I’m hitting the Walmart GC today, too. I’ll report back on any ‘Bonnie’ plant finds. This is getting to be a yearly tradition with us! :)
Rainy here, too. Looks like some sun MAYBE on Tuesday. Since we’ve had such a mild winter (finally!) all of the rain that’s been falling has been soaking right in and no flooding from backed up ice-damns, which is VERY much appreciated by all that live in the lowlands below us.
The Pecatonica River (The Most Crooked River in the World!) is usually flooded somewhere along the line, but she’s stayed within her crazy banks this season. :)
I’ve been out already and checked the two places, nothing. There was an early delivery week before last, one rack with an assortment. The shishitos sometimes come first. But nothing from Bonnie since, they have not brought anything to TSC yet. I did the Lowes, and Walmart runs 40 minutes away for a few years, they never get the shishitos. One year a few years back I ordered them from Bonnie. They advertise two plants for 17.99. But they really ship 4. So 4 for 17.99 is not bad, the Bonnie plants are 4.95 this year. I may have to do that.
6-packs of plants (veggies) have really gone up in price, it seems, except for Menards, who still has them @ $2.99 / pack less the 11% rebate (and often there are 2 plants in a section, that can be carefully separated). However, so far Menards’ selection here (mid-South) has been lousy: Not bad on tomatoes, a few lettuce and cabbage, some herbs, not much of anything else. I have yet to see a 6-pack of pepper plants. Luckily I have a few starts of sweet peppers from seed packs, and some of the seeds I saved from last year’s Thai Hots have sprouted and are doing well. One of the overwintered Thais looks pretty sad but is holding its own, the other is even starting to take off a bit. So, wifey will be happy.
I have to run to town tomorrow, so I’ll give Menards another shot...
Is anyone else selling 6-packs for $2.99?
