Why buy from the little guy? (aka us)

This has been a bug in my bonnet for a long time now - the fact that people consistently choose "box store" plants over the little guy because they are getting a "deal".  Really?  These petunias (left) had just been unloaded off the truck and no-one thought they might need water?

Picture
Our 4" tomatoes are $2 or 3 for $5.

Picture
Basket Stuffers - ours are bigger than these in 4" pots (these are 2" pots) and we sell them for the same price!!

Picture
Again with the watering :(

Picture
Our 10" baskets are $20 - and look a lot nicer than this

Picture
Lobelia/geranium baskets - not my favorite combination - we actually put some thought and effort into making our baskets different and creative.

Picture
1 of bedding plants for $3?  I cannot believe people would pay $3 for 1 marigold!  Ours are $2 for a 4-pak.

Picture
More basket stuffers and tiny geraniums - these would be fine in April - but I don't want the same size in May!

Picture
These plants looked fine - but I asked some simple questions about the zone, sun requirements and a few other little things - and none of my questions could be answered.
