    I had such a great day. Made some money, made some new friends and got lots of compliments on my plants. Was asked if I would be there next week- yes yes yes. Don't think I could do it every week cause I'm exhausted, but it's the good kind. Sold about half of all I took.

    I'm so glad the farmers' market was such a success for you Donna. I'd have been buying from you if I'd been there as your plants look so healthy. Here's to next week-end being just as good for you. :setc_083:

    Donna, be prepared to be inundated with buyers next week--folks will see what others got from you and want more, more, more! Rest up and enjoy your success--you deserve it.

    This is great, Donna. Your plants look awfully healthy. I am so happy for you that you were so popular. Way to go! I hope that you do not become too exhausted.

    Thanks Sjoerd. It's only once a week, so I think I'll be ok. If it becomes to much I'll just stop going.

    Say Donna-- if you think of it or have the time why not post a few pics of your market. I am always so interested to see this sort of foto because I do not know of many markets like that here.
    I Speak for myself, but I know that everyone here is really proud of you and your market venture. It is sort of like taking gardening up to another level.
    Chapeau miss!
