the pots are gone. 
          
          well i managed to move the flower pots out of the greenhouse to maximize space for plants . cleaned a bunch of pots of weeds and generally just spent time trying to catch up on all the things i couldn't do by myself and give myself a jump start to next weekends grand opening. i have  pots of all sizes up  to mammoth ones for really large trees that would require a tractor or a forklift to move around. anything or size you would like in black pot sizes. have a few hanging baskets available also.
         i would like to thank those who have helped me get this far, and first is james , he was there when we  tore it down and rebuilt and put up with my oh so pleasant attitude. i hope you learned a few things from the experience.my brother Jim also deserves a big thank you as he was there also, when i took the greenhouse down and when we put the plastic back on . my nephew roger was also a big help. next would be lucy who i so hoped would be here on open house day , but may not be for personal reasons. she helped me plant , gave me inspiration to move on with this project and someone i enjoyed spending time with. kathy also provided me with flowers and cuttings and i also enjoyed her enthusiasm about gardening and wish her the best. janet showed up today and helped with weeding of the pots and we had a nice visit. thanks all for being a friend and helping out and hope all can make it to the open house.and of course mom of whom i couldn't forget on mothers day.
       she has been there from the beginning when i purchased it at auction and has backed me all the way. today we were able to get mom to the greenhouse and she planted tomatoes for me. she seemed to enjoy being able to help out . will be looking forward to her being able to be outside on open house day and enjoy the company we will have. expect family and friends and strangers who will be friends soon i hope. 
       i have a variety of plants and if i don't have what you want will try and find it. just let me know what you are looking for. if it i a shrub or a perennial and is just a cutting will grow it out in the quantity you like. i tried to provide a variety of vegetable plants , and will have tomatoes , green peppers , banana peppers, cabbages , Brussel sprouts, broccoli, egg plant , lettuce in head variety, and plenty of cabbages. i also have arbor vitae and , a variety of hardwood an pine varieties. will be trying sequoia trees as i have one ordered and have seen them growing at oardc with success. if you are interested in any let me know and i can order most trees and grow them from bare root size to a size that should guarantee success. if not just bring the tree back. like to see you lug in that sequoia after a couple hundred years. i digress , but come and look and just enjoy the day . take a walk , check out the pond and my carvings. but mostly just enjoy life. 
        again thanks to all my help and hope to see you there as you were part of this also. thanks for sharing. 



        finally found a place to rest these pots. moved them 3-4 times.
