WOW! That is about 5 times bigger than the one I found! BOO HOOING all the way to my corner! LOL

(Zone 7a)

Lowe's $35.00. Run. There were only two left at ours, maybe yours has some.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

OMG, gotta call DH and have him go look!

(Zone 7a)

Garden Treasures is the brand.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Ok, thanks! But I can't get him to answer his phone! He's out playing with his Harley! :)
I know, he can't haul it on there, but he can have them sit it back for me at least. :)

(Zone 7a)

Men and their toys. He could balance the box on the handlebars like I see some guys do.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

ROFLMAO!

St. Louis County, MO(Zone 5a)

I just called our Lowe's, they said 34.99 is the regular price, and they have 2 in stock. I may just have to mosey over there tomorrow.

Could this be used for winter sowing?

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

I just called ours and they said they don't have ANY GH's in stock! Well, I looked at their web site and it showed that they have some of the larger ones at ours, so who knows!

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Doggone it, he just came home, so I missed out! LOL He may be able to build me one, though. :)

Fountaintown, IN(Zone 5b)

The landscaping at our bank includes many, many clumps of a frilly peach-colored daylily that has bloomed all summer, and has now been hit by a killing frost.

Numerous times, I have considered an after dark raid to get a few starts of this daylily; but I don't want to be arrested...for bank robbery!

That I continue to covet this plant, I think I might be considred to be an avid grdener.

To be continued...

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

LOL! If you decide to do the "robbery" let me know, I will be your accomplice! HE HE

(Zone 7a)

Yes, I think you qualify! LOL

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

LMAO!

St. Louis County, MO(Zone 5a)

Make sure you get enough for everyone so we don't squeal.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

I can see it now-"The Robbery Swap Meet"!

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Here is a pic of my mini GH that still has my beautiful annuals going strong!

Mine will look like that soon.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Only bad thing about this one is I had to make the braces for the shelving.

(Zone 7a)

Oh. You did a good job.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Thanks! I want one like yours, too! LOL He is gonna look at Lowe's for me, cause the guy I talked to prob didn't know what he was talking about, as always!

(Zone 7a)

Excellent idea because the guy I talked to said they were out. I should have told you that first. I walked right past him with it in my hands and he just looked at me confused.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

I am not the least bit surprised, cause they have so many in our Lawn and Garden that won't even bother to check on it for you, and if you ask them to, they just lay the phone down and ACT like they did and still yet tell you no! And I think most are a "bit confused"! LOL

(Zone 7a)

It wasn't funny either because I was POed by the time I left. Here I am limping carrying this box and trying to find an open register. Walk past the Customer Service counter and two girls are busy at their computers. Okay, don't want to bother them as they LOOK busy. Go down the line to two open ones with their lights on and BING! the lights go out. Sorry, we're not open. Okay, what IS open? Self check-out and Customer Service. Can't use self check-out 'cuz I have a gift card and have to pay for the rest with my regular card. Can you help me carry this box, at least? I ask as I turn back to them after looking away for a moment. WHAT? They're both invisible now or have teleported away because I never saw them leave. Haul the box back to CS... Can one of you ring me up, please? Nope, they're both still busy. So NOW I'm mad. Drop the box on the floor and say One of you better because I'm not dragging this box all the way to the managers office! THAT got their attention. RINGRINGsosorryhaveaniceday...I will now that I've got what I want no thanks to you nice people.

There now that's off my chest. WHEW!

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

WOW! Sorry that you had such a bad experience, but I have to say that I am NOT surprised! Although, I have to admit there are certain ones that I do know are helpful at ours, but they are few and far between. I bet you DID get their attention about the managers office! LOL
BUT, now that you got it home, aren't you glad you went through the trouble to get it? LOL

(Zone 7a)

I am happy now. It's the ONLY bad experience I've had there so I'm not letting it color my attitude about them.

(Zone 7a)

We seem to have highjacked this thread. SORRY!

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

NAH, I am sure other's don't mind. I am so tickled, I just got another set of seeds in the mail! I now have some BRUGS of my own! WEEEEEEHAAAAAAA Amongst many other's. This is my second set of seeds in two days, I am just sooooooooooooo happy! LOL
Thanks to all you wonderful people out there that help out us newbies!
By the way, Honey looked at Lowe's and they didn't have any. :(

(Zone 7a)

I'm sorry. I made you feel sad. I need some brugs now cuz I've been looking at the photos in the PlantFiles and they're just beautiful. Do you know what colors you have?

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

No you didn't, cause if I can't find one, or he can't rather, he will make me one! LOL
Awe, I just noticed one of the packages and one of them is name after my granny!
I just checked, both packages are white, but the seeds seem to differ? All I know about brugs is that I just absolutely love them, and I don't think I will ever have too many! HAHAHA
Am I addicted, NO! LOL

(Zone 7a)

Does it count into being an avid gardener in you've just spent all day TALKING about it and not actually DOING it?

St. Louis County, MO(Zone 5a)

Sure kwanjin, that is what winter is for.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

LMAO! That is a good question cause I was wondering the same thing earlier!
I am going to have the most beautiful garden our small city of 3,700 has ever seen next spring!

(Zone 7a)

I guess I did do something. I got the greenhouse and put it together.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Are you considered an avid gardener if: you keep watching for your mail person to see if you are gonna get new seeds delivered in the mail today? LOL
OOPS, we actually have 3,407, sorry!

(Zone 7a)

You are going to share pics, right?
