Is the Patch Half Empty or Half Full?

Linda has been working everyday at the school and it has been left up to Stacey and me to sell mums during the day. I received a call-in order for 14 bales of hay, 14 mums, and around 20 small pumpkins Monday. I asked if I could deliver those Tuesday, the girl at the bank stated she 'had to have them' and Tuesday would be 'too late'. I said OK, I would call her at the bank when I was ready to deliver them. Luckily Linda, Stacey and I had a wagon full already dug from the night before. I started by backing the truck to the front of the hay shed and loaded 14 hay bales, then I hooked up the red trailer to the truck. I pulled the trailer to the front of the upper barn and loaded in 18 mums. I loaded extra so the girl would have a few choices. I picked out the small pumpkins and placed them in a tray and set the tray in the back of the trailer. I called the girl, then Stacey and I delivered the load of mums, pumpkins and hay to the Cumberland County Bank and the girl bought everything I had loaded, so we set it all out and headed home. We came home and went to the patch and dug some mums to replace the ones we had sold. It was a good thing we did, because that day, I sold $152 worth of stuff before Linda came home. Of course we had to dig more mums once Linda was home to help. About half of the mums in the patch are gone as we have sold nearly every early blooming yellow mum. The butterscotch color is almost gone and the early blooming dark maroon color has done fairly well also. We have sold two thirds of the white with yellow centers we planted, they were the worst developed of any color, but people still bought them. I doubt the rest of those will sell. The two types of purple have done OK too, I estimate half of those have sold. Some of the mums are too big for potting, so we are selling those in cardboard boxes for people to replant in their yards. They are as big around as a half whiskey barrell. We have started digging the later blooming yellow mums since running out of the early blooming yellow. I've ordered more pots from Louisana, including some larger ones. Hopefully, those will be here late Friday.
