You said over and over that the plants WIL NOT be shipped until

it is planting time in our areas...

:

At the moment the heat is on in my house... I need a coat & gloves

to go out side.... There are ice jams on the Lake hindering the Ships.

The Canadians & the Americans are working together to free the ships.

I know because my husband has 2 ships caught in the ice-jams and

yet..... QVC you shipped my plants....

:

This is PURE Michigan!

[scotttie]

Uh oh. DId you call them?

[kzeks]

They sent me a long eMail telling me what to do if I cannot plant....

:

From storing in the fridge (bulbs), to finding a sunny spot until it

is warm enough to be planted....

:

I am NOT amused....

grrrrrrrr

The growing seasons were established a long time ago with the zone charts. They don't change them every year because of an unusually long winter.

I hope you can find a way to keep your stuff alive while you wait for your weather to change.

Unless the plants are impossible to find later, I'd send them back.

That's correct. The charts are industry-standard and don't allow for unusually early or unusually late springs. We're also having a late spring in my region, so I know what you're going through right now.

Good luck with your plants.

I have to agree, growing seasons are established after collecting years of data. They have nothing to do with the actual weather.

I no longer buy plants from QVC, but when I did I found they would replace or give credit for plants that died.

I understand that the data is collected through the years

to come up with the average weather conditions for each

area..... but with a little homework they can find out the

present day conditions for any State they plan to do

business with...

I guess that's too much trouble Kzeks. With computers now days I can't imagine it would be that difficult.
