BTW, here's a plant company that I found. I haven't gotten anything from them, but they seem to have pretty good prices.

Do NOT order from them!!! I tried them once and NEVER again. You will get cheap, field-grown, bare-root crap that you will be lucky to get to grow. They are like the Publisher's Clearinghouse of plants.ylexot said:
Spend the extra money and get GOOD plants. It is WELL worth it.

Thanks for the tip. I need all the help I can get...I have one green thumb and one black thumb (I have about a 50-50 success rate with plants).jazz lady said:Do NOT order from them!!!

I do GREAT with stuff that's outside and horrid with indoor plants. Wouldn't ya know that I have several inside plants that managed to make it through the winter so a couple weeks ago I put them on the back porch (that's what my mom does sometimes). 3 of the 4 are on the brink of death. I can't win.
I have been destroying fresh cherries...
Strawberries have long since not had a chance in my presence...
I tragically prefer red seedless over green grapes and I go through a BJs huge box per week...
I am ready to kill for honeydew prices to come down... It's often less expensive to purchase it at the Giant salad bar v. as a whole melon right now (but they've caught on and won't always have it offered)
In my fridge, right now, I have fuji apples, strawberries, grapes, cherries, a canteloupe and limes...

I hear you. Most things I can grow very easily, but others give me a devil of a time.You just have to be very careful when ordering mail order/over the internet. Check the fine print VERY carefully and make sure you KNOW what they mean. I just looked at Michigan Bulb's web site and nowhere (at least that I could find) did it say anything about the size or quality of what they ship you.
You're better off ordering from one of the big companies like Burpee or Park Seed. I've used them for years and their quality and customer service are excellent.
