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.

I think I have a few cucumber starts to get from a friend. And I ordered from a school plant sale and pick up some veggies and herbs on Monday. I'm digging out space for them gradually. crab grass and thistles and cup plants took over my usual vegetable patch and I'm trying to reclaim it a couple square feet at a time.
