Getting It Right

In the front yard flower beds, I finally decided to go all-perennial this year.

After much perusal of the various catalogs, we decided on a variety of plants from Spring Hill Nursery. One variety is still back-ordered, which is annoying, but two others have been in the ground awhile and are doing beautifully (that last link is to the pink variety, we have the white).

In the front bed, I envisioned this nice purple lavender hedge. Unfortunately, the first batch of six arrived dead and dessicated. Spring Hill immediately shipped a second set, which arrived in slightly better condition, but still not better enough to survive.

This morning in my email inbox was a note letting me know that a credit was on the way. No fuss, no hassle, just making it right.

I'm thinking we're going to order more pincusion flowers. Their "real" name is scabiosa, but they're too pretty to be calling them that.

Disclaimer: There are a lot of negative reviews of Spring Hill out on the net. I've been through some of what a many folks complain about, but it's about what I expect when I deal with them. I'm satisfied with them, but I'm patient. It's what gardening is all about.

Don't worry, those plants are on back order every year.

I ordered from them about 6 years ago. It was a selection of plants and I was happy with all that I got. As a matter of fact the clematis I ordered moved with us to two other houses and the Astilbes are still there as well.
I never had a complaint, but now I just like to go to nurseries and look at the plants before I buy them.

Remarkable post & Outstanding weblog! I would like to begin a blog too but I've no clue where to start. I have the relevant skills to do it (not that hard on the practical part) but I honestly feel like I'm just too lazy to post frequently... That's the matter, if you start you need to go all of the way...

I do like the way you have presented this particular problem plus it really does present us some fodder for thought. Nevertheless, coming from everything that I have personally seen, I really trust as the actual opinions stack on that folks keep on issue and in no way embark on a soap box regarding the news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this exceptional piece and though I can not really go along with it in totality, I value your point of view.
