Re: gallon pots

Melody - no need to send pots, shipping's too expensive.
Andrea,
Actually I have never really run out of pots.  I post a sign at my own Plant
sale asking people to drop their pots on my porch anytime - and they do all
season long.  Also, people bring their pots to the Extn office for our MGs
to use.  There's usually plenty I can use if I need. In fact, the Hort ED
doesn't want odd sizes around, so I grab the quarts and bulb pans.  A
favorite size of mine is an 8in bulbpan that I have purchased a couple of
times, but they're only 23 cents ea.  Also a local nursery has offered us
lots of pots.
I think I mentioned the gal and qt because I had used so many recently and
my stock is low.  But next week when we plant our nursery beds, I'll be
getting back about 150 of my qt pots.  And gallons will be coming in as the
season progresses.  I especially like 1/2 gal pots, but those are really
hard to come by.

Kitty
