Excellent. A few days ago, when you said you had 800 pots, I wondered what 
you'd be left with and worried that you were setting yourself up for
disappointment. This is great.

....has rebounded.  At least here it seems to have.
All year I was unable to take my vacation time, office was too hectic. I ended up taking almost every afternoon off in March to get it in before my anniversary date. March was so deliciously superb that I got a ton of stuff 
potted - and more in April - together with what I'd potted last fall and
some items I'd ordered. I ended up with well over 800 pots for my spring 
plant sale.  I had to take 2 days off just to set it up.  It's a 2 day
association garage sale and rain was looming but it looked like Friday would be safe. Still, I thought I'd end up stuck with half my stock and have to 
lug it back into the backyard.

Word got out and the eager buyers swooped in at 6:45am Friday.  They
picked me clean - even the seedlings and cuttings still in the backyard that I was holding over for use in my August sale. Everything gone. Fast, very fast. People were grabbing things I hadn't even tagged yet because I thought I'd get to them for Saturday. People that showed up after work wondered where the sale was. I had to apologize profusely; this has never happened before. And then there's tomorrow. Geez, I hope it rains so I don't have to 
face them.

I think people are ready to shop.  At least for plants they are.
