I can empathize with the vet visits. Our last trip involved a cat in a carrier who screamed the whole time.

But once I was back online my order went through and was delivered within 10 working days.

A shame that Kings are dragging their heels with your group order. I imagine that you are aware that other seed companies offer similar discounts to allotment societies, garden clubs etc. I can't remember which one our allotment society used but it worked well.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-15398469528529272912021-02-22T18:48:58.798+00:002021-02-22T18:48:58.798+00:00Aah, so nice to see the flashes of colour that Spr...Aah, so nice to see the flashes of colour that Spring bulbs provide.<br />I really must eat my dinner before viewing all those tasty meals!!Belinda Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019296108085163049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-87823295171688636092021-02-22T16:17:36.536+00:002021-02-22T16:17:36.536+00:00The crocuses opened for a short time yesterday too...The crocuses opened for a short time yesterday too, Jo. I've emailed the Managing Director of Kings and had a read receipt so at least I know my message has got through. I've also done reviews on their website and Trustpilot and placed a comment on their Facebook page.

I'm sure you're crocuses will have opened up today, I can't believe how sunny and warm it is, the sunshine wasn't in the forecast. I can't see what the hold up is with Kings, other seed suppliers haven't got these same issues, what terrible service.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-28300019229302349562021-02-22T15:34:56.381+00:002021-02-22T15:34:56.381+00:00We had four days of hatches battened again, and mo...We had four days of hatches battened again, and more of the same from tonight through to Wednesday. My garden waste bin is full and not due for collection until March 11!!! Your experience with Kings is not good, and I hope it will be sorted out soon, and maybe free seeds? Well, you can hope. Happy to hear Ruby had had her stitches removed, but she's obviously learned V E T already!Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.com
