P often says I leave out the critical word in a sentence. Usually the one that explains what I'm talking about.

Have you ordered from Chris Bowers before? I've always liked their offerings but the reviews of their service can be...interesting.

I've not ordered from Roots or Chris Bowers before, not in the last 20 years anyway. I don't buy many perennial plants either online or at garden centres. I thought Chris Bowers were quite well respected in the fruit world but then again so is T&M among non gardeners nuff said.
