Walmart Find
Walked into Walmart last night and just inside found a $1.00 bin full of Daffodils, Crocus and Tulips. Packages of 9 and 18. I am not sure where I am gong to plant them as I planted 48 Daffodils earlier this week. I just could not pass them up. Any other fall finds out there?

Any other fall finds out there? so far just several cases of canning jars for free. i avoid buying these types of plants/bulbs as they often are not stored in anything even close to decent conditions. examining them often finds dried or damaged bulbs. some may grow out ok, but those that are dried up too much won't do much other than be a source of organic material for the soil critters. if your ground doesn't freeze deeply you should be ok planting winter bulbs up until the end of December (but for best growth it is better to plant them earlier). songbird |

But I don't buy in Walmart because of their horrible reputation about treating personnel like s**t. I guess I'll just keeping buying at the nabe nursery where they know their *** from their elbow.
