You got some good deals! My Walmart carries the ‘Bonnie’ plants and the price has really gone UP this season. No Shisito Peppers this year. :(
Also, a new vendor ‘Taylor Farms’ is selling there. They have plants that are further along and in bigger pots (6” it looked like) but they’re asking $6 and up for those!
No one seems to be buying them; I’m in there once a week.
And potting soil! Ugh! Over $8 for a 1 cf bag of Miracle Grow. My greenhouse grown fall-into-winter greens just got a price bump!
Scalping. How can DIRT cost so much more? How can plants?
Glad I start so much of my own.
*RANT OVER*
A local nursery here in East Tennessee sells 2.8 cu ft bags of Pro-Mix (loose fill) for $14. Not bad compared to everyone else...
I hear ya. I bought some raised bed mix. $12/bag. For the price of 4-5 bags, I could get a yard of compost(30 bags?) put in the back of my truck and mix it 50/50 with my soil, a la Sq Ft Gardening version 1 method. Really long drive though.
