Trade Secrets Plant Sale

Big plant sale this past weekend. It benefits Women's Support Services, a "Worthy Cause" to be sure. Martha Stewart came through our booth, apparently all of her heirloom tomatoes are doing just fine...so she did not need to supplement.

The hottest sellers were probably Sun Gold Cherry tomatoes and Brandywines, though we have one customer who comes each season and buys 54 SanMarzano Paste tomatoes; they plant over 100 tomatoes for themselves...they are eating, freezing and keeping them and swore to me that none go to waste...I love it... passionate gardeners keep us in business!! Of course our Nasturtium hanging baskets almost all sold out too, just goes to show...tomatoes and old fashioned flowers are the way to go!!!

We of course had a huge display and as always came back with lots. There is probably someone out there who studies the effect of dwindling display, no one like to think they are getting the picked over goods. We never seem to have that at our Markets and plants sales. We always think big and bring the full diversity of what we have to offer.

Thank goodness for the sunny day and the stonewall behind our tent, it showed off baskets and containers so nicely.

Vegetable and heirloom tomato displays...we carry 24 varieties of heirloom tomato plants...definitely our most popular greenhouse crop.

We went through over 100 cardboard trays in the 6 hours of sales...Leo keeping on task!!!

They look good, they taste good, so many lovely nasturtium basket went to new homes.
