Tesco Clubcard with Thompson & Morgan

Sorry, I'm New so i apologise if this has already been posted.

Tesco Clubcard has teamed up with Thompson & morgan to offer some deals on their veg/plants.

I got £14.99 worth of potato tubers with planting bags (inc 15 tubers of three varieties) for £6 worth of clubcard vouchers

and 10 Irrestisable Strawberry plants for £4 worth of vouchers (worth £9.99)

i'm just starting out growing my own stuff and i thought this was a great way of getting started.

you do send off for vouchers to send to Thompson & Morgan but for £25 worth of stuff for £10 i though it was worth the hassle! :cool:

there were some other plants on offer but i thought i'd share a fab deal.

We have used T&M before and never had any problem with their mail order plants.

This sounds good, can you tell me if you have to pay P & P or is it included in the cost of the order?

Not totally sure at the mo, as just send off for them but it didn't mention any additional charge to pay.

It should be here in a few days will post it when i have the voucher to send off for them.

I am not a fan of jam tomorrow cards - you paid to much for your potatoes ! The price you should be looking at is a lot less if you go to a garden centre , Where you can select tubers at 17p each also you will find a greater selection , They are selling from £3-20 a bag weighing 2 1/2 kilos or 3kilos , Also there are firms about that are on-line and do mail order, I order my seed potatoes at the beginning of November , For delivery depending on weather between late January and early March. The total paid for the order and carriage was £30-17p for five types which gave an all up weight of 15 kilos . Step and take a bow Edwin Tucker and Sons - seed merchants and Maltsers, P.S. carriage was £5-10 up to 30 kilos ! . Plant them in builders rubble bags if want salad potatoes early or for Xmas - But I run 150 feet of allotment and grow potatoes to supply 3 families from July to April most years .

thanks old sam.
they do come with planting bags they sell them separately at £9.99 for three. so i was going to pay full whack so in that respect i've saved some £.

as a complete noob i hadn't really thought of alternatives, my mum in law kept going on about buckets, but i thought they would restrict the crop.

next year will be much cheaper as i won't have the outlay for plants etc.

i saw some strawbs on there last night, i think it was 10 strawb plants for £6 of vouchers and that included delivery, so quite a good offer methinks.

I ordered the Begonia Apricot Shades and the Polianthes Tuberosas -both £4 in clubcard vouchers.

I would have just spent them instore so I was well pleased, will be more pleasant to look at and last longer than loo rolls or loaves of bread :rotfl:
