I too, received my Denver order... they gave me everything I asked for except
for one! They also marked one NC, and there's one more that I'm not too pleased
with the condition, but for the most part, I was wowed by the rz's. I will trim
and clean them tomorrow morning (before the temps get into the 100's... before
11am) and then, I will find a place to plant them. Before I hear "you can't do
that!" Let me tell you that I planted 40 things at the start of July, and I've
only "lost" 2 of them... so I'd say to you "yes I can!" In fact, I've spent
the last 2 days planting things from the Dallas sale... many of them were in
need of being planted asap... sunburnt leaves, etc. BUT I do have partial shade
where my gardens are, and I kept them watered 2 x daily for 2 weeks...
I just wanted to sahare my experience.
