Walked into Walmart last night and just inside found a $1.00




bin full of Daffodils, Crocus and Tulips. Packages of 9 and




18. I am not sure where I am gong to plant them as I planted




48 Daffodils earlier this week. I just could not pass them




up. Any other fall finds out there?








so far just several cases of canning jars for free.








i avoid buying these types of plants/bulbs as they




often are not stored in anything even close to decent




conditions. examining them often finds dried or damaged




bulbs. some may grow out ok, but those that are dried




up too much won't do much other than be a source of




organic material for the soil critters.








if your ground doesn't freeze deeply you should be ok




planting winter bulbs up until the end of December (but for




best growth it is better to plant them earlier).

Even at that I had to buy those poor little things for a dollar.

The ground here doesn't freeze here until January and then barely. I will
get them in soon


Err...I respect your empathy for "those poor little things" and I hope they
bloom up a storm come Spring.

But I don't buy in Walmart because of their horrible reputation about
treating personnel like s**t. I guess I'll just keeping buying at the nabe
nursery where they know their *** from their elbow.

Our on again, off again lib-er-al seems to have it right this time.

The global retailer is a "net job destroyer" when it arrives in
communities.

"One of the tactics of Wal-Mart is to suck jobs out of a community. For
every job gained, 1.4 jobs are lost."
