Would like to share good idea with everyone.

I just thought this lady was adorably brilliant! We who garden know that our plants have to be separated every so often. We have to give starters to our friends or move them. Our plants just get too big! Well, I went to a garage sale the other day and this lady was having a typical sale except she was selling starters of her perennials for a dollar a plant. I thought this was brilliant. I said to her this is a wonderful way of trimming back your plants and getting some of your hard work money back. I thought maybe she had made 50 dollars or so and when I asked her how much she made, she replied "$750", wow! Over a weeks time. Gardening gone brilliant!

That is a good idea. How did she store them? or lay them out to be bought? All bulbs, or other types?

Accually she had starter containers and just dug them up. My mom got an iris(bulb), the lady told her to go home and plant it. However mom is going to dry it out and plant in August:) I thought it was a great idea!
