Subscriber ONLY Offer : Chelsea Flower Show Celebration (Thompson & Morgan)

I know what you mean lovelife, I find plug plants the hardest for some reason. They just seem to take forever to get going when potted up. I much prefer bulbs or seeds.

Added:
Are they plug plants? I just assumed they were and then checked the description again and it just says plants.

I thought the same too, a lot of my plug plants like to fail and die on me so actual pot plants would be great. If it says to repot into 3" pots they must be tiny. With my wilko plug dark eye fuschia I put 4 of the plugs straight in a hanging basket, pinched them out and they are quite nice and bushy now.

I managed to kill all bar 1 of the petunia plugs I got from Morrisons a few months ago... Not that the gale force winds that attacked the plastic greenhouse helped!

I got 6 fuschia plugs from there at the same time and they've been great, just repotted them again so they must be pretty foolproof! Must stop buying fuschias though. From T&M I've got the 10 for £4.45, 5 for £2.99 plus the ones that are coming in this pack! Added to the 6 I already have that's 26! :rotfl:

I think some might be getting given away...

(Must not buy more plants, must not buy more plants...)

They are lovely plants though. I had the most amazing hanging basket one last year, it was one of those celebrity fuschias, this one was charlie dimmock. It was stunning, so big and flowerful, I can't believe I thought they'd all died over winter and chucked them - gutted!!

And just think if you take cuttings you could have a fuschia forest.

Heh, I might have to start selling them! More money for plants...

This is what I intend doing Garnet Lady - take cuttings and sell them. Have done this with others in the past and these will increase the choice available!

This deal almost seems like daylight robbery with free postage. Code I used was GW544

I ran out as soon as the rain stopped and dug the edging of the lawn for more cauliflowers to go. So now there's more space for them and other bits it got me thinking of whats coming from T&M soon (not that I need more to fill the gaps , rather need more gaps to fill in). Anyway if I do get the erge I was wondering if anyone knew what the vouchers are? Is there minimum spend on them and is the £10 split into 2 £5 or just a £10. TIA

Yes, they are plug plants,I have put them in 3 inch pots and now in the mini greenhouse Has anyone received anything else from this offer, this is all i have had so far.
I also ordered the summer border collection times two £9.99 for £57 worth of plants. These arrived last week and were all tiny!! And a lot were climbers, we had to put them all into pots, all 50 of them. Just a bit concerned because my mum, has said that all these plants should be in the garden and flowering now as they have such a short season, all hers are!

I haven't received any part of the offer yet. Haven't received my sale seeds either, so much for delivery within 7 days. Mind you I don't know if I missed a parcel this morning. Doorbell went and by the time I got up and found my keys the parcel postie was driving away... So I don't know if it was something for me and he's left it next door, or if it was something for next door and they were slow in getting to the door but got it. (If you know what I mean you're doing well! :rotfl:)

Went out to the greenhouse earlier and some of the fuchsia plugs are not looking happy. Looks like only a few are going to survive out of the 15 I recently got.
