Am I missing something?

Wow , well that's one direction to take. It's good to see that Agri-Starts has removed there online pricing although a little late I have always respected nurseries both online and local for what they provide, granted I usually frequent the one who offer a good deal but in some cases quality takes the front seat. Well that's my 2 cents
