Hi

This bumper collection of garden essentials including plants, seeds and gardening equipment is worth £100, but we are offering it for just £10. Available while stocks last - order now to avoid disappointment!
I have no idea what this offer is but i have taken a gamble for a £10 and see what i get :) Might be a load of junk but might be something intresting :)

Can't wait to hear what you get!
Well i ordered one maybe worth a punt ;)
Every time I order from Van Meuwen its a gamble, never know whats going to be missing from one year to the next. Although this year they sent everything and also 10 Zantadeschias that I hadnt ordered :)
Note sure I woukld say 'just send me anything' for £10 though.
P&P extra,
I've just ordered, can't wait for my surprise package, hope it is a nice one. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Do love a good bargain.
done it, thanks, Cam ;D
will report back what I get ;)
have ordered mine wonder what we all get hope it is good
Anyone got their surprise package yet, I haven't. :( :( :( :(
Nope ;D
not got mine yet :(
no not yet, still waiting for my surprise.
Money taken from CC.
They said mid-end april when i placed my order :)
Nearly time then, I can't wait for something nice in the post, rather than bills. Let's hope it is a nice surprise. Will be interesting to see if we all get the same.
Had an email from them this morning to say that mine's been dispatched first class and to expect it within the next five days :) Will let you know when it arrives.
I've got mine, Kev if you want to pop round can give you some seeds for your shop, or yourself, have loads of goodies, will list later when I get over the excitment.
I got:
Gloves (which I do need)
6 Petunia plugs
6 Fuchsia plugs
5 pots. (vales emerald)
1 Paeonia haihuang
Seeds (retail price £2.99 rrp)
3 cabbage (walking stick)
3 Greek Oregano
4 Brussel sprout (Falstaff)
4 Parsnip (The Student)
3 tom (Moneymaker)
3 tom (Gardeners Delight)
10 Green plastic bags (Asparagus/strawberry planters)
1 Pot bag.
Now I feel sick with excitement.
I got exactly the same ;D
they must've had quite a stock ;D
i also got exactly the same,very pleased :),got far more than anticipated,
just need some more strawberry plants,
would these pouches be any good for toms as well?
Yep got the same :) I think for £10 its good value :)
Yep, well pleased, have planted the fushias and petunias up and put in my lean to for now, and well give some seeds to allotment people. Love the pot. bag and the strawberry planters, but don't need ten, come on Kev, a present for looking after your children. Have got granddaughter her today as Mum not well, not feeling too good with tooth. Tomorrow or Friday, allotment and everything should have grown in two days without me keep poking it about. Thank you to whoever suggested it, better than buying lottery tickets. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
i received
6 petunias
6 fuchsias
5 pots i pot bag
6 plastic container bags for veg
pair gloves
35 pkts seeds :o :o to share with my friends
sprouts
toms money maker
toms gardeners delight
onions
parsnips
herbs
1 pkt carrot.
1 peony
i only ordered 15 surfinas last week wish i had known
& 10 fuchsias both from T & M, still i can always find room for them if it stands still it gets planted up ;D ;D ;D.
I think that it is good value for £10 but not sure what I would have said if I had paid £100.
No carrots or onions here but I have walking stick cabbage. Might grow one, then hopefully I will not need a walking stick. Not sure why they think anyone would want 3 or 4 packets of the same thing though.
Peony looks good.
Opppps, must change my list it was 5 petunias & 5 fuchsias not 6,trying to write it down from memory as you can see memory not very active today. Also the bags i thought were for veg are those you hang on the fence or hanging bracket full of flowers, or fruit i suppose.
no cabbage that everyone else got :'(, no really i am very pleased BUT would not have spent £100 on it all. ;D
You are more then welcome to a packet of walking stick cabbage, I think four or five seeds would be more then enough, certainly do not want three packets.
this would explain that when i ordered the potato planter and some offer mini fruit trees why i received a pkt of all the above seeds too foc, they must have shed loads,
i was going to put the walking stick cabbage ones up for grabs but sounds like the place will be flooded with them :(
Digeroo, yes i would appreciate that Thank you very much.
Rosebud ;D
Just received my bumper pack from van meuwan, the same as borlotti, well impressed with it all, not bad for £10.00, i have used van meuwan for years and have never been disapointed with anything they sent me, had lovely hanging baskets last year from thier petunia offers. Can i save thier seeds they sent me to next year? :D

all the packs of seed i received said sow by 2012,so i presume that yours would be the same :)
Planted pots. in the big bag, gave one small bag away, still got nine left. Any ideas what to plant, one for strawberries, one for toms, maybe flowers, if I hang them all on the garden wall will the wall fall down. Would love to see pictures of ideas of what other people have done with theirs. Don't allowed out today as OH repairing walls in garden and am on tea duty, but may pop out later to water the allotment. Thought one of the seed packets was empty, but hadn't got my glasses on. Don't too sure about planting the walking stick.

Hi Borlotti,
Yes i am planning 2 tomatos in each bag with a basil plant in the top, sowing tomato seeds this weekend idea was 2 of the same variety in each bag. My back fence is in need of some support for climbers so i am going to be threading some twine between a bar at the top and bottom of the fence panel and was going to make a hoop and mount the pouch on the top of each fence panel and support it around the bottom of the pouch as well and hope thats enough for the weight. Soil mix was going to be 1 part garden soil 3 parts compost and mix in chopped comfry leaves and a bit of vermiculite :)
