There is a garage sale of sorts next to my greenhouse Saturday, June 6 and I am planning to set up a table to sell an old bike and some ice machines from various shoulder/knee surgeries in the family. And some succulents. Unless I get cold feet, I will offer some of my best succulents for sale to free up some room. My propagation bowl will be A PROBLEM soon as some of the 30+ sprouts are approaching an inch high with multiple sets of leaves. Here is what I'm planning to put on the block. Sure you can get examples of these for less...in a 2-inch plastic pot that hasn't seen the sun for weeks. These are my best plants which have spent the past month in my greenhouse and the months before that under grow lights. They are well-rooted and mostly in terra cotta pots. I'll probably go right out and buy a small 'Lola' to replace the big one if it sells.

I have mixed feelings about doing this. I want to keep everything and see what these plants will do this summer, but my collection cannot be static. There is too much in the pipeline. I'm not planning on dickering; the price is the price. Maybe I'll let a Peppermint go for $3. I only raised them because they are easy to grow and the deer don't eat them.
I accept cash, Venmo and Paypal. The event is sponsored by local Realtors who I happen to know quite well.
