Different to me anyway.
I have a friend who buys plug plants quite regularly, whilst I have generally grown from seed (except for onion and garlic sets). Recently though I was looking in the
Organic Gardening Catalogue and saw under Autumn Sowing and Planting, some collections of plug plants and decided to give them a go, so I decided to follow Roger's example.
The supplier for the Organic Gardening Catalogue turned out to be
Rocket Gardens. I found everything very well packaged and the plants, when revealed, were good and healthy and clear growing advice was provided.
(By the way, I decided to post about this for interest, I haven't been approached by The Organic Catalogue, nor by Rocket Gardens, this is just me, and not any kind of advertisement).
I kept some photographs through the process and here they are.

Most plants in beds. Salads went mainly into greenhouse.

That was a few days less than a month ago, and now they are all growing quite healthily (except for some of the lettuce leaves which we have already enjoyed eating).
