I love Fannick's. If they don't have what you need, try Rainbow Gardens.

Fannick's for sure.

I did go to The Garden Center over the weekend and they had Fruit Trees.

It's too early. I usually plant in October/early November. The folks at Fannick's can give more specific dates (or at Rainbow Gardens, my other favorite). BTW, there are two RBG locations, and the one on Bandera Rd. is better by far. It's actually better than Fannick's for everything except fruit trees.

Drat! Fanick's is too far, and they won't deliver. Turns out, my friend is actually in Natalia. Any suggestions for something closer to Natalia?
