Two trays of plant plugs arrived today out of the five I ordered. Delivered

without a signature) and in very good condition. It looks like one tray has
been upside down as a couple of the plants were loose on top of the rest.
Not
damaged mind just loose.


If you think the post can be bothered to keep them right way up you are
sadly mistaken. ;-)

Strictly speaking your postie shouldn't leave them unless you have
requested it in writing. The others will no doubt arrive via a different
postie who follows the letter of the rules and you'll get the P739
treatment.

That a third tray delivered today. Again by post, again left by the door,
again perfect examples. Several double and a few trebles in this tray. I
have split them all this time and put all the 2nd's in a separate tray to
see how they do.

I now have 127 potted up in the greenhouse. See Plug plants in

The posties know us and know its ok to leave parcels like that. Even when
they can't because it has to be signed for its no hardship to walk the 150
yards to the sorting office. That's one thing we do have local:-)

You're making me sad. :-(
I went to the greenhouse this evening and most of my plug plants that I
haven't had time to do have had it. :'(
