Re: Birthday Pam...now Plant sales

I think plant folks come out to shop in all weather.  I remember a  freeze 
(only one that month) hitting during the MG fruit tree sale, several  years 
back.  Was our best sale ever. 
Also, the annual March Mart sale, biggest sale in Houston.....stormed  
several times, one time much of Houston was flooded....we went anyway (hour  drive) 
after the worst of it passed...thought we wer nuts, but when we got there  we 
heard that people stood in line for an hour before opening during the worst  
part of the storm.  It was so crowded....I could not believe it.  
A week ago, Sat. I helped at a friend's plant sale, it poured, but the  folks 
came anyway.
Plants don't care if it rains, and gardeners are happy it's raining.
 
Have heard about the floods and terrible rains in the NE.  My heart  goes out 
to those folks, endured flooding here on numerous occasions, it's never  fun. 
 Most areas need the rain, but that's a bit much at one time.

It's  near impossible to plan, isn't it Ceres?  If I'd had my own plant sale  
one week later than I did I probably wouldn't have sold half as much as i  
did.  And if our MG sale had been this past Sat instead of next Sat -  -what 
a bummer that would be!  I'm hoping this rainy system will move  out in time 
for thesale Sat.  So much work goes into it and we don't  get raindates.
