Discounted Plants
Hi Tawra,
As usual, your newsletter is awesome!
I wanted to pass along a tip I got today. Lowes and Home Depot sell vegetable plants at this time of year only and as things start to wilt and there is less demand (as most gardeners have already picked their plants), they begin to put things on clearance. I was just at Lowes and bought vegetables for 50cents a plant, bought grape and blueberry bushes (although very small, but will be big in a few years!) for half off, and bought onion and garlic starters for $1 a piece. The saleslady said they throw a lot away this time of year because they usually order more than folks buy.
Thought I would pass it along! rachael
Note from Tawra:
This is one of my Favorite Places to shop! I love the discount cart at Lowe's! I have found a TON of great deals for really cheap! The kicker is if they die, you can take them back and Lowe's will give you a refund up to a year later! So keep that receipt!
Here are just a few I have found in the last few weeks:
drawf coreopsis- perennial .50 each normally $4 each.
6 pack annuals- .25, normally $1.79 each
Pampas Grass- $1.00 normally $6.95
9 pack marigolds- 50- normally $5.95
Daisy's for .50 normally $3.95
As you can see some of these are in great shape. What usually happens is they forget to water them put them on the discount bin because they look and then you just bring them home and water. So far this year I've gotten over $100 worth of plants for about $6-$7.
This is a great deal if you don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks for blooms to come back.

Isn't it cheaper to buy a pack of daisy seeds for $1 ?
Yes, depending on your needs and time frame.
I spent about $8 in seeds this year and have around 400 plants coming up.
These other plants are items that take too long to start from seed in our area or plants that I want to fill in empty spots.
