# Kind of a sad day today. I’ve been reducing my hoard to have more…

_Posted by Phil on 2026-10-10_

Kind of a sad day today. I’ve been reducing my hoard to have more time with other endeavors. Over 200 last winter. Down to about 110 if I sell these plants. I have plants and furniture and a few odds and ends out for a community yard sale. But everyone is buying plants! I’m sad to get rid of them. Some I’ve had for years. But everyone has nothing but praise for them, which makes me feel good.

Agree!

If someone else loves them and has time for them, that’s a noble thing to give them up.

I can imagine it's tough letting them go. Giving away small/rooted cuttings is for me is easy, but the parent plant is so much harder.

But it makes me feel good that everyone remarks how beautiful they are.

Wish I could shop your collection, Phil. Beautiful!

Thanks for all the positivity. It was a terrible day for a community yard sale. Very few lookers. But I sold over half the plants. Made over $200. I was worried about my pricing but everyone paid the asking price. Guess the rest will either be going on Facebook marketplace or maybe I’ll do an illegal HOA yard sale next weekend.
