    I got some of my strawberries today. I ordered Mara des Bois and the Royal Sovereign special offer on the 11th but only got the Mara des Bois. It says Royal Sovereign to follow.

    I planted my 108 royal sovereign plants, that cost £25 ( :) ) in my containers today :)

    I got my rhubarb on Tuesday and they said (also on Tuesday) that my strawberries (the Royal Sovereign) will be sent out within next 7 days..

    I got mine 7 days ago. They are flourishing. Dont worry too much, as long as you get them in before the end of april, they will fruit. But the sooner the better. Perhaps give them a ring?

    They arrived today. But Post Office screwed up again, stamp says 25th March and they only arrived today so they are all nearly dead.
    Mr F is sending out a new ones though.

    I would plant them. They may `look` dead, (as mine did), but mine have grown. Looks like you unintentially `played the system` :)

    I just phoned them. Mine were posted on Tuesday but haven't had them yet. Lady said they should be fine in the post for a few days and they should come back ok after planting & watering.
