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.

He spoke with a certain what-is-it in his voice, and I
could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far
from being gruntled.

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.
