Seedlings Sticker Shock

Seedlings Sticker Shock
Dropped by Rural King to pick up some garden molasses, which they no longer sell, and stopped to look at the vegetable seedlings they had to sell. I was not prepared for the sticker shock! The 3" pots of all of the vegetables were $5.78, the 5" were $7.98, and the 8" pots were $15.98. Sure makes me glad that I started all of my plants from seeds!

I bought some 6-pack flowers and sugar baby watermelons for $4.99 and $5.44, and 4" pots of herbs and cantaloupe at $3.99-6.44.
Sticker shock when one is used to starting most of the plants from seed.

So true! When you buy a packet of 100 - 200 seeds for around $3.00, seeing single seedlings sell for $5.00 is a shock.

Re: Seedlings Sticker Shock
Is it just regular inflation? Or what? That’s nuts….

Re: Seedlings Sticker Shock
I'm sure it's a combo of inflation on materials and rise in labor costs.
