    I have been really disappointed this year with seeds I have had from Thompson & Morgan..has anybody else found a problem.
    I had Begonia seeds which were so tightly stuck to the adhesive on the packet that they would not come free. To be fair they did replace the packet, but I have just given up hope of any of my begonias coming up ...I sowed 3 different types
    I also had nasturtiums and sweet peas..again propagation has been really poor. I bought some replacement nasturtium seeds from a garden centre and they are all up.
    My latest disappointment has been a delivery of plug begonias..ordered to supplement the seeds. They arrived in the most sad state and I have had to throw away at least a third.To be fair again, T&M are going to replace them but it has been such a nuisance

    Not used T&M for years for various reasons.

    Not good news on the T&M front it seems!

    It's okay them replacing the plants/seeds, but they would probably be better, getting it right in the first place.

    It would also save them money in the first place as well.
