Planting perennials in autumn

October 14th, 2002 · Comments Off

What’s up with perennials? I brought them in because of frost warnings. Are they okay if I put them in the ground today? I think I am going to turn my cornfield into a giant nursery bed and just put stuff in the ground. When can I move stuff? Can I move them until the ground freezes? Do I have to wait until spring?

Since I am going to DC I need to do something if I can’t figure out where everything is going tomorrow.

Price and selection was my main motivating factor in buying from Hortico. I will write more later.

What’s so great about Hortico?

So, Ro, what is the advantage for the cold climate gardener to shop at Hortico instead of a United States mail order nursery?

My Hortico order came

October 5th, 2002 · Comments Off

My Hortico order came, and the shipping was one hundred thirty dollars. Ouch. There were a few substitutions and backorders, but everything seemed in good order. I could have saved close to three hundred dollars not including gas and tolls if I drove there to pick it up, due mostly to the shipping charges and the exchange rate.
