Shipping too Soon: I got an e-mail yesterday from MI Bulb saying my order has shipped. Seriously, there is no way it's time. It's way to early, right? I mean, the last frost date here, is roughly May 5th. Why would they send me plants right now when it's pretty much guaranteed to freeze again several times before 'spring' gets here? I wonder if they actually look at the address on the shipping label, or check the zone the shipment is going to. My guess is they don't check and they don't care.
Pansies: The Pansies that the apartment complex put in front of the leasing office last fall were coming back, greening up, leafing out, growing fast, and even started to flower again. So today I was really annoyed that they had torn them all out and put in brand new Pansies already in full flower. The ones coming up again on their own were perfectly fine. There was nothing wrong with them, yet they ripped them all up and threw them away. You would think the complex would want to save a little money by allowing the fall flowers to come back on their own. It seems like such a waste to pull out healthy flowering pansies only to replace them with healthy flowering pansies. I hope they freeze and have to be replaced; it would serve them right!
