Busy Lizzies TSV

I know they are advance orders to be despatched mid-March but I think even that is too early, they can't really go out until mid/end May. Keeping them indoors, if you don't have a greenhouse, will be really difficult - they need a lot of water, pinching out and are very prone to red spider mite.

I'm not against mail order plants per se, I'm sure they're a boon for people who can't get to garden centres, but some of the things they sell are not really suitable and people might be disappointed with the result.

Damn, I thought for a moment there that our very own BL was gonna be a TSV and we could all have a piece of her.

All the plants I've ever had from QVC have failed miserably, I'd never get any again:mysmilie_73:

I sometimes wonder if RJ is a real gardener, if a T caller asks a question and he hasn't got the answer on his script he just waffles and ignores the question.

Our own lovely BusyLizzie who hasn't been around much lately but is particularly good with recipes and funnies.

I switched over this morning and saw it was a plants and flowers hour - couldnt reach for the remote quick enough to turn over. I will not be tempted to buy anymore plants from QVC as they NEVER grow!!!!

I bought some Oriental Poppies last year, they didn't flower but they are still going strong.

The only plants I have bought from QVC that have actually grown have been roses.
None of the TSV plants I bought last year have grown so I won't buy from them again.

Last year I bought fuschias, geraniums, strawberry plants and cat repelling plants, they all thrived and I was really pleased with them. But I also bought Begonia corms as a TSV and not one of them grew.. QVC replaced them, and only 6 of them grew.. If I buy plants again it will be not be corms..
