      Anybody got their spring planting garlic yet?

      Normally £3.99 for 75, I bet those were cheap with £5 off and free P&P :biggrin:

          Got my spring planting garlic delivered today, after £5 voucher and free P&P it was 4p/clove. Worked out that ordering at full price and paying P&P it would have been a whopping 41p/clove :yikes:

            Got the Gazania plugs plants today:
            20160326-P3260004.jpg

            They had spent four days in the post going by the dispatch email Van Meuwen sent me so don't look so healthy. Potted on immediately:

            20160326-P3260005.jpg

            I think they will recover OK in a few days.

              Hi JWK,

              They look alright to me. The actual growing tips/true leaves seem as though they should be able to come through ok :)

              Do you live in an out of the way place ? I've never had owt that's taken four days to get to me. I've even had stuff from the Isle of Man delivered to me by 10-30 the morning after it was posted.

              Well some people think Guildford is out of the way :)

              Generally things get here quickly, maybe the Easter holidays delayed it.

                Love seeing what people got, the free stuff from VM must be one of my best bargain finds, probably only equaled when I got 2 trolley loads of reduced gardening items at Wilkos when everything was going through at 1p each, but with this one lots of others got to share it.
