Walked into Walmart last night and just inside found a $1.00 bin full of D affodils, Crocus and Tulips. Packages of 9 and 18. I am not sure where I am gong to plant them as I planted 48 Daffodils earlier this week. I just co uld not pass them up. Any other fall finds out there? MJ

I never buy plants at a lumber yard or hardware store. In any case, it's a bit late to plant spring bulbs in my area.
Hurry up and plant them, here in upstate NY the ground is already too frozen.
Up State New York is where I learned to love spring bulbs. The first crocus meant it might soon be warm. Where are you upstate? MJ
so far just several cases of canning jars for free. :)
i avoid buying these types of plants/bulbs as they often are not stored in anything even close to decent conditions. examining them often finds dried or damaged bulbs. some may grow out ok, but those that are dried up too much won't do much other than be a source of organic material for the soil critters.
if your ground doesn't freeze deeply you should be ok planting winter bulbs up until the end of December (but for best growth it is better to plant them earlier).

Even at that I had to buy those poor little things for a dollar. The ground here doesn't freeze here until January and then barely. I will get them in soon
Err...I respect your empathy for "those poor little things" and I hope they bloom up a storm come Spring.
But I don't buy in Walmart because of their horrible reputation about treating personnel like s**t. I guess I'll just keeping buying at the nabe nursery where they know their *** from their elbow.

They're the same packaged bulbs sold everywhere only for a lot more money than the big box stores.

I suspect you no longer go to Walmart after your picture of people shopping at Walmart was posted ;)
Then find better employment than cleaning Walmart's toilets.
Who you talkin' to, boy? I ain't didn't post no pikchure about peeple chopping at Walmart!
