:beer: Thanks for that, I couldn't find it anywhere. That will keep mum entertained for a while tomorrow.

Has most people received theirs now? I have another 3 coming my way. Well not all for me, some for mum. I used the 2 £5 vouchers and then another £5 I got because a 69p pack of seeds was out of stock. It seems a bit cheeky, but thought I may aswell if they are still taking orders as it's not as though I've used codes that aren't for me.
So for £5 spend I will have 4 CFS packs and £30 worth of vouchers to spend. Surely I can't kill all of them now. The downside is the grape vines I wanted are now OOS.
Anyway the main reason for posting (nearly forgot) has the value range of seeds been taken off the site. I know the sale has ended but I thought the value range should still be there. Or is it and I'm just being blind. Am I rambling?

Hmm, hang on, I'll go and look...

Nope, not there. I searched for Viola seeds as well because I got a pack of them from the value range (in the sale) and they're all showing as out of stock.

The rest of my seeds came yesterday.

Another 2 of my plugs are dead, noticed yesterday. Most of the Chelsea ones are still going but they don't look great.

Not rambling, well not any more than I am! :rotfl: I'm bored, husband is off watching the football and I'm watching Lewis. Watched a bit of Gardener's World Live earlier.

ETA, yeah I just found it. But when I look they're all back to full price...

Just been looking at them - I take it back mum won't be entertained for long. It has been reduce to 1 page and some of them are OOS. Oh well I did get some anyway. Trying to think of where we could go for cheap ones (for over wintering flowers). I currently watching GW - just seen the idea for making better home made plant food, looked quite interesting.

I saw an inflatable greenhouse on GW Live - it cost £499!!! Scary money.

Had a look at the seed companies in my favourites but none seem to have any sales on.

My latest delivery note was only 2 pages.

I hope you get all the vouchers with the packs, you'd have done well there then just hope the next round of plants are a bit more healthier!

I ordered my Chelsea collection on 30 May, and still no sign of them. I know it said end of June delivery, but I'm off on holiday later this week, so if they don't arrive before I go T&M will get them sent back by Post Office. Is it better to phone or email them to check where they are? I can offer alternative delivery address, will T&M change it for me do you think?
I have to say I've had plants from both T&M, and Jersey Plants Online lately, and I've been quite disappointed by the size and quality of them, and the fact that when you complain you get told to give them a couple of weeks to grow before any refund is given. It's more expensive to buy from Homebase etc, but you can see what you are getting, and my fuschias bought that way are looking gorgeous, T&M ones are quite pathetic alongside those.

I'm now down to 2 fuchsias, the rest have died. Transplanted the ones that survived the journey into individual pots and put them in my mini greenhouse but one by one they've all wilted and died except for the last two which do look pretty healthy.

The geraniums are doing very well and I'm going to put them in the ground next weekend, and train them up a cane wigwam. And the petunias which I planted in a hanging basket are also doing well.

The fuchias and geraniums were for Dad as part of his Father's Day prezzie. They didn't look too promising but i have potted them all up for him and i'm hoping they will grow. The geraniums seem to be okay, but the fuschias aren't very strong and there are bits falling off some of them and yellowing. I removed the nasty bits. I do think the quality has been quite poor with this offer though, going on the feedback on here about the plants. And the late delivery of orders with T & M is a reet pain in the derriere!

for god sake don't bother emailing them as their system is a joke,

you can shave a few days off this by posting on their facebook page shaming them into responding but even this seems to take forever nowdays,

a typical first responce takes 14 day (no i'm not joking) then typically depending on which operator checks the email you will get a template responce (so far a have had a responce to say an order has indeed been dispatched when infact there was a payment issue so could not have been dispatched and another standard template telling me my order had been dispathed when My enquiry was actually about a missing packet of seeds, the fact that my email explained that I had received the parcel didn't seem to sink in)

then you will have to wait another 7 days to get a responce to your reply.

phone them every time if I were you

Yep, got a standard email, but I phoned this a.m. so no need to bother with that. I'm now told that they are picking my order today, and it should be here midweek. I'll not believe that until it happens. If they get here by Friday I hope they are big enough to be left to their own devices while I'm away! Before I leave I'm setting up a nursery area for my little plants, lots of light, no direct sunlight, and well watered , as I can't find anyone able to come to check on them for me. I hope they survive after waiting so long for them to arrive.
