The sale went surprisingly well. I had a flatbed trailer that I put all the jugs on, and I printed up web-stolen pix for most of what was available, and I printed up a pile of trudi's pamphlets. Most people that stopped by had just come from the sale down at the local grange, so that was my opening line for everyone...to find out if that's where they came from, and to explain why the ones I had for sale weren't even close to that size, and then dive into the WS schpiel. It worked, and people were intrigued by the whole process. I usually gave a discount of some sort, or sent them home with a couple free ones, but I probably had about 75 containers. I made $84 for the day. The second-to-last lady who came later in the day took everything that was reseeding or perennial, as she was trying to fill an old hockey rink in her front yard of her new house, so I gave her a wicked deal, and as I was taking my signs down, a man and his kids came by and said he was on his way to his mother's and needed an "oops, I forgot mother's day" plant. I gave him the dozen or so containers that were left for free. So it was a success, and all my containers have new homes! And I got enough $$ to cover my Bluestone order on Friday! Thoughts for next time: The marigolds that I had of my own were pretty big, and the zinnias were, too. I'll definitely have those in the sale next time. None of the perennials were very big...a real gardener 'gets' this when starting from seed, but a lot of people were expecting big perennials. Had several requests for Columbine; it was the first container sold. Not sure what to do about that since Columbine is SOOOOOOOO small. Anyway, just figured I'd report back.

Oh Gosh! That means I will have about 4 Men watching here. All TCU Graduates. I'll be going to a Friends to escape.

Thanks for the update. Commiserating with you about the cable, etc. DH and I have spent most of three days here on Maui, grappling with Computer, Cable, BluRay, Amazon Prime for streaming. The condo association switched to Oceanic for internet; had them for TV earlier. They've failed twice in three days; next time they will send someone with a new gizmo. (Modem/router/whatsis) Take it easy. No need to do everything immediately. You aren't used to the weather. Wishing you many happy years in your Florida home!
