Say bye bye to Ty Ty Nursery
Comments (76)DO NOT SHOP HERE. Worst experience I have ever had with a nursery (and I have dealt with many of them). I ordered two bare root trees.. Several weeks later, one tree showed up completely leafed out with the leaves all dead. I placed it in water 30 min after it was on my porch and 5 hours later the leaves were all still obviously done. The second tree had a huge major crack in the main root. I sent the same attached pics to TyTy asking for a refund, and got a generic reply that because of covid 19 they where not responding to emails. I called two times and was put on hold for 20 min each time and never reached a live person. When I finally did talk to someone I was told they would need to discuss this with a manager. Later that day I was told that the crack in the root would likely eventually heal if planted, and the tree with the dead leaves had been potted before it was shipped, and it likely still alive and would shoot some new leaves if planted. That tree was not potted and it was dried out. I did not order struggling / damaged plants that were already going to go through transplant shock and might have a chance to survive. This is tree planting 101 and I have been treated horribly. I still have not received a refund, or offer or credit or replacement trees....See MoreBYE BYE PICKERING !!!
Comments (10)Writer & Nancy, thanks ! Was originally just thinking how amazing it was that only 22 hrs after the ad was posted, the tree WAS GONE ! And there was no fruit left on the tree, last were all picked a couple of days ago. Also, no gaping hole, a smooth lawn, just some raked up soil, ( using his own rake !!! ) ..nothing for me to do,..nada ! What pleased me most however, was the new owners enthusiasm when he called back, relating how well the tree has responded. He obviously knows his trees but here I was trying to thank him, but could hardly get a word in over the phone as he was so happy ! I also, of course, hope the tree survives, but am now feeling confident it will ! A knowledgeable and energetic new owner. He even asked if I decided to get rid of another mango tree ( he had numerous fruit trees growing, but no mango's till today ) - to please call him first. That won't happen tho,..I hope ! ( smile )...See MoreFall back, bye bye 1 hour
Comments (35)I don't get why people get so worked up over it. Sheesh. Aren't there a lot better things to stress you out? Disclaimer: I have mostly atomic clocks so very little resetting around here. I don't have a structured life, having to report somewhere at a certain time. I sleep when I want and do things when I want. The only, albeit slight impact on me is store hours but an hour give or take is petty in my life. And I'll say that when I was working semi-normal to normal hours I really enjoyed having the sun in the afternoon. When I'd work nights, it was nice to have the sun up "earlier". Seems to me the ones who go craziest over it are the ones impacted the least! My dad used to get so worked up over DST. He'd be screaming "YOU CAN CHANGE THE CLOCK BUT YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE SUN!" Uh yeah, don't you get it? You CAN'T change the sun, so you change the clock. In today's popular vernacular, "DUH!" And ironically, he seemed to always enjoy having daylight when he'd be driving home from work. My estimate is 90% of people who grouse about DST are hobbyists. They make a hobby out of complaining! Nothing FORCES you to change your clocks. Go by your own time. I'm on CST (Cynic Saving Time) year round. I don't get worked up over it. Saves me stress and provides entertainment watching people making mountains from the proverbial molehills....See MoreBye-Bye Figs and Pomegranates, again
Comments (15)I am in Chesapeake - near the coast in southeastern VA. Brutal winter this year. A good 8" of snow last week and temps in the 20's and below. I have two well-established pomegranate 'trees' in my front landscape. Both have fruited for the past few years - and I've seen others in the area that also seem to do very well. I'm just praying that this cold weather doesn't get to them. My varieties are 'Wonderful' and I believe that the second and more successful of the two is either 'Grenada' (but might possibly be Angel Red or Red Silk) It appears to have been mislabeled, which is a shame, because it is thriving and produces great fruit. This fall I received some new plants, which I will plant in the ground in Spring. Varieties are: Afganski / Salalvatski / Kai-Acik-Anor / Nikitski-Ranni / Golden Globe / Agat / Bala Miursal / Hotuni Zigar / Phoenicia / and Purple Heart Growing Pomegranates is a bit of a hobby for me. I love to eat them fresh! There are so many 'new' varieties available, to us, now . . . it's hard to resist trying to grown some of them! Does anyone else have any recommendations - successful varieties and where to find them?...See Morejpc57
