Wow. You got an awesome deal.
Nurseries would never bring their prices down so low.

Thanks.
Makes me wonder how they could have asked for 87% more, in the first place!

[ssbean]

Great deal.

Yucca's have nice flowers too, if I'm thinking of the right plant.

Well, confession time.
They almost got me paying full price.
I saw these in May and wanted to get them then.
I doubted there would be any left in July -- slowly, I 'm learning to wait.
Very slowly.

That's awesome - I'm jealous! It's tough seeing all the plants at the beginning of the season and then playing the waiting game in hopes that there will still be some left at a reduced price by the end of the season. I'm a total plant hoarder though - I now have to tell me boyfriend not to let me go into the garden centre 'cause I don't really have places in the lawn to put it (plus with the drought it just one more thing that needs extra care).

my best find so far was at FreshCo - at the end of their "season" they had a bunch of leftover basil and parsley plants (and a bunch of other annuals) all for free. They looked horrible but they were BONE DRY. I took a whole bunch (and there were still some left when I went back a few days later so I took more) - all they needed was a little watering and they've done amazing! I've been giving away basil plants to people just 'cause I ended up with so many but I felt back leaving them their to die when all they needed was some water! I figured for free -worst case they die, best case...I end up with way way way to many plants..lol.

Haha.
Well, that's less lawn to mow.
My friend goes to the 75% off sales each July. She has less lawn each year, and is proud of it. Her garden looks really nice - front, back, side(s) of the house.

Oh I do that too because, you snooze you lose, but many times there are still a few surprise pickings at the end of the season. Obviously we have no choice but to buy annuals full price in the beginning of the season. Too many times I saw something and waited and then it was gone

About the annuals, Sobeys came late in the game this year and had the best deal on hanging baskets (June, I think) -- bigger basket with very healthy annuals. Unfortunately, we already bought at Food Basics.
