The large garden center vendors such as Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Target, etc., should only be used for:
Soil -- both bedding and potting ok
Manure ok
Mulch ok
Pots, baskets, etc. ok
Soil amendments such as Vermiculite, Perlite, Peat, etc. ok
Fertilizer ok
Whenever possible, they should not be used as a source for plants.
It is imperative to support favorite local nurseries. It is the greatest joy, besides eating, to explore new sources of plants that I might incorporate into my terrrace garden.
Craigslist is a source of ads from "backyard" nurseries. As I reported on Sunday, one unnamed nursery in Davie yielded some great deals on the orange and coral bougainvillea as well as the white plumeria.
It got down into the low 50's for the past 2 nights. Chilly.
