Strawberry plants
Last autumn I purchased by mail order 20 strawberry plants from Thomson
and Morgan. The day I received them I soaked them in water and planted them into a prepared bed that same day. Not one plant has survived the experience. Not one plant appeared above ground or put out any green growth. I'm a gardener of 50 years experience and wouldn't expect any problems with planting strawberry plants. I've contacted T&M and it will be interesting to see what they have to say. Peter -- It is necessary for the good man to do nothing for evil to triumph. Attributed to Edmund Burke 1729 - 1797 |

I've stopped using Thompson and Morgan as I've had similar experiences with them. David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK |

I would only use them for seeds having had problems in the past with plants being sent out very late. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
Went to Homebase today.
They have a great selection of Strawberry plants. (3 for £2.50) Worth a look if you are looking for replacements. Brian |
