Those pesky rodents got into my peat post last winter and ate some ryegrass that was unintentionally dropped at the big box store into the packaging. I swear they can't see well but they sure can smell well. lol.greggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490422976382424491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-75273022958366546372012-02-14T09:58:12.811-08:002012-02-14T09:58:12.811-08:00I saw one at Shoal Creek Nursery, when I went to c...I saw one at Shoal Creek Nursery, when I went to cash in my gift certificate last fall.

What a performer! I bought mine in a 1 gallon container at Al-Tex Nursery. $6.00! I was so taken with it, I went back a few weeks later to find them on sale for $2.00! I scattered seed in the garden, the method that seems to work best for me, and am hoping they appear this year.sandy lawrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-20393683035561644152012-02-14T02:23:45.049-08:002012-02-14T02:23:45.049-08:00I saw those last year in the Burpee catalog, but d...I saw those last year in the Burpee catalog, but didn't order because of the price.
