Re: north wind perennials..now Blue Mouse Ears

Kitty, I have what is probably an unusual arrangement with the local DIB 
hardware. They have a fairly limited space for plants so weekly ordering of fresh 
material is paramount. I agreed to do all the ordering of bedding plants in 
various sizes(april- june) in exchange for display space to sell gal.perennials. 
I am also there 4 days a week, 4 hrs ea. day to answer questions, freshen the 
displays, water if it hasn't been done, etc. They give me 2 racks( 8 ft 3 
tiered) and all the money from my plants. They collect the sales tax and deal 
with that paperwork. I also do all the signing and whatever extras need doing.
I find it best not to figure how much I make per hour! But the owners are 
neighbors and friends and we know that he will do anything to help if we need it. 
That's a good thing to know when we're a couple of 65+ females living 6 miles 
from town. Like the time I put the tractor in the pond and when I called the 
store to ask if he would send a couple of his guys out with a winch his 
response was" I'll be right there" and he was. 
It's an arrangement that suits me and gives me some needed cash doing what I 
love. Can't be all bad! Kathy
