Has anyone else noticed that OSLG sales have plummeted, compared to previous years at this time? We've had a cooler spring where I am...but prices on plants have skyrocketed, and sales are really slow. All this at a time when we're normally busting at the seams with people anxious to get out and garden...

Blowes, putting all its eggs in the Pro basket, gooching their bread and butter base, will fail miserably. The garden center is just one example. Joe Schmo doesn't want to wait in line while the cashier goes through the credit script for 3 minutes with the guy in front of him, then start the Blowes Pro MVP BS for another 4 minutes. He's gonna put down his Small Hands 12v Dewalt drill and walk da f-k out and buy elsewhere. Stuff like this is a major factor in the stock price taking a -30% dive over the last few months.
I go to my local garden center. At least they are smart enough not to cut hours from the watering person and the plants don't die. Plus much cheaper.
Home Depot has better prices and a great selection, that is where I go.
