Don't buy from Gurneys
"higgledy" wrote in message oups.com... Well, they charge the same prices as does my local Homoe Depot. So why pay for shipping? That is crazy Variety, maybe. And, a month from now, the Home Depot morons will be doing everything they can to murder their nursery stock. :-) |

You tell 'em, Moroni.
Some HD managers are worse than the others. Don't get you hopes up expecting any of them giving a damn about some silly plants. They're in the hardware business not florists. They get their gardening experts straight out of high school!!!! "KCnRichmond" wrote in message news Easy moron. Not all HD stores are the same. "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ...

"Cereus-validus-..........." wrote in message om... You tell 'em, Moroni. Some HD managers are worse than the others. Don't get you hopes up expecting any of them giving a damn about some silly plants. They're in the hardware business not florists. They get their gardening experts straight out of high school!!!! well I didn't work for the orange box, but I worked for Lowes knows how to aggrivate their employees and I resemble that remark! Only with me, they got a high school educated, life and road educated old middle aged master gardener who cared about the plants and the customers. And you're right, C. they're in the hardware business, but they also take their gardening center's fairly serious. It's about to be the "100 days of madness", I always tell people that the only thing they need look for is diseased and insects, and unless they need landscaping trees or shrubs, to avoid the perennials now since they're so over grown and root bound. I HATE how they have convinced the nurseries that grow the stock that the bigger the plant the better. Give me a small plant that has been bumped up for three years and has ample soil and not all packed fulla roots and I'll purchase it quickly. The diversity doesn't count if the roots are the shape of the freaking pots........I'm starting to be more than fed up with the practices of nurseries and such. and today I'm just fed up with the govn't and corn industry. I gotta stop reading Grist......it's depressing the hell outa me.....I'll be posting an update on the doings in Fairy Holler soon. pardon my ranting and mumblings. madgardener |

madgardener: Lowe's nursery stock so expensive compared to HD.
Although I try to frequent small, local nurseries rather than the big boxes, especially for shrubs and tress. Annuals I do hit the big boxes. The best is to ask which days the trucks deliver and stop by that evening after work. |
