        Q:How do I add a basil plant to my curbside order
        by|Aug 7, 2020
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  If your store that you are purchasing the plant from is on the list of stores for curbside pickup, you would order as normal and designate the order as curbside pickup. Curbside Pickup is available only in those select stores daily until 6 p.m. (you can go online to see what stores have curbside pickup) Valid only at the specific store selected by customer when placing order and only for orders confirmed via Order Pickup Notification email or text. All of those options should be available when placing the order on line.

        by|Jun 9, 2020

          A:  I just received them. the plastic pots they came in are, exactly 4 inches tall.

          by|May 26, 2023

            A:  This was not a curb side order

            by|Jun 10, 2021

            A:  The Home Depot site says it is 2.32 quarts for the plant so it would not be a 4 inch pot. No measurements are available on the web page.

            Just getting ready to plant it and it’s almost dead. Half the plant is wilted.

            Within a couple days a portion of the plant shriveled. By 4/26 it appears to be moldy. Unless it recovers I can’t plant in my garden
