I bought the Sweet Slice Cucumber Plant for my mom as a Mother's Day gift. I live 8 hours away, so it was very convenient to be able to purchase this online and have it shipped directly to her. According to her, they arrived in great condition. They were a bit dry, but that's going to be a given for any plant that is being mailed. Once she watered the plants, they perked right up. She planted them in the ground a few days later and so far, so good! These plants were much cheaper too than other potted vegetable plants I've seen at places like Home Depot or gardening stores. I would definitely recommend this product!
