With the instructions on the boxes as to planting and such, I wonder
just how many folks bought these pre planted items and have failed to
get any to grow, and just chalked it up to things gone wrong, and
thrown the stuff away thinking they were at fault when in all reality
there was nothing in there in the first place.

** This sort of thing should be reported to the BBB and the Dept. of Ag.
Think of how many stores had these empty packages and how many people were
ripped off.

I'm with you from now
on, I have to see exactly what I am getting anymore....no more "pigs
in a poke for me" .

** That's exactly what any plant material is if you can't SEE it. I was
trying to purchase some daffodil bulbs a few years ago. All were slimy and
foul smelling when I pulled the clear bag out of the carton. They were
obviously diseased or had been soaked in water somewhere along he line from
Europe, and were rotting away.
