By Jerrytheplater on Apr 10, 2024 9:43 PM, concerning Miles' To Go: I have been ordering from Miles' To Go for at least 15 years, if not more. I have always been happy with the plants I've received. They are high quality plants. His prices are more than fair. I can't praise his growing skills enough. |
By Jerrytheplater on Apr 10, 2024 9:36 PM, concerning Paradise Found Nursery: I have ordered from Paradise Found Nursery twice. I was looking for Malagasy Caudiciform Euphorbia and they have them! I ended up speaking with the owner and found out they grow their Euphorbias in large beds on the tables and rely on ants to pollinate the plants. They don't collect the seed either. They let it scatter in the beds and grow on its own. They harvest the plants to sell when they are large enough. Obviously, these beds are spaced far enough apart to maintain purity in the plants. |
By Jerrytheplater on Apr 5, 2024 10:26 PM, concerning Waterford Gardens: Waterford Gardens originally was Wm. Tricker and Son and opened in 1895. I went there as a boy in the 1960's. When Mr. Schmidlin retired in the 1980's, it was sold and became Waterford Gardens. I still go there now. They sell quality plants of all types. The staff are friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend them. They will repot your plants for a fee. They have a crew that will build a pond for you and even maintain it, for a fee. I will really be sad if they ever close. |

The owner, Joann Stewart, is a very knowledgeable daylily person and is extremely helpful and friendly. She answers email promptly and has gone out of her way to mail plants at a time convenient for me. |
By adknative on Dec 29, 2023 7:16 AM, concerning Bootstrap Farmer: I discovered Bootstrap Farmer a few years ago, almost by accident. I was looking for better seed starter trays, instead of buying more of the cheap trays that crack so easily or break and dump loads of pots when you try to pick them up. A google search brought up their site. |
