Home Depot's Tomato Plants
Comments (38)I've bought decent transplants in Home Depot and Lowe's, with a few caveats ... I'd say the burden is definitely on the grower to know appropriate planting times. I live in zone 10a, with a winter growing season, but the big box stores stock tomatoes all year. Anyone who plants a tomato in April where I live is begging for a disaster. And the staff is no help.

It's the same as gift cards, anyway, as they can exchange things, right? But anyway, she should not include any information about the registry or gift preferences in the invitations. If you don't want to argue about it with her about it, just direct her to this site and let her see what people have had to say about sending out unsolicited registry info! There are several strings on the subject....See MoreWalmart Violets--heavy sigh

Comments (23)Ordering might be your best shot. If you've got a few extra dollars, ... take a look at Optimara outlet www.SelectiveGardener.com. There are some great plants being offered, they can send you plants in bloom, and the packing is superb. My only caveat is that I'd wait another month or so before ordering ... P.S.
