Waiting for People to Buy my Aloe Vera Plants

Yes, I managed to get most of my aloe vera plants repotted, and set up nicely in the front porch. I even spray-painted several dozen yogurt containers - some in blue and some in beige, for the smaller pups or younger aloe plants. Then I have put some of the very smallest ones in plastic glasses so I can give them away as freebies to those who buy the largest plants.

Yesterday morning I was still scrambling around to get some last minute touches done, and a sign with the prices on them for the wall. I also posted about this sale on Facebook and on Kijiji.

But I waited all day and got no customers at the door.

I have a chiropractor appointment this afternoon at 2 pm so I plan to zip out and be back as soon as possible.

However, I've added a warning to my announcements that a city crew is coming to repave this street starting tomorrow and hoping to finish on Saturday. That means that potential buyers have to park on Ave. I North, or on Ave. J North, and walk about a block or so to come to my place.

Ah, I made a "Plants Sale" sign a few years ago. I need to find that and lean it on the tree near the street. Maybe the paving crew will come to buy some plants - at least.

I'm including a photo here I took yesterday of how the front porch looks with 3 shelves full of plants.

My plants already filled all my windows... what will I do if I have to bring them all in and find places for them by my windows? (With the repotting they have multiplied and take more space!) I cringe at the thought that I may have to throw some out! My conscience cries out "No! No!"
