I haven't seen a Garden Watchdog on Cubits so I will offer my advise about Van Bourgundien.
AWFUL Service,plants ( bulbs ,dont know I stopped doing business with them 10 years ago so I am not even tempted by bulbs from them.There are too many other sources.)
Other may have good experiences with them but mine was bad.
I ordered a Oriental Poppy collection and the bare root plants that came were waaaaay undersized. 2 of the 6 were rotted and moldy. I asked for replacements and they sent half dead plants again.
My general philosophy about asking for a replacement plant from any vendor is,.
If its someone I deal with on a regular basis or has a good reputation I will accept replacements.
When its a new untried vendor I dont bother to ask for a replacement because I will probably get another dud.
I mailordered heavily last spring and crossed 3 vendors off my list due to small expensive plants that didnt thrive.
Vendors may think this callous but they should get the spam I do.
