Supplier Thompson and Morgan
When I first took over my new allotment in the spring of this year, I
asked for advice on a supplier of fruit bushes. Quite a few posters warned me off Thomson and Morgan on the grounds that their quoted delivery dates could not be relied on, and to avoid them. On the other hand a friend spoke glowingly of them, and relying on someone I knew, I ordered fruit bushes and some asparagus crowns from T & M. Each order was confirmed with a delivery date, and each order was received by their quoted delivery dates. Mine was quite a large order and included asparagus crowns, gooseberry bushes, raspberry canes, blackcurrant and loganberry plants. I felt it was only fair to put on record my experiences with them, in view of the less than glowing report I received here.

But horrendous prices. You can get just as good cheaper elsewhere. |

/T&M/ They are OK. But horrendous prices. You can get just as good cheaper elsewhere. OTOH, if you have a complaint or an observation, they look into it and *ACT*. Back when Pixie (tomato) was a new variety, and billed as 'self-supporting, do not require pinching-out' and 'flavoursome', I bought a packet of seeds. All the plants split and fell over, and IMO were as flavourless as Moneymaker. I passed these observations back to T&M just as feedback. They very kindly sent me two packets of pre-release seeds of other varieties to try the following year, But in the past I've bought rooted things from Ken Muir with no complaint. -- Rusty |
