Wal mart cutting back on seeds.
"The Ranger" wrote in message . "But that's all that's available to me" is usually the follow-up whine. If the OP buys junk, especially CHEAP junk, you shouldn't expect much beyond CHEAP or JUNK. I am learning this too. My habit has been to get the unusual heirloom seeds from organic earth-friendly companies online, and the "basics" from local department stores. Now it is getting to the point where I think I may as well shell out a couple extra bucks to get the basics of peas, corn, carrots, herbs, etc. from the same companies from which I buy the more exotic seeds. It costs me more, but I am helping the right people with my money, and might have better results in the long run too. --S. |

I proved to one of my BILs (a founding member of "I got it cheap; so what if I have to buy ten of 'em") the silliness of buying from Walmart. So my one costs slightly more than his two or three of the same thing; mine don't fall apart or break within the first week of use, I'm not wasting time and money running back to "exchange" it for more useless crap, and I don't have to fight the mass of humanity that invades that acid-induced, Rorschach-inspired parking lot every weekend. Right now, my two Brandywine plants are putting out HUGE branches and leaves, my jalapenos are a vibrant green, and my Japanese eggplants are overtaking the trellis (courtesy of Yamagami's Nursery). I'm happy. The Ranger |
