     @astarsscreams @LostInCalifornia fuckers! I used the safe place notification on the website - which I got email confirmation of. And the guy delivered at 8:54pm and left it on the front door step. not behind the brown bin. AND it's not my plants, it's only the compost. so I have a giant (bigger than contents) OPEN cardboard box with 2x 20L of peat free compost blocking my front door.
     
     Great.
     
     the delivered notification says "front porch" I don't have a porch (and that means something different here than in US anyway, waaaaaay smaller)
     
     Plants seem to be in a different delivery for tuesday. argh.

     Now the Tuesday parcel says "out for delivery" don't know when yet, so whoever it is going to have to move what is still blocking my door from last night. I'm relieved my plants won't be stuck in a warehouse or van through the holiday weekend.

     @FeartnTired @astarsscreams @Brookryn Last time I ordered plants, the delivery guy put them in a locker 2 blocks away.

     My poor tomatoes.

     I ordered seeds this year. I'm running late with my gardening - still waiting for them to sprout, but it's going to be a long summer.

     @LostInCalifornia @FeartnTired I tend to plant a lot of pastels, but those are very pretty.

     @astarsscreams @LostInCalifornia and my Saturday plant delivery has just updated to 7-9pm tonight! I've added a note to say leave it behind the brown bin, as I'm not staying up for a stupid parcel I can't take indoors, too heavy, and soggy bottom.

     @FeartnTired @LostInCalifornia That sounds both nice and inconvenient.

     @astarsscreams Marigolds are better.

     @LostInCalifornia @astarsscreams I do agree, if you mean proper Calendula, and not the African marigolds beloved of the parks dept here.

     @FeartnTired @astarsscreams I plant heirloom Mexican marigolds, usually, ie, brought over by Spanish, evolved since.

     They're a complementary plant for veg, and they're pretty.

     Convince me I don’t need to buy more tulips to plant in the fall :( Because I really really want to.
