Having a plant sale is a great way to get some exercise outside and do some gardening really early in the season. It motivates me to get the raking done, see which plants are already up, and do some dividing. For the last 3 years my dad and I have had a plant sale at his home. He sells off his many extra tomato and pepper plants he raised from seed and I sell off all my perennial divisions. Every year we are astounded at how much money we make. Last year was the most, I took in $350 and my dad did something like $250. This is in only 2 days! The pictures show my growing stock for sale. I started with cushion spurge and pachysandra because they were some of the first plants up and also my sister has asked for a cushion spurge.
Next I added some daylillies, corydalis, and bleeding heart.
Today I started organizing on trays because I now have more bleeding heart and a whole tray of lamb’s ear. At $1 or $2 per pot, the potential dollars are adding up and my garden beds are getting spruced up nicely as the nice days are beginning to be more often. I’ll keep you posted on my progress!
