It's spring! Yayyy!!!! The weeds are taking over my garden! Yikes!!! Mr. Oft has posted the daylilies that will be at his annual garage sale!! YAYYY!!!

Here is the link to his page: http://www.ofts.com/bill/yardsale.html Mr. Oft is a daylily hybridizer, and every fall he divides his plants, and pots up his extras. On the Saturday before Mother's Day, he holds a garage sale at his home in the Garden Oaks/ Houston Heights area and sells them for fantastic prices - so he can buy more daylilies!

The garage sale starts at 7:00 am sharp - which means you really need to be there by 6:45 so you can get in line. Yep, there's a line! Usually he has dozens of daylilies, so everyone finds something to buy - or several somethings. But... The first year we went he didn't have very many at all, and they were all sold in 90 seconds flat - and I am NOT exaggerating! You can ask Vossner! She got there 7 minutes late, and they were all gone! That has been an exception, though... This will be the 6th year a group (or sometimes just me) from DG have met there. It's a lot of fun, and the daylilies are gorgeous!

A couple of years ago, a pretty large group of us met there, and then went to breakfast and went nursery hopping in the Heights. Would any of you like to do that again?
