As another poster said they had never heard of this outfit, I thought it was worth letting you in on the 'secret'

I have used them and they seem fine.

Used them many times, perfectly fine.

Yes I used them last year can be slow but order should come

In fairness with plants sometimes things don take time to come I have had slowness with T&M too a couple of times

My 160 geranium plugs arrived this morning - looks like I have got a few extra free. Bit of a potting on job for later ;-)

163 geraniums later, aching back and creaky knees...;-)

I've thought about getting some but I'm not sure how to keep them going for a couple of months until it's warm enough to plant them out. Do you keep yours in a greenhouse ?

Thanks

No, these have gone into Morrison's 'flowers' pots (8 for 99p) 10 at a time and will sit on the windowsill.

I plan to remove at least half that number and transplant in a month or so.

Those Morrison's pots could easily take 4 full grown geraniums if not 5.

Not sure when our last frost usually is but we live in Cornwall so it's earlier than most of the UK.

Are you referring to those black tubs they use for cut flower displays? I'm a bit confused as I couldn't imagine ten of those on a windowsill I use the black plastic tubs for bulbs most so that I can tuck them away in different parts of the garden and just see the flowers.

I have lost a lot of plants over the winter so far - including special fuscias and geraniums, so I am tempted by the geraniums but wouldn't want so many if they are all the same colour.

16 actually lol.

Big windowsills.

We went for Parade selection so lots of different colours, wife really only likes red but I win this year ;-)

They do have some unusual plants on offer for reasonable money at various times of year if you keep an eye out. My 6 year old son chose to spend some of his Xmas money on a slug eating plant and a venus fly trap - they are due to arrve in April I think.

The plug flowers and veg my friend got last year all came on wonderfully, they didn't arrive all dried out and nasty like some places stuff can. He's a fussy pensioner and he says they seem to look after the plants they sell for what it's worth. Sadly our budget keeps us growing everything from seed.
