    I have been (justifiably) critical of T&M on more than one occasion in years past, and I know that I am not alone. Indeed, I rarely buy from them now, preferring to raise my own plants from seed - however, I will still get the odd thing when they do some of their uber-bargain deals (usually at the end of their selling season), and have done so this year.

    Whereas in years gone by, it was more miss than hit with their plants, this year I have not had one plant that is a duffer - not one. Here is the latest delivery, which I will be potting on tomorrow:

      They've been taken over, FC, by BVG Group who sell sports gear, fishing tackle, footwear and clothing, so that might have something to do with it.:dunno::snorky:

        Something has definitely changed, and it appears to be for the better. Good to see - I don't like to see businesses going down the pan.

              I think that pie looks tasty however the utensils seem to indicate that it is not for sharing and that dissappoints me because I believe I've earned a piece or two lately. Let me get my own fork and spoon.... :)
