Default Today Only 20% Off Burpee Gift Cards

I've been waiting for a good sale on Burpee pea fences to use as Earthbox cages. And waiting, and waiting...

Today I got an email saying that gift cards, which come in denominations of $25, $50, or $100 are 20% off for today only. I was thinking about getting one or two, then applying them to the purchase of pea fences.

Any thoughts?

JMHO but the pea fence at Burpee and the pea fence at Gurney's seem to be the same. I would wait for the Gurney sale when they have buy $25 get $25 free . . . same for $50 or $100. So basically you could get $200 worth of pea fence from Gurneys for $100. Might be worth checking into? I R Cheap.

I R cheap sometimes, too.

I heard that the ones from Burpee are a little taller, which is appealing where cherry tomato plants are concerned. I should verify that myself, though.

Thank you, Spike, for your opinion. Garden stuff can be so expensive. Sure, over the years it's usually worth it, but I have a hard time getting past the initial expenditure sometimes!

Burpee - Pack of 2 fence 7' by 40" - $39.95

Gurney's - Pack of 2 fence 8' by 32" - $39.99

Personally I would wait for the 2fer sale and be able to afford more of the fence and connect them to the height I wanted.

I R also cheap!

Snap, those dimensions make me wonder...I don't think the Burpee ones will fit an Earthbox. I think people have used those on EarthTainers, but I got them confused.

So, thank you both. I probably would have had to return them, and using a gift card, I would have probably gotten only store credit. That would have been bad! So I signed up for gurney's emails.

Crisis averted!

Thank you, PhilaGardener. I did order one, along with a bottle of fungicide to meet the minimum. It came today, of course, when my husband was home. I prefer to have gardening purchases appear like magic in the yard, as if they had always been there, as opposed to on the porch, when they look like purchases!
