People ask me if I plan to have the plant sale the weekend after Mother's Day that I have had for around ten years. I re-use old flower pots and use woods dirt and garden soil. By not having to buy these things, I manage to sell perennials super cheap. I just put the potted plants in the edge of our woods and forget about them for the winter. Some die, but most survive.
I have a large number of repeat customers who start calling in March to see what my plans are for the year.
I just dig plants out of my flower beds during the year, especially things that have overstayed their welcome. I'll probably have maybe 400 potted flowers. I will dig others and sell them without pots when the time comes. Many of the plants I have are passalong plants I got from my mother and other acquaintances.
Last year I made a thousand dollars, which as usual I will spend on my flowers and for garden ornaments like trellises and fountains. These pictures show that I do plan to have a plant sale next year.
