I've made my peace with the coco pots. They seem good for growing the stuff in their nursery. When I get them in my hands I strip them off immediately and pot up in gallon pots that I recycle (or sometimes right into the ground)

Clint, were your plants in bad shape?

I haven't received my order yet. I just hope they aren't dry like they were last year.

Since it's already getting so hot here I think I'll wait for the fall sale. Everything I got from them last fall is doing wonderful! Hope everyone enjoys their plants. I know Bluestone will make good on anything bad. They're great to work with.

Mine were dry and so was the order from Santa Rosa. I repot them right away and give diluted miracle grow. It will keep them from going into mail order shock. Thumbs up

My plants were quite moist when I got them. But for me it is just one shipping day.

I am such a good girl. I have not gone to Lowes or Home Depot yet this season. I almost fell off the wagon today but came to my senses at the last minute

I actually had to go to Lowes for peat today. Not a single plant called my name.
