So few salespeople are so busy talking that they never as the customer what they have in mind.

As a customer when you want, need, the job done can change the price and the quality.
When, the phone is ringing off the hook you will obviously be quoted a high price.

Plants. They all look nice at the garden center grown by experts under perfect conditions. Are you willing to cover marginally hearty plants all the time? If, not don't buy them. You will find plants for sale that just won't grow here. Peony plants. I had a great collection of them where we used to live. You will see them for sale at all the box stores. It is just not cold enough for them. They need a dormant period to bloom.
