What did you do in the garden today?

Now that I got the general taste of it, I conclude that a dark homemade brew of black tea, brown sugar and milk taste a lot better than instant bubble tea without the small, sweetened tapioca balls. The small tapioca jelly balls don't really change the taste other than making it a little sweeter and it's hard to eat it together with the tea without a fat straw specifically made for them. For me, it's not really mandatory.

But for children, the fat straw and tapioca bobas are super fun!

MIGardener is having a sale! I got my order in, now to wait for them to arrive.

I placed an order yesterday! I'd had a cart sitting for over a month. All seeds. At this rate I'm going to need another binder.

Yesterday before we left I went in the garden and looked at the bed I planted more lettuces in. A lot have sprouted. I'm excited to have a good winter garden going.

They did an oops about 20% off AND free shipping. They are honoring the oops.

So if you try to order again it's just 20% and you have to pay for shipping.

"We woke up this morning to a surprise. And it wasn’t the surprise you want to receive. While we were eating dinner, many of you were eating the deal of a lifetime. Rewind a week ago. A week ago we were trialing several different codes for kicking off the holiday sale. To find the best deal, still while staying in business. We trialed one which was free shipping on all orders.

After running the math, we realized it would be financially impossible to offer free shipping on some of our largest items, and also our lower priced items. So we settled on 20% off which was (for a small business) a HUGE discount.

Fast forward to today, we got a message thanking us for the free shipping. I thought, “hmmm that seems odd. We didn’t offer free shipping.” So I look. And to my horror, the code was not only still active, but it was automatically applied… on top of giving everyone 20%.

I panicked. Realizing the magnitude of what just happened, 2,000 orders came through. We realized then and there that we could do one of two things. We can either not honor the codes and create a PR nightmare, Or we could honor them and hope that something good comes from it. Even if it means losing money.

So we will be honoring every. Single. Order. Even if yes, it means we lose money on a lot of the orders. I guess the silver lining to this whole thing, is the reason so much sold is because you love our products so much. Like Amis who ordered 9 bulk bags, or susanne who ordered 6 coco coir blocks. Or Charley who ordered 4 bulk bags, 2 coco coir blocks, and 6 bags of worm castings. You all took advantage of something, and I don’t blame you for doing it. I would too if there were the best gardening products around at once in a lifetime prices.

We also hope you will check out the store if you haven’t already and shop our 20% off sale (the way it was intended lol)"

All I bought was seeds and I thought they usually did free shipping past a certain $$$ amount for those. Which is to say I hadn’t given it a second thought.

I hope this doesn’t hurt them too much, I know they had some growing pains this year.
