Lin I wonder if it is because you have a longer growing season. Plus you have to be a frequent visitor or be lucky to hit them at the right time. I explained I have so much building work going on year round I am constantly in the stores. I have been back for the last 4 days and there was nothing there but plants that were put there when I picked up my last plants for 1.00 that I did not want or anybody else want. They are sitting there dying. But they have been there for two weeks now.
I probably would not go every week just to plant shop but because I am there buying building supplies I go there to check out what is on sale. I have been there when they are just putting them out so many times I am getting first pick of the best.
It is the same thing with tiles. I have picked up marble tile for projects in my houses that were Reg 22.00 a tile for 1.00 a tile. I was able to upgrade one of the homes with marble back splash for less than ceramic back splash.
