If it ever stops raining...

then I'll weed and take pictures and plant the creeping phlox that I bought yesterday at Kroger for fifty cents! I really didn't need any more creeping phlox, but c'mon, fifty cents! I couldn't pass it up! I also noticed that Home Depot has spring bulbs on sale for 50% off. I'm keeping my eye on them, if they go down to 75% off, I'm buying them out! Also, great deals on the discount bin at HD, so I may go buy all the perennials they have. I'm not so interested in the annuals. They did have succulents for ten cents, also, but I have small children and thought they might hurt themselves! So anyway, as you can see, if I can get a deal on a plant, I'm all over it!

Good for you! We also buy out-of-season plants when they're on sale. The plant will come back next year, and if not, it's not a big financial loss.

A woman after my own heart. I search the discount bins all the time and sometimes get rewarded with a great plant the next year. Happy gardening.

Another bargain shopper here as I trawl the garden centres and large stores for discounted plants/bulbs too. Very rarely am I disappointed in what I get as most of them come back year after year.

As I find deals on great plants at national chain stores, I'll let ya'll know. I'd love it if you'd tell me, too. Most of the time they won't do much the first year, but after that, they're back to good...same with any perennial you transplant after "peak" season! Thanks for all your kind words!
