Re: another MG sale . ROI

Kitty, I read your message to my DH who is involved in big plant sales at
two of the organizations he sits on the board of.  His advice is keep the 
bird in hand.  His groups find fall plant sales are never as successful as
those in the spring.  Non-gardeners just don't think in terms of fall 
plantings
of anything more than bulbs.  Add to that, you, like most volunteer groups,
are not counting the cost of potting those quarts on into gallons.  That's
a lot more work and materials, in addition to the care needed over the
summer.You made more actual dollars, and the ROI is still quite good.
Give yourself a break.  You work too hard.

So.  What do you think?  We are happy with the money we've brought in, but
are we making our dollar go far enough?  If we'd waited the qts would have
been ready now to pot up to gallons and we could get more for them that way
at the August sale.  And yet, that's a gamble too.  So what do you think?  A
bird in the hand... or Don't be too hasty?
