Thanks, Christina! I won't bother with them again.


You should.

Why? I bought stuff that didn't work at all. Yours is puny ...

But they are there, waiting to be saved. Do try. Asda have plants
waiting to be bought, but no-one ever waters them so they wilt and
die. It's probably not in anyone's job description to do it. How bad
is that?

The mushroom pack I bought didn't need to be watered until I set it up.


With a lot of these places the answer is to get the plants just after
they arrive in store, and not when they have been sitting there for
weeks or months.
Also if they are the type of place that gets in mixed plants then you
can find the odd treasure that has been put in to make up numbers.


I agree about the plants, but I was talking about a pack of mushroom
(fungus/spores??) I bought 2 packs, followed directions to the letter
and never got a single flippin' mushroom! Pound shop plant stuff iss
now verboten!!! ... well unless they are living plants with roots etc g

Wilkos is pretty flush with bare root plants and summer bulbs. I trust
them slightly more than Poundshop


Thanks Stuart. I don't think we have one up here, but next time I am down I
will have a look!
