Just out of interest, is everybody talking about Dobbies, or Dobies

There's Dobbies garden centres and online site, owned by Tesco, and there's Dobies Seeds. Two totally separate companies

Anyway, the two plants were both bought from Dobbies and marked up as butternut. squash. But there's a bit of a pattern brewing as my dad's marrow plants, again bought from Dobbies turned out to be courgette. And the tomato plants I bought from Dobbies have been very poor, vs plants brought on from seed/from other garden centres yet kept in the same condition (and the same variety).

My Italics

The plants were bought over the counter and compared with other garden centres, so we must be talking about Dobbies, as per the topic title

I bought a pack of 18 rasberry canes in winter, out of the 18, only 6 survived, all kept in the same conditions, all watered and fed, just very poor plants

I am amazed that the Tesco owned Dobbies have been allowed to use that name. Not to be confused with the well established and well thought of Dobies Seeds. one B.

Does no one sow their own seeds, I have sown all mine and I have no complaints about any of the produce, so the simple answer is grow your own don't buy them in.
