miss the parcel today, royalmail told me i gotta wait for 72 hrs before i can go collect the parcel

well gutted as with the weather , those plants will defo suffocate n die in the car, what a waste

Ill send you my postie, hes fab, signs all my signed for letters/parcels for me if im still in bed as he comes about 6.30am, and puts them inside my porch, then if the porch is locked he delivers them to my mums.

Its iis a bit rubbish that you have to wait so long especially as its a time sensitive package. When i lived in a small town we had to wait till the postie got back tot he office plus 2 hours, somtimes this meant we couldnt collect till the next day and they were always closed on a saturday so if you missed a friday delivery, monday was the earliest you could get it.

Now or postie takes most things to our local post office, so even if we miss him by 5 minutes the parcels etc are there waiting.

Did anyone else think that the plants were a tad small? I couldn't believe it, I've never seen plants that small before, they'll probably die anyway.

£50 worth reduced . Er no I don't think so ! Maybe just about worth what I paid but many of mine are indeed dead already. Probably my lack of gardening skill though !

I used to think the same thing when I first started buying mail order. The ones I got have doubled in size in just a few days with this heat wave, and they WILL give you a good display, all they need is a wee drink and a feed now and then , just like us. Have faith:T

6 in each tub 1 of each will give you a good display. The others are mainly border plants, but you could put them in pots as well. 3 plants in a 12 in pot.

The geraniums could be put in the centre of a pot surrounded by the lobelia.
The surfinas are trailing plants, and are best in baskets, or at the edge of a large pot.

I agree. I received mine and am very impressed with the quality.
I bought the £1.75 Hydrangea recently from the site that we were all getting the cheap bulbs from (can't remember to hand which site) and it came as 2 tiny twigs sticking out of a small pot. In a matter of weeks it is a 10" leafy wonder!
I would NEVER buy from my local garden centre now, lovely as it is (Klondyke) as the prices are just rip-off. This bundle from them would have probably cost the RRP stated. So thanks again from me Mothership:beer:
