Everything left at the Friends School Plant Sale is half price today! I walked through the whole sale last night (oops, I have to admit I didn’t check the Rare Plants booth) and I’d say there are substantial quantities of many of the varieties we originally listed in all areas.

There are nearly 200 hanging baskets left.

In herbs, there is basil left but I have to say that at least some of it appears to be cold-damaged, even though it is indoors. (The outside cold comes into the unheated building.) But other herbs are still good-looking and available (gee, that sounds like a dating service).

Vegetables — and especially seeds for some of the varieties — are in pretty good supply. (Yellow wax beans, anyone?)

Lots of annuals. We think impatiens must be waning in popularity because that stock is particularly high. And no one seemed to want to try the large oleander tropicals in the back of the annuals — I think only a few sold.

Perennials offer a wide selection. Not too many hostas, but generally a wide assortment of other plants.

Although I made no attempt to count them, I’d say we’re well stocked with lily bulbs and daylily roots as well. (No asparagus, though!)

There aren’t a lot of clematis left, although there are some in the climbers.

Outside, there are quite a number of native wild flowers and grasses left. Roses as well.

The fruit is also fairly well stocked — particularly apricots and peaches.

Shrubs are more spotty — some have stock while others are gone. (Of course, that’s true throughout the sale but the larger spaces in the shrubs make it more obvious.)

Like all half-price sales, this one gets a bit nutty, but there are definitely deals to be had!
