sheryl said: I've also found that some plants just plain do better if they're started in your garden young. Bigger plants look nice, but if they've acclimated to somewhere else, well.....


That is such a good point!! I knew plants adjust to certain conditions over the years but I didn't realize they might be adjusted to someone else's conditions before I get them. Thumbs up
Another good reason to buy local whenever we can, the plants are already adjusted to our climate! Big Grin

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
