Hard to beat a parcel of live plants, and although I don't share your passion for double prims, I wish you great joy from them. I'll be interested to hear how you got on with the lollip stick plant labels, I had no problem with permanent marker fading on them, just with them turning moldy and obscuring the text! But hey, everyone loves a mystery plant...Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-38741709513609678552014-09-05T17:47:45.024-07:002014-09-05T17:47:45.024-07:00I went back 2 weeks ago to prepare the class and t...I went back 2 weeks ago to prepare the class and the kids arrived on Tuesday. Nice group so far. I'm only teaching 110 instead of the 165 I've had in the past. I'm close friends with the other teachers on my team, which helps make the day fun.

I had my regular customers that received plants regularly and always arranged a safe place to put them in their garden. <br />That said, I'm glad no damage was done and you recieved what looks like very healthy plants. I've heard mixed reviews of T&M in the past - good luck with them. I love Primula too and that's a nice wee selection you have.

I should say that T&M must have very good packaging. I was surprised myself last spring to find what mail-order plants can stand up to when, due to a misunderstanding and our odd local delivery system, I found that my package had set out in a hot, steel mailbox for a couple of days before I realized.
