....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.
