I posted about this earlier on, but it seems to have not appeared. Never dealt with T&M, so no idea, which Geums are they ?

This is T & M we are talking about OB, so they may not be what was originally ordered based on past experience! Should be 1 of each Totally Tangerine, Alabama Summer, Mai Tai and Tequila Sunrise.

Got the first and the third, but never even heard of the others. Hope you get them, Mai Tai is gorgeous. Sadly that and Totally Tangerine are PBR plants. We do have 20 or so other Geums though. The ones you have on order are all listed in SpecialPerennials catalogue (http://www.specialperennials.com/) |

I shall wait and see what arrives, I note from the special perennials site they have Alabama Slammer, so probably T & M even got the name wrong for that one in the 'collection'.

That really is a bit of a shambles Tig, I do agree with Jasmine 'tho if anyone could get them through the winter it would be you. You're well known for your TLC with plants. As to Mr Fothergils, they're off my list as well since I've been trading emails for weeks with them and had one apology after another about not being able to use my £5. voucher and order seeds buy 5 packets get one free. They've given up now and so have I. |

I got an email from T&M this morning... ''We are thrilled to announce that we have won the Sun award for Best Online/Mail Order Gardening Retailer! So as a thank you for all the customers that voted for us we'll be sending you a week of special offers just for you. Today....Free P&P until midnight tonight!'' I did NOT vote for them...I just got the email! There's not much you can say really! |

I forgot to say that I got my 6 heuchera plus from T&M yesterday! On the plus side they are heucheras and they're nice sized healthy plugs but I think they may have muddled labelling Amethyst Mist and Berry Smoothie! Wouldn't do for them to get everything right! |

Just been on FB and seen T & M will be offering Begonia tubers - the Fragrant Variety that I was sent some years ago. There were so good that I asked if it was possible to send them again to Germany and the answer is No.
I have googled before and just now again and it is only T & M that have these scented Begonias..
Depending on what is being offered is someone prepared to order some for me and send them here - obviously with all costs reimbursed??

Got yet another mail from T 6 M with the 20% off and a link which leads me to the offers - I saw some seeds that I would hev liked but when I get to the checkout I am told it is only for the UK....
Finally got the right side for me and of course the offers don't apply...
I really am getting fed up of getting mails and then being refused the offers....

Did you use the alternative code they suggested (TMFN148) at the TandMworldwide.com checkout RosefriendIt turns out that all the offers I get in the mails from T & M are only for distribution in the UK. I then go to the international site and none of the good seed offers are there. I tried put them in the basket and then again - only for the UK. I have just got a mail to say why did I leave the board as I have something in my basket... It is allowed to send seeds of course but it looks very much now as though only the UK'ers get the really good seed offers ( I used to be able to get them) these days and of course they can see frommy IP addy where I am. Think it might be better to post on FB (and tell them to bugga awf) and delete my account by them..might as well let others also know what a pack of idiot they are. My brochure is also different to the UK'ers. I pay more for delivery anyway so what is the problem. RF |

I go onto websites and want to buy a list of things, only to find that they apply to mainland UK only. At least I don't get emails from them offering discounts. Apart from T&M of course, they send emails but when they offer free delivery, they still charge us here. Apparently it's somewhere in the small print.  |

I decided to ask T & M why there asre no pics on the seed packets that they send online..
"One question, if I may, it is rather annoying not to have a picture of the plants on the front of the seed packets, - even if the botanical names are known, the variety often isn't. For seed firms that are purely based online I can appreciate that it is a cost factor but for firms such as T & M that sell both online and in GC's etc for the same price, I feel this is just not justified.
Why is this??"
The reply was:
"I am happy to hear that you are now in receipt of your order. I can confirm that we do not have image specific packets for our seeds as this keeps our overall cost of packaging and shipping at a low. This is reflected in the prices of our seeds so we can continue to offer the most competitive and low prices and still supply top quality products.
I am very sorry for the inconvenience this may cause but I am sure you will be delighted with the seeds you have received."
There isn't a great deal to say is there - wonder how many times she has said that!!
