What do you do with Plug plants? Parts 1 & 2

[veggiechicken]

Mine have arrived - Yodel, SP.
I had
Verbena - Glory Days
Salvia - Desert Fire .............

&
2 lots of begonias
Compacta and Destiny.

All very healthy - unlike some "free if you pay p&p" geranium & petunia plugs that also arrived today which are very ho-hum in comparison.

[vixylix]

are they at least different begonias VC?

[veggiechicken]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeell, they're different to two of the earlier lots

The 4 large trays have the 680 plugs in whilst the 2 small trays in front have 36 plugs each of geranium & petunia and came from T&M. Not impressed with the geraniums



Here's a plug comparison!



Thought somebody might be interested

Mine haven't arrived .

Thats quite some differences between your deliveries VC

[veggiechicken]

Hope yours arrive tomorrow, SP.
In terms of value for money, the "free" ones cost £5.65 p&p and they also sent 2 packets of fertiliser. Stated value for the plugs and feed were £29.
I'm not going to take up these "free" offers again because the plugs are so poor in comparison.

According to yodel they are out for delivery and will be here by 7pm.
What a load of cr@p it's always the same with any delivery. There's always a down side to paradise. Just hope the bu@@ers don't drive round with them in the back of their van for days ( again ).

Sorry that you haven't got your plant yet SP, I have been in the greenhouse potting on some of my plants, the only thing I have noted is the geranium leaves are a bit pale but I have potted on worse that them and they have come all right, well I hope you receive your plants tomorrow, and was thinking if VC wanted a swap she could pick whatever she wanted as long as its not the geraniums or the bacopa nor the begonia compacta but other than them she can have what she wants (of course VC would have to cover the postage) so let me know VC.

My plants arrived
I've got begonia destiny, begonia Sahara, busy lizzy tutu pastels, lobelia Royal blue.
They copped well with their extra days travel.
2 1/2 trays are pricked out into 40 cell trays already (they didn't turn up till 4.30).

[veggiechicken]

Glad they've arrived safely, SP
You're a fast worker I've only pricked out one and half trays.

I wish someone sold lots of perennial plugs as cheaply. Would love to fill the garden with random plants

[Bobh]

SP pricking out yesterday

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Bob Nice to see SP's keeping busy

[Small pumpkin]

Wow...... That's a good look!! Not

[Small pumpkin]

I've finished pricking out all my plants

[veggiechicken]
