ohhhh nooooo! now *that's* a HD tale. i legit cackled at her smooth transition into what she'd work on, but i also hope you have semi-recovered? i live in central Canada and the outdoor management/sales staff at every HD in town know me from years of bartering for year end plants (i do landscape design, and for years didn't have a greenhouse to place orders from so it was all no/low-budget budget!) i thought i had stories!

Definitely recovered (and have continued to put my foot in my mouth ever since!)

Yes, the end of season plant exit is very interesting. As a key carrier manager, I have to unlock the trash compactor to allow the vendors to throw dead plants out- it’s heartbreaking and I wish it wasn’t policy to do so, or I’d rescue every single one!!
