Big Dig

 
Mum sales are going good enough that we have made our orginal investment back. Now we just need to sell more to pay for the tiller I purchased too. Linda, Stacey and I went to the patch this morning and dug a black trailer full, Stacey and I pulled them home and unloaded them into the red trailer. Then we returned to the patch and picked up the ones Linda had potted while we were gone. We headed up to the house after unloading those into the red trailer. Linda fixed us some hot ham and cheeses sandwiches, but while we were eating Regina called and said she need 4 for a lady that had stopped at the Center On Aging (C.O.A). After finishing our lunch we loaded up the desired mums and took them to town. We set them in front of the C.O.A. and talked to Regina a little then headed home. We went back to the patch to dig some other colors and replacements for the ones we had just sold. We were still digging mums when Regina stopped and said some women had seen the mums setting in front of the C.O.A, and she needed about 6 more to take with her in the morning. We told her we would load them in her truck a little later, as she had to get on home for someone to hook up a TV for her. We dug another black trailer full, about 20, and set off for home. We watered them in the creek and I pulled the trailer over by the wagon in the yard to let some of the water run off before transferring the mums to the red trailer. Almost as soon as I got off the 4-wheeler and walked up to the house, two guys stopped and bought 4 off the wagon and trailer. Regina came over and as we were talking, two more people stopped on their way back to TN., and they bought 4 mums. It seems like the more we dig, the more we sell. We were trying to get the red trailer full to take for a 'yard sale' Saturday. They are promoting the 'yard sale' along SR 90 from Cave City to Sommerset, so there should be lots of traffic. We are going to try to locate in a small park between the creek and highway in Marrowbone. I figured it would be easy for people to pull off there and maybe there will be lots of traffic that will stop for our mums and the other stuff that people will be selling. It maybe too crowed for us to even setup there, who knows. I told Linda if we needed to water the plants, we could just walk down to the creek there, dip out a bucket of water, carry it up to our spot and take care of the plants that way.
