Okay, I’m at a bit of a loss here. I promise all I wanted was to review the conditions required to successfully plant a replacement Cleyera Japonica as a foundation shrub in my front bed. I didn’t even include “bed” in my Google search, yet I get… this. Now don’t get me wrong, my blood’s as red as anyone else’s. That’s one fine lookin’ piece of Cleyera to be sure. But usually I manage to concentrate on gardening for awhile and then if so inclined I can switch over to swimsuit models and never the twain shall meet.
My err… curiosity aroused, I peruse the site further only to encounter that for Crepe Myrtles replete with the commingling of a nice little hottie with… could it be… the Haghia Sophia?
As a man of the soil I can’t say I find this entirely objectionable. I will, however, remove my gardening gloves for a bit so I can scratch my head without risk of disturbing my groomed locks or smearing my body bronzing lotion.
Oh, God, TyTy…( I figgered it from the title, even before Twicks called out) yep, the site is hilarious for the cheesy models. And legendary for their Bad Customer Service.
On the Garden Watchdog site, the complaints ran for pages, a few years ago; really the worst horror stories I’ve ever seen for a mail-order nursery, and inexcusable crap like sending near dead plants, never sending plants, being rude and hanging up when people complained, on and on and on… GardenWatchdog had to pull the whole thread when TyTy put legal pressure on them, creating even more of a Stay Away vibe in the gardening community.
Here’s a more recent link detailing customer dissatisfaction on GardenWeb. The tip of the iceberg of awful service.
Thank you for the clarification, elelle, as otherwise I might have ordered some grape vines, started playing field guitar and then either become confused or constipated during the harvest.
I just wish there was more separation between the Yellow Pages listings for Nurseries and Nightclubs, so that I could look up hot spots for plant buys in public places, without passersby thinking that I’m leering at the ad for the Doll House.
By the way, TyTy Nursery also does business under a variety of other names (with similar reputations for terrible products and/or service), such as Aaron’s Nursery and Aaron’s Bulb Farm (check out the babes with the grapes).
