Well I looked in about 8 diferent stores this weekend for tomatoe
plant fertilizer stakes and not a store carried them. But I think I
remember seeing rose stakes......... By chance I was in a Lowes that
was about 60 miles froom home today and actually found those
pre-planted water garden flower assortments, that were properly
treated. Was kind of hard to pass up Water lillys that were marked
regularly for $11.95 andnow reduced to $5. something each, especially
when they were already leaved out and were doing fine. I was not sure
about the other plants like horsetail and bog bean etc as they had no
growth on them so I left them be,
