    I got Begonias too! I love these, and nearly bought some from the garden centre last weekend. They arrived in great condition.

    Going to have to pot them all up now and my sisters ones for her as she won't have a flippin clue though, doh! Got no compost - cheapest place to buy anyone - lidl??

    No sign of the petunias - I'm now guessing these will also be mini-plugs!

    poundland, homebargains, aldi etc all sell compost x

    Just got mine today Begonias came in good condition, small but I was expecting them small.

    What I did with teasing plants out of the trays is use a drill bit in the hole at the bottom of the tray, they come out easy that way without damage. EDIT wasnt in first box but 2nd box had a piece of wood in it to tease plants out

    I then transplanted them into old plant containers you get with plants at garden centre trays of pansies for example. I mixed some compost (new) with some sharp sand (B&Q) just to add drainage I did add a lot, you dont have to use sand but I just like to help it along.

    I put them in a cold frame or plastic greenhouse

    Mine came with a little lollipop stick which you use to poke them out through the holes in the bottom of the tray. Popped out easily.
