Greenhouse sale

A large (ah, too large) greenhouse, nursery, garden center is having an liquidation auction Friday.
Actually the bank is holding the auction.
There are 9 greenhouses up for auction. 3 are huge growing houses, rest are temporary houses. Hoping they are something we can use & go cheap!
Here's a link to auction bill.
Looks like they only lasted 5 years!
To big to quick!!

Click on Sept 30 auction.

We got our other new/used one home today. It was 22 X 40, but we are going to stretch it to 60 ft., by spacing hoops at 6 ft instead of 4 ft. We will be growing vegetables in the ground in there, alas, a high tunnel system.
I will be adding pictures next spring when it is in operation.

Edit to get link right.

Good Luck on the auction!!

I wanna be like Bernie! :)

Sheesh,, Just went to actually look at that auction.. I wish I were closer! It would be very tempting to go and bid on some of their stock!

Back from the auction. Truck load of shrubs. We are going to put in a line of shrubery along the ridge of our field. It will act as a water buffer in heavy rains & a snow fence for our drivway in the winter.
Anyway shrubs went cheap! I bought 46 for $40.00. They sold them in groups of about 12-15. Most expensive group was $50, & that had a bunch of fancy lilacs in it.
Potted perennials went higher, roughly $3 each, still in groups though.
The 3 big greenhouses brought $2000.00, $2750.00, & $2750.00.
They were 30 X 150 each, so a good buy. The portables were shopping center type houses. They went from $1100.00 to $2750.00.
Also as good buy for people that needed those. They were from Poly-Tex. Included all the benches & doors.
Most pots & soils went way to high. High gloss clay pots went for nearly retail price, as did shepards hooks & other iron things.
The place also had done landscaping, so tools for that sold, again way higher than you would expect for used things.
This was a bankruptcy deal, so the creditors came out fairly good.
