Not long now and I should have some flowers on this one. Good thing I bought three, as the other two look nothing like this. One is quite pathetic (my Sarah Raven buys) 💕💕

At long last I've received my Sarah Raven plants; never shall I order from her again. Healthy little plants, yes, but her lack of customer service is just not right. She can send me her fancy catalogues and I can use them for reference and grow; or get them from Tong Garden Centre!😃❤❤

@jaynehynesburton Bradford way or should I say Drighlington. It's brilliant now there's been lots of improvements and the staff are so nice. I love it there. I'd say it's the best GC I've been to 😊😊

@jaynehynesburton As these plants are little would I be better potting them given the time of year? I don't want the frosts to kill them 😯

I would put them in now Chris, tough plants and the ground is still warm

@anges That's all they're good for I wouldn't recommend ordering from her. Very very slow and they send you emails trying to sell you other things but, don't keep you updated where your order is. I'd say I waited 5 weeks for these plants. Not good 😕

I've had Gladioli bulbs from her this year but they've not performed well at all 🙄 Won't bother again 🌿

@anges Well I certainly won't. Customer service is everything and when you have to ring up asking where your plants are and then they arrive over a week later than when you were told. Not inpressed at all. Gyo and a good GC is best. I only ordered them from here because they didn't have them at the GC

@anges Ps I'm sorry to hear about your bulbs. Try complaining. When I did over my first Poppies from her she sent me another one and it was better. It's worth complaining 😉
