I posted this on the other thread about this in the fashion forum, but by the time I can actually plant anything here in Ohio, the gardening shows on QVC are done.

 

None of the plants they show will ship until they are ready to be planted in whatever zone you are in.  Sometimes I like to just watch a little and get ideas for landscaping and plants but I don't buy any of this kind of stuff from anywhere bt a local nursery. 

 

But all the stuff other than plants will ship immediately and I wouldn't want to deal with storing it for 4 months.


I live in Ohio too and some of the state is preparing for our first snowstorm...LOL I buy local too...nothing I have ever bought from QVC ever takes off....

I was making the point that's usually the time I watch Denim & Co. and today it wouldn't be on.

You do not "have to sit" through two months of Roberta's presentations.  You do not have to do anything.

 

Whuy do people here act as if they are required to watch QVC?  There are plenty of other things to do.


And plenty of us do plenty of other things. But once in a while we like to just lay back and watch meaningless shopping channels. I don't buy swim wear in December or plants in January.  Especially when they don't send it to you for weeks - until THEY decide it's the right season for you to plant.

Hey, I was in Kohls Sunday and all of the winter items are 60% off, some more than that and on clearance racks.  The regular racks were full of shorts, tank tops, t-shirts, etc.

I knew I would be snarked I usually am whenever I try to say something. I've gotten used to it.

Your right, Perkup, I like to watch Gary and Carolyn while I'm in the kitchen doing my work not like that's all I got to do all day. I don't have live in help or a maid coming in. If I see something I like in the way of clothing I pick up the phone. I'm not gonna pay 50 .00 and up to feed the rabbits. LOL

@SeaMaiden - Don't go putting any ideas into retailers heads.  They might just do it.

Groan...... KYToby is here once again to chastise everyone.  You'd think he/she could find something else to do.

Here is more information about this houseplant (except for those living in Hardiness Zones 10 and 11). http://wimastergardener.org/?q=adenium

 

And I do not watch the garden shows at all at the Q.

 

I have already put an order in to a rose company from TX for 3 new roses for my rose garden for late April delivery.

Most gardeners are sitting at home now researching plants to replace ones in their garden that they want to either switch out because  (1) the plant didn't perform to expectations; (2) the plant is a disease or insect magnet;

(3) the nursery folks LIED and said it was not going to get any bigger than 4' high and wide! (LOL)

 

For those who do enjoy gardening, just enjoy the colorful plants on the TV set. For those who don't, use your remote.
