Well, like Jill said, this weekend was certainly an auspicious start to our plant sale venture.  Wow!  Mother Nature sure dished it out here on the hill…biting wind, sideways sleet and snow…I’m amazed anyone came out at all.  But they did.  Friends.  Neighbors.  Strangers.  They came and they enjoyed the warmth of the greenhouse.  And at the end of the day, merriment ensued with some of our dear friends.  It was a great weekend!

As for sales, I’d say we sold mostly tomatoes, squash and peppers.  Not a lot of people bought basil, but we didn’t grow a lot, so that went pretty quick.  The flowers we grew for fun for ourselves also sold, which was fine.  Snapdragons, statice, celosia.  Some folks went for the cooler weather crops: kale, broccoli, onions.  Very little lettuce, no leeks or chard(until Amy and Joseph showed up!).

We did the best we could under the adverse conditions, and we are pleased.   We do, however, have a great deal of veggies still left and have decided it would be prudent to have a sale again this coming weekend.  The weather is starting to turn and it is supposed to be in the 80’s by the weekend.  That should get folks thinking of gardening!  Same bat time, same bat channel…10am to 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.  We’ll see what happens.

We still have plenty of just about everything except basil(gone) and Delicata Squash(about 18 left), and I presume we’re only low on those because we planted less.  Reminder: Plant more next year!  Oh yeah…Thank you to everyone who came out to support us!!  Big big love, out to you!!! 

You just can’t take the hippie out of the girl…
