My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Carnation in vegetable garden?

19 years ago

I accidentally bought a carnation today as a companion plant instead of a chrysanthemum! :) I have seen that carnations can be subject to all sorts of wilt. And I'm reluctant to introduce that into the garden. Should I go ahead and plant it, or return it to the store?
