What should I expect? Any recommended companies? Any plants to avoid through mail order?

Best answer:

Answer by barbara m
I used to order through the mail. The bulbs did well, but rose bushes, trees, & bare root stock did not. I went through michigan bulb co. They have a return policy, but it’s a hassle to go through. I’d suggest going to lowe’s or home depot. They have nice, strong plants & you don’t have to pay shipping or wait for them to arrive.

I can do Nasturium, poppy, allysum and snapdragons. Everything else I’ve tried either don’t do real well, or don’t make it at all. Or some of them come up and then some peter out. So I’m wondering, what kinds of seeds have you had luck with by just sowing them directly in the soil? What have you not had any luck with?
