We drove over to nearby West Cork town to a carboot sale on Sunday morning.
The online info said we could set up from nine. I am one of those people who hate being late and we got there by eight. Are you like me or are you always late getting anywhere,
The car boot sale wasn't supposed to start until ten.
Little by little the world and his wife began to dribble in and I was starting to think maybe we might sell some plants?
An hour later and a few browsers conversations later and me telling folk my usual etymology of my plants to people and how to propagate and care for them. We still hadn't sold a bean or a plant.
More of my hedging, phormiums and perennials. Every plant there I had either propagated by cuttings or division.
Eventually we started selling and in due course engaged in gardening conversations and I could possibly have gardening leads to weed and restore and possibly plant two gardens up.
We took 72 Euros minus the sales pitch fee and ⛽️ diesel. If I could make that every day I would be a very happy bunny.
My plant prices were 2.50 for big perennials and 2 Euros for smaller ones. 2.50 for potted griselina and 5 Euros for phormiums.
Have you been car boot selling lately?
