Yes. Have for several years; excellent selection of things we can't find here in the States (Marmande tomato, for exmple); catalogue is lovely & very helpful; have sugested to CJK that she order one; think she might enjoy it. Just out of curiosity, why did you ask?? Actually, re-reading your post, I don't order from T & M IN the UK, I order from T & M's Stateside branch here; the seeds are FROM the UK, but I don't actually e-mail an order over there. Am I clear??

Yes very clear, I was wondering if you ordered from the UK if it cost a lot in postage, but as you order from the US obviously not

Their seeds are very good. Do you order from any US seed producers??

Yes. I imagine the postage would be rather horrible! I have ordered from so many US seed companies over the years that I can't really remember all the names: Shepherd's Seeds was a favorite but they were taken over by some large congomerate & the catalogue just didn't seem to have the selection it used to have. I've pretty much settled on T & M; have always been satisfied.

Well Done with your seeds x

Looking good Emma.
Interested to hear about the lemon grass - is that 5' growth in one year and die back with the frost????? Wow!
My seeds are up quickly too. I wonder if it's because we're actually a bit later sowing, because of the awful weather, and the length of daylight is getting them moving? I think daylight hours is the most crucial factor in plant growth?

Emma, DMUS
Have you tried Pak Choi (maybe Bok Choi US?). Very quick growing and great in stir fry type cooking. Nice & compact, so doesn't take all your garden. I really like it, to grow and cook.

EmmaG · 24-03-2006, 06:13 PM

Never grown it before DM, but I have cooked with it, it is very versatile

dandysmom · 24-03-2006, 10:41 PM

Dinahsmum, think the 5 feet is probably in one year, as the T & M catalogue lists it as a half-hardy perennial, which means it can't tolerate frost. Makes sense when you think about it, as it comes, I think,from tropical or semi-tropical areas. Will Google this later...yes, I like Bok Choi!

Another update, so this has been a week, the only two have haven't come up yet are the mint, although one has got something sprouting in it and the other is one of the squash.
