2025 Bedding Plants Forum

Can't believe it, but Wal-Mart doesn't sell just straight aspirin. Everything is coated. Thoughts anyone?

I think I picked mine up at Walgreens. The problem is all the stores are using AI for inventory management and stock product that fits the profit / retail space used / percentage of turns modeling. Walmart has dropped a huge amount of their offerings. They do not stock a plain 9in pie tin anymore. You have to buy a pie shell premade to get a tin from them.

I really believe that AI will be the worst thing ever to come along. You already see lower inventory at stores but it won't matter because AI is taking over JOBS and people won't have the money to buy anything. JMO The thought of what it will replace scares the dickens out of me.

3 times a day watering and all the bedding plants look cooked. I had this piece of old shade cloth I had sewn for something else so I spread it over the plants today. It really helped more than expected. I also used one of the big gates to shade 1/2 Bon Temps' Eggplant plants.



The Eggplant plants on the left get shade pretty quick from a Pecan tree.

The Millennial Gardener swears by shade cloths. He uses them on his figs and garden area during June, July and August.
