Thanks Shannah.
Ask and you shall receive! Not only did my dad pick some tomato spikes up for me, but my very good online friend in Illinois did as well, and sent them to me in a box full of goodies. PLUS... my Christmas Tree Shops apparently got a huge shipment in also and I bought 4 packages of 18 spikes earlier today, before I received the package today, so I am good to go!
The interesting thing is... Dad got his at an ACE Hardware store in Florida, and today he told me they are 8-24-8! I thought others had said here that Jobes isn't making those anymore? Do I assume these are old then? Dad said they had LOTS of them. The ones I bought, and the ones my friend sent are 6-18-6.
