Ordering seeds from Thompson and Morgan

 
Beware if you are ordering seeds from Thompson and Morgan on-line - they
have a number of special offers of plants and bulbs. But if you are
tempted, they add on a separate P&P for the plants/bulbs, so for
example, 40 narcissi, down from £9.99 to £3.49, has a P&P of £4.95 ....
meaning your bill will go up by £8.44.


It's OK if you have already included plants in your order, because
you'll already have incurred the P&P charge.

I bought 4 packets of seed from T & M trade side, and when they came
yesterdat the Invoice/picking slip inside was printed on the ols style
computer paper with the holes down eack side.
It was 14 1/2 inches wide and was 3 sheets of 11" long, so that was a
piece of paper 14 1/2 x 33", a company that really cares for the
environment.

I am not surprised to hear this, always a good idea to compare total
order prices.

Thanks, If it reaches 1.5m in its third season then I'll be happy. I'm
in the far south of the UK and coastal so the growing season is very
long here and winters very mild with frosts being quite rare just here
(except last year which was unusual). Hardiness to cold shouldn't be an
issue. Strong winds are another story.

   I live on the coast, strong winds frequent, and MML is the only grass
among many I grow, that stands sturdily upright and handsome throughout
winter. It stays at 3 to 4 ft high but in 7 or 8 years has only spread to
about 1 ft diameter at the base. So, over time it does become quite
congested with old stems. About every 2nd year I give it a very robust
combing out/scritching to thin them out and make way for new, using one of
those hand -tool rakes or cultivators with right angled tines.
