Costco had some really nice plants too... a month ago. I saw them before I moved and told myself there was no way to buy them and move them. Now the Costcos here are plant free. I have checked 2 of them this week and no more garden centres. I got their baskets last year and they were great and inexpenisive too.

I checked a few places tonight and found one overgrown specimen at Superstore. I figured for $10 I might be able to bring it back to life. I tried CT, HD, Costco, and a few other places tonight and the pickins are slim. Walmart has only petunias and I don't have the sun for those. The garden centres are the only places with stock that looks healthy but the prices are also high. I'm just hoping the cheaper places get a few more trucks in yet.

Fingers crossed I can find something on the weekend. Tomorrow is unpacking again so two inspectors can visit Friday. Then maybe the rain will be out of the forecast and I can play outside a bit.

we bought a couple of baskets at costco....10 dollars each, now that was about a month ago...not sure if that was a sale price or regular price........they were big and very full nice baskets. We bought a New Guinia impatience and a Geraniuam but they had many to choose from...........as you can see we havent hung it yet :) and this is the tree we bought for 25 bucks at walmart, it looks better in real and excuse my garden as i have not got to them yet :eek: we bought it to hide the side of the step, which i think is any eyesore

Where did you find these good buys please?

I went looking for baskets (planted) on MOnday and went into shock. $30+ for 10" so I didn't even bother to look at the other stuff.

The guy at Walmart said they expect more stock Thurs so I am hoping they have something other than petunias as I need a couple more baskets but I'd like to find some trees and bushes somewhere without it breaking me.
