Default Has anybody ever "rescued" a plant?

I think that most gardeners find the "Casualty corner" of garden centres and
nurseries.
I picked up 10 plants last week 3 with at least 50% off and the other 7 with
75% off, all doing well, and 2 Ajuga "Artic Fox" have now given me 15 young
plants as well as still having 2 stock plants.
Then on Saturday I visited local floristry wholesaler and rescued 4 trays
(4x6) hostas and 3 trays Pieris with 15 plants (other 3 were Dead), all the
worse for lack of water and light........cost £10 the lot (that's $ 16 ).
All are sitting up and taking light refreshment, and should make a full
recovery for next year.
