Missing seed racks

cecilsgarden1958 · February 24, 2008

Our local Wallyworld just now got their W.Mart Gardens seed racks in and Burpee is a no show and they don't think it's coming. Does your W.Mart have a Burpees rack, this year?

Walmart had them her in Houston. Not as good as past years.

Lowe's has a good selection this year.

Lowe's and Homer had a nice selection but the racks are pretty much half empty now guessing the temps being 80.
Silly weekend gardeners.

I saw Burpee's and Wal Mart Garden's at the local Wal-Mart here in Southern California over a month ago. I have not seen them at Lowe's though. They only have Ferry Morse.

The Wal Mart's here have them but not near the selection of tomatoes. No Brandyboy or Porterhouse this year. They have a good selection on most other veggies though. I think in the rack I looked at today they had 4 different varieties. One cherry type and 3 slicers. No op's at all. They also had Ferry Morse which had Brandywine at least. Jay

No Burpee at our WalMart so far this year. Dang!

Burpee racks at Walmart full of seed here in north Alabama. I bought several varieties cheaper than I could have ordered straight from Burpee.

Yep Wallmart in Minnesota had them not a very big selection and no Brandy Boy, Menards did have them too no porterhouse but Brandy Boy at 40% off so a pack was $1.50. pretty cheap I thought.

Burpee seeds is the only one our local Wal-Mart has out right now. And only one rack to boot.

feldon30 · February 26, 2008

It's actually bewildering the seed racks I have seen.

Burpee seems to have a whole line of seed packs with green background and white text, a whole rack of seeds with black text on white background, and then some other variations. There were no less than 4 Burpee racks at the closest Home Depot. Then there's Ferry Morse...

All the Wal-mart's have 1 Burpee seed rack. 4 sided
if you what the varieties you mentioned. You need to find either a Kmart,Super Target or independent garden center that stocks Burpee seeds.
Ps the Seed racks in Wal-Mart are running a month behind last years date in the stores.

Don't know. Haven't looked as I ordered all of my seed online from highly respectable sources. Last year the daughter picked up about half of our seeds off the Burpee rack at WalMart. Germination was near zero for many things and virtually nothing that germinated survived to bear anything. I won't be buying Burpee anytime soon. We did get their catalog this year and I was dumbfounded at the "Burpee exclusives" that I have seen elsewhere, the renamings, and the extremely high prices for 10 heirloom seeds that others are offering 3-100 times as much of for the same or less $.

cecilsgarden1958 · February 26, 2008

It has been a week or so and still no Burpee seeds.
We have two Walmart Garden Racks, sort of slimline compared to other years. One has little end racks, the other doesn't. Not even a cherry tomato on the rack. Although they have yellow pear.

I agree, from walmat to Lowes to Menards I have seen the black, green, and white envelopes in all different prices.
