I noticed the plants at our Walmart and Lowe's come from various growers and suppliers according to their stickers. Although at both places, all of their pots of starter veggies and herbs are from the same source. And the prices of them are set by that supplier apparently because they are the same at both stores. At least the suppliers all appear to be in the USA. I suspect as gas gets more expensive, they will need to rely on local, or at least nearby, growers more and more. Not a bad thing in that respect.
Hey, some in Tennessee even want to print our own currency.
Dirt poor ... good one!
