Someone needs to tell Home Depot that no one needs bedding plants in Wisconsin in early April.
Local stores are just getting around to setting up bedding plant displays while Home Depot is putting their (dying, frostbitten) plants on closeout. (That was my experience last year.)

I drove past HD today. They had BLOOMING LILIES for sale, fer Pete’s Sake! No wonder people are so confused about how to garden! But then, they come to me to set them straight. (I’m in The Biz.)
We are having a rough Spring season at our garden center; it’s either close to freezing, raining, or we have 45 MPH winds tearing through the yard. We’ve put packaged roses on sale already; I’m to get hundreds of potted ones in next week. *Rolleyes*
But there have been worse seasons. I understand that one of the Managers before me forgot to turn off the irrigation one evening when it dropped below freezing. There was 2” of ice covering every square inch of the yard, and all of the plants, trees and shrubs.
On Mother’s Day Weekend, no less, LOL!
