Posted by Angela England Dec 21, 2007

My current poll asks the question, "What is your most common method for collecting new plants for your garden?"

Here are the poll choices and the totals so far from reader's who have responded - Scroll down to the bottom of the Plants and Bulbs main page to add your answer before December 31st!

• Mail Order - Do you purchase from Mail Order Catalogs and Companies? 25% say they do!
• Web-Only Companies - Like Sooner Plant Farm and other web-based nurseries without print catalogs? No answers yet.
• Neighbors and Garden Clubs - Sometimes trading seeds and divided plants is easiest. 12.50%
• Local Nurseries - Seeing the plants ahead of time allows you purchase healthy plants. 50% buy plants this way.
• Other - Do you get your plants by other means? Come to our plant discussion board and share with us! 12.50% chose this answer.

However you choose to select your plants make sure you are ordering from reputable companies, or select strong plants.
