Pinetree Seeds and Burpee's.

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. :-)

Easy moron. Not all HD stores are the same.

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!!!!

We have a contest around here to see if Home Depot or Wal-Mart can get
the most ideots working with the plants. Plus they don't pay any
attention to what area plants should be sent to. You are better off
going to a good greenhouse in your area.

Here, they can't seem to hire anyone who notices that six-packs dry out in
about 23 on a warm day. The plants look like crap within 2 weeks of being
put on display.

Both good choices, George. I also like Territorial, Johnny's, and Nichol's
Garden Nursery. Three years ago I placed a large order with Gurney's, and
they botched it up so badly that I have sworn to never buy from them again.

Bill

I've got a couple of seedsmen on my blacklist. Gurney's is just one of
them. Pinetree and Burpee's have never screwed up an order of mine,
neither has Johnny's, haven't ordered from the others. Thanks for the
advice though. We've downsized our gardens of late, only plant about
half what we used too, except for hot chiles. Gotta make that hot sauce
you know.

Here in Maryland the HD workers don't have time to worry about dried up
plants. It is a shame, they work those people like slaves.

There should an ASPCP - for prevention of cruelty to plants.

How true that is.

Its really shameful how they force their employees to work in chains.

If it wasn't for the occasional rain, the plants would never get watered.
