Home Depot is a terrible bargain. *Every Spring I have 4 or 5 places I go

More and more Heirloom "flea market" style places are cropping up. I
usually get all my annual bedding flowers (marigolds for the tomato
patch, clumps for the rain gutter herb garden, etc) there. Six packs
for about a dollar, many less than that. And a whole lot of hippies,
hillbillies, and weirdos from the hollers who have tons of practical
advice for local growing.
(and at Baker Creek, lots of great music)
