Hi I just received by plants today! Hooray. They are smaller plugs than I expected, ver tiny, but all ready to pot on for a bit of growth before setting in the garden. Looking forward to seeing my garden take shape with lots of new flowers this year and next.
I have received my plug plants on Friday. I have to say - I'm a bit dissapointed..
They were soooo small, they looked like planted in thimbles.
So I had to go and buy some smal flowerpots and compost for plug plants which did not only take extra time but extra money as well, because it said in the instructions you can not plant the small plugs immediatedly in the ground.
Hmm, I'm now beginning to wonder if mine have arrived and they're so small I can't find them ... must go and have a look around the letter-box or under the edge of the doormat and see if any mini-plants are lurking there!
I'm not a GW subscriber, but am lurking on here because you lot are so friendly and it's a great way to pick up tips (and it's a great way of asking 'stupid' novice questions without being laughed at). I am however, signed up to T&M's news emails, and this offer is open to anyone, as long as you have the code. It did say in my email (and on the web site) that stocks were limited, so I'm wondering if T&M have a deal with GW where they'll grow enough plants for GW's free offers, and if there are any left over, then offer them to those people who have their news email. I've applied for the offer, and hope to get my plants soon, they are normally quite small, but are always top quality, NOT like some of the other mail-order plant companies I've dealt with in the past.
I also save my clubcard vouchers until I've got £15 worth, this translates into £45 in vouchers. Then I go through the top cash back site, (I think the rate at the minute is 8%), spend an extra fiver to get the 'free' postage, and I get £50 of plants, PLUS cash back on the whole £50 spend, even though I've only spent £5 in real terms. This is great if like me, you are on a very limited budget. I love T&M!
Kate I'm begining to think I've been forgotten too. If I'm honest I've even forgotten what it is I actually ordered as it's so long since I ordered them

Thanks for the update, Max. We may be away for a day or two so I will ask a neighbour to keep an eye out in case mine arrive in our absence.

All in all it was not such a bargain.

It does not sound like they will be flowering this year.
Any more sightings or have I been forgotten?
