Yes from store to store Lowes does have a different take on the outside garden areas. I can go to 4 different ones all within about 40 miles. Some have nothing but dried out plants and landscape bricks, while others are packed with plants and such all the time. I'm thinking it's the management and the staff that go into a good location. I go at least once a week for something and check out the newest stock of plants. The Binghamton NY store moves a lot of plants to the discount area often. I buy some plants at pretty fair prices this way. Also I check for potting soil bags that have been torn open and re-bagged. Of all the potting soil bags brands that they have there is often a bag or two that I can get for at least 1/2 price. Works real well when your going to use it anyways that day. Also mulch.
Back to the Custard Candys... They are so far going strong. I did see the shipment when it was full and they had hundreds of them. Pretty sure they will be C Candys. Spring will tell.
