Yes, its way to hot now. But I ordered from this company in Febuary! After
reading everybody's thoughts on this I decided to call. I was nice and polite
and they agreed there had been some problems this year. The plants in
question will have to wait till next spring. I asked they give me a refund
instead, I don't want to go through this again next year!! They said that
'their policy is to replace not to refund' so I atleast gave them my
thoughts, I also let them know I would not order from them again. I didn't
get the feeling that this would be a great loss to them. I am just one and I
know many, many people order from this company. But thanks list for your
thoughts & reading!
