Anyone taken up the tomato plant offer from Thompson & Morgan in Gardeners World earlier this year?. 6 plants for £8.99. Mine arrived yesterday (ordered in early March) and they are awful. Tiny plants that are all twisted and very weak . Could have bought much better plants for less money at the local garden centre Just wondered if I was unlucky or if anyone else has had the same experience.

There are endless complaints about that company Susie. By now, tomatoes should be a decent size and ready to flower.
You might still be lucky to pick up a few at the GC or even the well known diy store. They'll catch up well enough to give you some toms this year.
Better to grow from seed yourself - it's not difficult and saves you the problem you've just experienced. You'd have needed those by early April at the size they send out. Make sure you get your money refunded.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Have you told T&M? I would be asking for a full refund.

Have done already. I await your response.
Hi Fairygirl. The reason I opted for this offer was that there were six plants of different varieties, with some unusual ones. Not easy to get one each of a good selection when raising from seed. At least T&M have responded (see above), we'll see what happens, but pretty sure I won't be getting any unusual tomatoes this year after all.
