You can get lucky sometimes at the box stores... We found Mount St. Helen's decidiuos azalea at Lowe's last year for less than 10 bucks... Seems that every year they have somethin' come in that is a good find... Alot of their stuff, however, is last year's leftovers that naurseries have doctored up, sometimes repoted and/or over fertilized to force blooms... Yeah, they look good at the box store but are high maintenance the 1st year to get them to thrive... We bought a couple rhodos from Lowes last year and had to water them constatntly becuase the root systems had been compromised from having to grow too long in the size pot it was in... Watered 'um every 3 days all summer...

We're going to put in our early veggie stuff Sunday afternoon... Still thinking about the plan...
