    The W/M here have strawberries in smaller pots for $2, so I got some of those...with blossoms already! :) Also $3.33 for single 'mater plants...HOWEVER...they were selling ...ummm..."rejects" for $1.67 (4 packs with double plants in 1 section & none in the 4th, etc) so I scooped some up...

    Starter Seedling Prices

    Yup. Just like everything else at the supermarket - they try to hide inflation by decreasing the size of the package. :tongue

    Starter Seedling Prices

    I had to break down & buy some red leaf lettuce from Walley World, as I couldn't find seeds anywhere around here. $1.65 for a 4-pack. I might have to buy 'maters & peppers, too...my seeds failed miserably! :(

    Are potato plants frost hardy?

    AmyRey, you are reading my mind ;)...I have 4 tater plants up, & noticed some have dark brown (kinda scorched-looking) leaves, & wondered if the frost got 'em...their container is right next to the lettuce bed, so they got partially covered by a sheet the last time it got cold...:/

    New Gardener- HELP - re: Seed Starting

    Wow, I'm sorry you had such poor results after all that hard work. :( My plan also was to start everything from seed this year, either directly or starting inside with peat pots & seed starter. Of those in the pots, the cukes did the best. The broc came up but are spindly. The 'maters & peppers...

    Fruit trees from Big Lots

    :pop BIL/SIL have bought trees from Big Lots before that did really well, but like you, they were ornamental, not fruit. I bought my pear tree at 1/2 price from Home Depot (so, like $15, I think) because it was the end of the season...but, depending on where you are, you may not want to wait...
