My mom really loved Rose of Sharon. If I could have dug up her tree and brought it home, I would have... The new one I bought is to plant in memory of her.

I spend so much at TSC i have several 'same day delivery' coupons.
During pandemic, they stopped delivering to me, which is annoying as heck. They would only deliver within 10 miles of the store. Heck, if I LIVED 10 miles from the store, I'd pop over in the middle of a project and pick it up myself!
They just started delivering to me again, and it's worth $70. They use a third Person courier.
I needed a 6 foot x4 foot ranch gate, which is 3 inches too wide to go into my truck.
I COULD hook up the trailer and drive to town and back and get it, but on errand day, dragging a trailer around from place to place is a royal PIA.
So I used by coupon. Two hours after ordering the gate showed up. Notice THE gate, not MY gate.
Grumble.
Not that I cannot USE this gate, but it isn't the one I ordered.
I ordered a tubular cattle gate. 99$
They sent a galv. square gate with 2/4 hog panel on the bottom. $169
Now I KNOW when I go in tomorrow and tell the manager, he'll say keep it. But come ON.
If it wasn't able to be used, they'd pay the courier to bring me a new one and take back the wrong one. Either way, they're out $70 for someone's sloppy mistake.
They aren't close in price, not in shape, not in colour, not in code, NOTHING.
And now my project is behind to boot.

Another thing that should grow like mad here, but refuses, no pussy willow or forsythia either.

I ordered feed online at runnings and had them load me at the front door. I didn't even hear the chicks, but they had a sign on the door that they were in.
