She's good and down to earth isn't she Jen.
I like her on the One Show but she always seems to get rushed along for the next link.
Hope you enjoy it LG - I like the mix in it.

My RHS magazine arrived - I might get the Erysimums, but I've already got the geraniums in the leaflet.

Glad it arrived Geranium. They weren't anything out of the ordinary were they?

I thought it looked a bit rude after I re-read my post No it didn't, Jas! I'm having second thoughts about the Erysimums - what do you think - they're all 9 cm pots. Would they flower this year? |

Hmm, that's quite small isn't it. I don't think they would get to flowering here. Depends if you want to take a chance  |

I'll take another look-see as they were varieties I haven't spotted in GCs, but I might wait and get bigger plants, I think. I'll need to fill gaps before June! And this time, I'll take cuttings. |

I've just got to the end of February's GW and in the March issue they are giving away 2 free Buddleia Buzz (the blue one) to every reader - just pay P&P.

Yes....but HOW MUCH post and packing, that's the big q?  ? ;D ;D |

£4 something or other.

That's a good offer, Buzz is the one that's really good in a container is'nt it. |

It's supposed to be - if the picture is true to colour it really is quite blue too.

Be wary if this is a T&M offer, though. They send out such teensy-weensy plants that they're hardly worth it unless you have the patience of a saint and somewhere to grow them on.  |

At least if they come soon there's plenty of time for them to get going if they are small.

I have a friend who got some Buzz buddleias last year - they were hopeless, half dead. She did get another lot, eventually. I don't think she was too happy having to nag T&M.

I got bashed veggies from them one year - they did replace them but they don't have a good reputation for customer service and quality plants which is a shame cos other companies can do it.

Well I've never had anything half dead ( I'm a member of Tig's plant rescue society, I'm good a half dead i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif ). What I love is the things that they send me, that are very much alive, just nothing like what I ordered . Have come to the conclusion with them that if it's cheap & I fancy it I'll give it a go (would never pay full price for anything but seeds), but if I want something specific I'll go somewhere ( anywhere) else.

I got Garden News yesterday and opened it up to read Isabella's article and wondered where it was. Then I realised it had been in last week's copy - the week I was poorly and didn't get a copy  |
