Hi
I have bought a few times from Ken Muirs and found the plants very good. I would recomend them. I once had a delivery of strawberries from them which the postman left the package in some obscure place and we did not find them untill they had dried out. Ken Muirs offered to replace them no problem but said they thought they might grow, and you know what every one grew well ::)
I did once grow a Tayberry but found them too tart for my liking.

I once had a pile of totally dried out strawberries which had been left to dry in the sun all day during a heatwave. I left them soaking in a bucket of water overnight, and every one had recovered by morning.
