Thompson & Morgan not so lucky dip

antw23uk

I will probably put one in a 12inch diameter pot. I have few knocking about but you could also put two or three in a grow bag which i did last year with a low forming tomato plants and that worked really well.

My T&M 3 Buddleia Buzz have just arrived and they are great healthy looking jumbo plugs. Im very pleased with them and they only cost me 1p + P&P :beer:

I have never bought plug plants before, so I was expecting something larger.
On a positive note though' the seeds were an unexpected bonus and will be good until next year and some of the plants lupins and potentilla(sp?) had five tiny plants in their little two inch pots.
Also I now have another couple of weeks to clear the space for them.

I just received my order too. VERY disappointed! Could have got better quality and cheaper in homebase or B&Q. Called to tell them I thought as much and customer serv called Jake basically grunted at me and said tough as I only paid £9.99!! I'm expecting a call from a manager today, but wont be holding out for it.

I also ordered some bare root oriental poppies, which I am very pleased with, but owing to horrendous cust serv I will not be using them again and sticking with my local garden centre. Your loss t&m

Just spoke to manager, actually a bit happier now, got a full refund and am keeping the plants....off to Colombia Road on Sunday with my £15 then! Much better quality and much much cheaper

Yep mine are pants too - full of black stuff, some kind of blight? Loads of packs of last year's seeds included but no use to me and not what I was interested in. How on earth can they claim this bunch of microscopic and very near-dead stuff is worth £100???
Yes I'll be getting in touch with them!

Looks like you'd all have been better off with the 72 perennial plugs for £9.99.Mine arrived yesterday (didn't pay a penny for them as used clubcard vouchers) and they're all perfectly healthy

Have to say I've never had a problem with T&M,always had healthy plants and good offers through them so this is a bit of a let down for them.I've never gone for a lucky dip though,so maybe it's just been with that.

I have potted up my plants and the 5 that did look dead have started to shoot out green leaves. Very nice selecion of plants cant wait for them to grow.

Anyone know how big the "FREE" Fuchsia collection (Mail Rewards) are they say "Worth £32.47., but no indication of size, been "Caught" before with T & M.
Forseee many more bargains in the summer, with the Hose ban, not many people will buy new plants.

Hi - my 3 Buddleia 'Buzz' for 1p + P+P arrived earlier this week - good sized jumbo plugs, I think and all look healthy. Have just planted out

orangepony

I agree. I received a few very tiny plants (far too small to plant out) called 'Jumbo Plugs' and a few packets of seeds - no mention of seeds in the ad. I didn't want seeds and I could have bought the plantlings from my local garden centre for a couple of pounds at the most. Very poor value and nothing like the description of the offer IMO. Not up to Moneysavingexpert's usual standard.
