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/ |

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. |

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. this is the type of garden wagon I was talking about: http://tractorsupply.com/detail.asp?...=1&produ ctID Looks like a heck of a good deal to me! I wouldn't have passed it up! Cheryl That's what I thought.........I'll find some uses for it yet! I have a cart similar to that, probably from the same factory in China... If you haven't already found out they are HEAVY and for some people here may be a bit much to pull around even empty. That being said I really like mine but I walk ~10 miles a day just for exercise :) Make sure you check the pressure in the tires and keep an eye on it. They tend to slowly leak and then it is even harder to pull around. Mine came from Menards for ~$50 on sale several years ago. I think you got a good deal too, especially from TSC. I rarely find any "deals" there since they bought out Farm & Fleet several years ago. Though there stock on hand is much better now and I do buy things there that I can't find somewhere else (shrug). -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |

My sis has one that has the tire problem you described. Every now and then TSC has some pretty good deals. It helps when you have friends there to let you know what is on sale and when! Used to buy the All-Stock feed from there, but that has become way over-priced. When the local store opened, All-Stock costed $4.78, currently the price is over 7 for it. Started getting elsewhere now. Oh well............. |

Some of the better steel stem caps have the little tool built into the end of them too. That may slow the leaking down some. I haven't checked mine out too seriously but I think my bicycle tires hold air longer in between pump-ups :) -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |

The newest Little Guy is doing great. Dad and Mom are doing very well with their Biggest Responsibility. Much better than I expected, for First-Timers. But of course I have had him in the garden. :-) He stayed for a few hours the other day, his first time here ALONE. I gave him my first bottle, in the garden, with music playing. Just the two of us. One of those bonding things. (Relax, those of you who are interested in such things, it was a bottle of mom's milk, not formula). Elder Grandson has only minimal issues with Young Cousin. We were concerned about this, as he has had four years of being centerstage. He took everyone to task and ran the required tests, which everyone has passed. He is now the self-appointed teacher of all things Book and Toy. We are pleased. It is good. Have a great day, Rae. Opa Charlie That is just so sweet! Cheryl Funny how things go, Cheryl. I awakened at dawn and felt really great today (rather unusual, both the awakeing that early and the feeling great). Made coffee and went to the garden and put on a New Song, which set the whole tone for the day. Went and checked my spam filter and discovered a caught msg that followed the tone set by the music. Replied to that and felt even better. Then found Rae's msg. and that was a pleasure to answer. Man, some days are just destined to be wonderful! Let me share the lyrics for the song, it blew me away. You may have gathered that music is one of my Important Things. :-) Tolerance. Michael Franti A child is born, and a mamma's torn About the life that it's bound to live A sun and moon and a modest home Is all they ask the Lord to give But politics and big events they never seem to notice the little guy So make a plan or simply hold a hand but don't ever be a passer by Tolerance or violence and the whole world goes to war Is one enough or is one too many Before we say, "No More" Could you ever love a pot of gold? Could you ever love another lonely soul? Could you ever find a love that was oceans wide? Could you ever find love in another stranger's eyes? Oh, give a little, Tolerance, tolerance We need you more and more So lend a hand or simply hold a friend That’s in need of a life support Draw a picture, share a whisper Anyway that you can rise above And when the end is near who is gonna volunteer To be the last one to die for love ------------------------- May your day be filled with good things Charlie Wow, and not an advertisement anywhere. -- Billy http://angryarab.blogspot.com/ |
