Good places to buy veg plants rather than seeds?? - getting organised for spring

Hello and happy new year

I would normally grow my veg from seed but as I'm due mid march was thinking I would pre-order a bunch of veg plants and get DH to plant out. Methinks tending seedlings may not be at the top of my list when lo arrives.....

Anyway, I've lost my T&M catalogue and most websites I've looked at have got a pretty limited collection of actual plants to pre-order.

Any recommendations? Am I just jumping the gun, will the options improve as the spring looms?

thanks
SM

My local garden centre has a good variety of veg & salad plants available from Easter - you could take the baby shopping but still get DH to prepare the soil & plant out.

Or, bung in some hardy stuff for this year from Feb/early March, like potatoes, squashes and beans and leave them to it. I usually have a rubbish gardening year when babies arrive.

That's a neat site. I may well use it - the childrens garden would make a great present.
