I feel like some of her prices (yes, 2017) are low...no idea where you can get 40 onion sets for under $2 - really under $4. As for buying one seed for a cucumber plant, also not happening. I find you can still do very well with plants (at my store anyway) for gardening tomatoes and peppers, even lettuce. Last year I was aghast to see Lowe’s charging $4 for a pot with 2 lettuce in it. Who fell for that? We have all our own food (means, fruits, veg) and spend our money on wine, crap at the super and also really good stuff grown locally (flour)This morning, one son and I agreed we might be going back to growing beans for drying this year. Happy gardening Freepers!

LOL! I constantly point those things out to Beau when we’re out and about. But, the market is there, believe me! I have 18 years ‘in the biz’ and when Spring Fever strikes, people will buy just about anything that isn’t nailed down - and sometimes things that are, LOL!
