my 2 packs arrived today also it really is a good job the flowers are an added bonus for me as the geraniums look very poorly the leaves have brown slimy bits on them

more excited to spend my vouchers to be honest:T

I ordered my pack in May and they didn't arrive until 23rd June. The Jolly Nantes fuschias I had also ordered were great quality but all of the celebration plants were feeling pretty sorry for themselves... nothing as bad as Rhysdad's though (I hope you get a good response Rhysdad). Two each of the geraniums and petunias died, and three of the fuschias. The fuschias were mouldy when they arrived!

I complained about the quality straight away and have just had a response - £10 of vouchers! Laughably the e-mail said complaints like mine were very rare!!! I am pleased with the £10 but am left with some empty hanging baskets now which is disappointing, especially as the plants that have survived are not growing on very strongly.

Still, I'm sure I'll have fun deciding what to buy next!:)

Your geraniums might pull through, mine had the same slime which made holes in the leaves but they've come along quite well.

I seriously considered not even bothering to pot some of my lot today, seems a shame to waste the compost. But I've been a bit of a grumpy mare today so it's probably just me.

On a positive note though the T&M GW offer next month is going to be 100 free alliums (£4.50 P&p). It goes on sale on the 30th, so offer should be on in about 10 days I would think.

There is also a code to get 5 issues of GW for £5 with the option to cancel before you pay £16.20 for 6 issues. Anyone wants it just give me a shout. (It's not a one time use code.)

I was very bad and bought lots of gardening mags this month.

Mine arrived today. They don't look very healthy but I planted them anyway and I'll see how they go. I bought fuschias from them previously from an offer posted on here and two of them died. I didn't complain but thinking I should if any from the Chelsea Flower Show Celebration die.

Mine don't look too bad but as I am either very silly or just over complicating things being the garden newbie I am.....I'm confused as to what to do with them.

Trailing this and climbing that, I have so much to learn about everything!!

Hello everyone - not really been on for a bit. Popped in for a bit of lurking but not stayed long for posts - just quick reads.
Anyway I got mine yesturday, same plants as stated before. Mine all looked pretty good bar 1 or 2. A couple of my fuschias had flowers on already - I don't know if that is a good thing though, with them being so small. I'm really happy to get all my vouchers though - oh what to get next?

Yes one of my fuchsias have flowered, very bizarre, it's so tiny. I don't think it's a good thing!

I was surprised to find one of my fuschias flowering when it was so small as well.
