Half Price Time
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. -- Billy http://angryarab.blogspot.com/ |

Here, someone made a horrible mistake and actually took good care of some of the plants. They've probably been fired. |

Gee, I hope you bought a wagon or two! Our local nurseries are pretty much sold out. They're all mom & pop businesses. We'd have to drive 100 miles to find a big box store. Jan |

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. same at the local tractor supply today........had some garden wagons marked down to 19.95, when the regular price was $59 plus (someone's probably gonna get in trouble for that one too) I don't think discounted wagons are in the same catagory as discounted late season annuals... the plants will bring zero revenue if unsold... the wagon can be offered for sale next year, but $19.95 is probalby all it's worth anyway and still some profit, the $59 was way inflated, as are all seasonal goods at the onset of the season. There are lots of deep discounts on summer goods in every catagory now; grills and lawn mowers gotta go to make room for snow blowers. It won't be much longer and all live nursery plants will be deeply discounted. Perennials, shrubs, and trees can be heeled in over winter but not annuals. |

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. |

You now have to buy them by the rack for $20.00. There can be any number of annuals and perennials on the 4 shelves. They were all in horrid condition as of last week. |
