Holly, Hydrangea and Tomato Plants

We made a visit to Home Depot yesterday (we are going to be buying from Lowe’s from now on). I wanted to go shopping for shrubs. Maybe I can just cut this, and the following posts short. You can just read all the other ones about shrubs I have written through the years.
I had a bunch of stuff on my list, but mainly items from the garden area. Here is what I got:
- 1 Blue Hydrangea
- 4 Holly bushes
- 2 Rhododendron
- 1 25 lb. bag of grass seed
- 2 Tomato plants
and some other stuff. Maybe I’ll write about that later.
Laura picked out the Hydrangea and made sure it was blue. There are a few others around here, so it should fit right in.
There are a lot of areas I need shrubs. I really like shrubs at the ends of driveways. I don’t know why, but I do. Therefore, I needed shrubs to put at the end of this semi-naked driveway. I put the Holly and Rhododendron there. There is room for a lot more though.
I also did some seeding yesterday. I went through the whole bag in about two minutes. The spreader settings needs to be high, so it really shoots out fast. I raked the seed in some bare spots in the lawn, and just spread it out on the areas up near the road. If the birds eat it, I’ll just get more.
What’s really exciting is our new tomato plants. These are hybrid something-er-others. They are supposed to produce nice big tomatoes. I like tomato sandwiches, so I am hoping they come out nicely.

What happened at H.D. that made you switch to Lowes?

Oh, I made that decision a long time ago. It’s nothing in particular, just that Lowe’s seems to be a lot cleaner and has more of the things I need. Their garden centers are also better.
Whenever I am in Home Depot, I feel like I need to be walking around with a toolbelt on. They seem to be more “contractor” oriented, while Lowe’s seems to be more “consumer” oriented.

I’de have to agree with Jay on that one. Lowe’s definitely trains their employees in the products and customer service. If you can find someone at Home Depot they would be sure to point in a direction and say “somewhere over there” when you have a question.
Also I find all Lowe’s to be much cleaner as well. I worked in retail for over 5 years so it’s very important to me for a store to be clean since I worked hard to keep my store that way. It’s like comparing Target and Wal-Mart. Both have good prices, Target is just a bit higher but everything is clean, the employees are friendly and helpful, and there aren’t pallets and boxes everywhere cluttering the isles.

You’ve always liked tomato plants. Even throughout high school.
I have some Lowe’s coupons if you would like them
