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.

Plant shipped during winter storm!

6 years ago

Good morning! I just got an email that Stark has shipped my replacement potted honey berry plant that was DOA in the spring. The last week in October, to Colorado, during a winter storm! While I realize they may not keep track of weather it seems a bit late to ship to Colorado. Really looking forward to gardening in this. hope the little guy arrives safe despite the high temps not rising above freezing for the next few days. Stay warm, friends!

    Isn't that the truth? It'll be boxed, so somewhat insulated from the cold. It should be dormant by now, too. If it isn't, this should do the trick, lol! Put it in the garage when it arrives, unbox it, see if it needs water and hold it till warmer temps next week. It may be too muddy for a while once this melts to plant it. You'll get a chance to plant it properly, just not this week.


    You stay warm as well!
