I was at a Wal-Mart last month and they had plants much reduced to clear them out.
I found a pathetic looking rhododendron for $4 and took it home.
That thing has thrived like no other nursery plant I have bought yet. Within a couple of weeks, it more than doubled in size. My little $4 Wal-Mart plant.
You just never know.
I bought a 4.00 phalaenopsis orchid at Walmart this spring. New growth on two stalks.
Red Kuri squash that decided to grow on a vine that was scooting around in my wall of pole beans!


It was about 6 feet off the ground so I am giving it some additional support until the skin has hardened and I can safely pick it!
I grew most tomatoes from seed but did grab four plants from Lowes that were on sale. Regular price was $7.99 per plant but they put all the runts on a table 4 for $12. They’re later than my seed grown but doing fine and all have green fruit on them now. Early Girl, Cherokee Purple, Brandywine and Black Cherry.
