But is that really competing with themselves? I ordered two hydrangea bushes from Home Depot online, one in a two-gallon and one in a one-gallon pot. They are beautiful, started growing immediately, came quickly, free shipping, didn't dirty up the back of my car, and I didn't have to go anywhere. Maybe it's not supporting the local HD, but HD overall.
