It's that time of the year folks. My nursery is selling vegetable
garden
plants at half price. I'm sure they aren't the only ones. Got me a
nice
habanero in a 4" pot for $1.25. Not bad for over priced Sonoma
County.

Even Home Despot has some nice deals. Here, someone made a horrible
mistake
and actually took good care of some of the plants. They've probably
been
fired.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Why firing... it's smart to discount plants that will probably die if
not purchased... likely there's not enough growing season remaining to
produce peppers anyway.


Fired for breaking with the Home Despot tradition of mistreating plants.
Most of their plants look awful right now, except for a few which seem to
have been overlooked for abuse.

Rochester's interesting. I'm in a narrow area along Lake Ontario, whose
planting season is about as long as in seaside NJ, CT and Long Island. I was
picking peppers in early November last year. 30 minutes south of here, they
get frost a month earlier and a month later. Probably more like your area.
