The cashier asked if I just didn't like it, and I explained the graft, mentioned I'm sure someone would still buy it anyway, but the conversation was greek to her (which is understandable and not her fault). I rarely go to the big box--I never returnBenjamin Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661489036836711335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-62619316508504726872008-04-30T08:03:00.000-05:002008-04-30T08:03:00.000-05:00Bad graft - a lot of these kinds of things don't t...Bad graft - a lot of these kinds of things don't take properly and get job lotted out to the box stores where the receivers don't know a graft from a petunia.<BR/><BR/>Growers get paid when somebody buys it so as long as the product moves, the grower gets paid. All parts of the chain talk about quality but stuff happens along the way. Fact of life in the nursery and big box store chains.<BR/><BRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-48674541866315818242008-04-28T08:35:00.000-05:002008-04-28T08:35:00.000-05:00I did laugh at the glove comment.

I now have a pair of these gloves and the left hand is blue and the right hand is purple. I wear out the right hand faster. I guess I need to only buy one color but then what fun would that be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-23131329712867325112008-04-26T17:49:00.000-05:002008-04-26T17:49:00.000-05:00I wish I knew more about this to help you.

Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>Keep sending the writing out! The more you have out there, the more people read it and the better your chances. I see some accepted and some 'still out'.
