And I thought I was the only one who had problems with their seeds - I've
stopped buying them. I use their catalogue for ideas then look elsewhere
for a source of whatever seeds I want, usually to Chiltern Seeds.
Last year I wanted to grow Cerinthe Major Purpurascens. I can't remember
why, but I bought two packets of it, one of which was Thompson and Morgan.
I planted both sets of seeds in the same tray, using the directions from the
Thompson and Morgan packet. Every single one of the other companies packet
germinated, not a single one of T&Ms did.
