Carol.....I agree with most of what you say about flea markets. People are there to dicker
and I am NOT. They could care less if it is early girl or Brandywine. I just don't do them
anymore. After considering entrance fees, mileage, I get much better result just off the
edge of the road at a fairly busy, but somewhat rural intersection. You may have to educate on heirlooms, but usually not on the value of gardening. I am set up only from
about 3-6 PM to hit the school traffic and working folk heading home. I enjoy the
interaction, which I didn't find true at the swap meet. I must be becoming a snob!!

Those selling times are also my book reading times and I get somewhat caught up as I
get way behind by spending all my time on tomato message boards. Good thing I can't
pick up Wi-Fi out there!!
