“Pffft” , I said,  I can get $5 plants from Home Depot in October.  Well the short version of that long conversation was that she pointed me to a local nursery in Ontario that sells MANY plants of a multitude variety for $5 each.  We’re talking Japanese Maples and Hydrangea’s for $5.

It’s in Hamilton, which is a 60 minute ride for me.  But I made the trip, and damn, I spent a considerable Northland Nurseriesamount of money there.  All I can say is, if you live in the area, you MUST make a trip out and visit the good folks at Northland Nursery.

I think they grow plants for large distributors like “Proven Winner” and the like.  The only drawback is that these plants are typically 2 years old.  But for someone like me, who needs to cover his entire yard in plants, it’s worth it.  The best part is, they love Daylillies as much as I do.  They have at least 25 varieties that I have not seen before.  I had a blast.
