    Default Do you head to the thrift bin at gardening centers?

    Do you hit the thift bin at garden centers? I love to buy off the markdown section. It's a thrill to revive a plant that looks like it might be gone.
    I like Lowe's markdown section. I got hanging fern baskets there for fifty cents-- they had been windburnt, but I just trimmed them back and they came out of it. My fifty cent daylilies that I bought last year are blooming nicely right now. I just love the bargain bin!!

    I sure do! I love a bargain and the fact that I get to save a plant that would have been lost is a second bargain.

    Well, I kill healthy plants.... So, nope, not too often. Sometimes, they have perfectly healthy plants that just aren't "pretty" anymore. I have bought something like pansies that I know will come back.
