Wednesday evening I got an email saying that my cucumber plants had been shipped, with a tracking number.
Thursday afternoon I got another email saying no, they've combined them with my (nonexistent) order for shrubs and perennials, and will be shipping around June 1st -- more than two weeks later, even disregarding the oddity of getting that after the other. There was a "contact us with any questions," so I did, but have so far had no reply.
However, there is light on the horizon:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jenett posted that her plant starts had arrived from Burpee's. After a little grumbling (mostly under my breath) about her having gotten the plants that the website had teased me with and then not had, I took another look. I believe I will be getting two tomato plants--one cherry tomato and one hybrid I hadn't heard of--and a parsley plant. No black Krim, alas, but I did well with cherry tomatoes in East Arlington, which is encouraging, though there I was starting with very good soil, and no basil, but we have dried basil, and dried parsley is barely worth bothering with.
I will believe it when I see it, and then see about acquiring tomato cages, suitable containers for the plants, and maybe even a cucumber trellis. The parsley I plan to grow on the porch, along with the rosemary, sage, and thyme.
