It's bad enough that roadside junk merchants and mass merchandisers are selling plants and nursery stock these days. Neither they nor grocery and hardware stores are qualified or licensed (why not PA Ag Dept?) to care for and sell these items, regardless of how many times their Assistant Manager has cut grass or the hired Master Gardener (not a "Master" at all if working for these places) has a certificate hanging in the employee coffee room. If the so-called Master Gardener was truly so, they'd be working for a real Garden Center or Nursery. Anyone with eyes can see the condition of these plants in a grocery or hardware store; fluorescent lighting was never meant to replace the sun. Watering, cultural information, care and aftercare? Forget it. They're incapable of even the basics here. So why do so many people around these parts buy plants when they buy milk, bread, hardware, TV's and such? Convenience. After being brought to the store, the plants are in terrible condition inside the store and worse outside. Actually, these supermarkets, hardware, mass merchandisers, roadside junk merchants and grocery stores throw away more than they sell. They've originally bought-in sub-standard grower's surpluses, and the plants fail quickly in their new, sub-standard environment. Most or all of these plants should have been composted for fertilizer, and not sold in the first place. Plants and nursery stock should be bought on quality, not price. Buy shoelaces and dry-wall screws on price, they're commodity items, plants aren't. You shop around for the best quality on other items, why shortcut the plants? Sometimes the world is a funny place.
