Leaving aside Chalet, Lurvy's, and Pesche's, which I have already
checked (and they do have some good deals), are there any great "end of
seasin" plant sales worth driving to that you know of? Up to 90 minute
drive from Chicago would be ok. Must have decent stock left to choose
from, and rock bottom clearance prices! Thanks.



Ask barb...I think she said she gets most of her stuff from those planters
on Michigan Avenue...

;-p



hardee harr har.

oh, hey, who knows of any Japanese maples around town that have got seed
pods on them? I want to try my hand at growing some from seed.


that's gonna take a long time. Yer what 50+? You'll be into getting SS
checks by the time it's 4 feet tall.

Just drop the 100 bucks and get a six foot one already pruned.
