Growers Outlet

Remember this place from when I was a child. You could pull your car up, pay for bushel baskets of black dirt, then go outside and help yourself-​shovel was provided. Always had wonderful plants.
Not sure if it is still around but miss the wonderful customer service this place and so many others provided. In the big box stores you can fall over dead and would be there forever waiting for someone to help you.
As long as I am able, no matter where I live, I will always try to support small businesses.

As if I haven’t failed at enough things throughout my dismal life, I have chosen small scale agriculture to «drop the ball on». After giving botany some work early in my twenties (let’s just say it rhymes with «flannibas»), i thought I would give harmless eatable vegetables a go this year.
Decided to give different hot peppers, fresh herbs, and some cabbage a try this year. I was also very interested in growing my own potatoes this year as well. Most places had the peppers, and cabbage but no potato seeds (a.k.a «potato tubers»). I was directed to this establishment by an older fellow whom informed me it was family owned for the last fourty years.
I took a gamble and headed over to their place of business. A nice family run place indeed. I was taken care of from the choosing of plants\ seeds and soils, to tips, and having the woman’s son help me carry my goods out to my truck. The woman whom ran the joint was very helpful and social. Reminding me of the older stores and times before attrocities like Home Depot and Lowes popped up. Sad, this places of mass selling and low customer service putting places like this out of business. If you want some veggie seeds, plant, or flowers skip the big box stores, and head here for your selection (s). Keep these places alive and personal service.
