Forgot to add my dumpster diving story.

A few years ago, a local small nursery appeared to be giving it up.
After a visit one day, I noticed thousands of brand new pots in the dumpster,
trays, cups, all sorts of brand new planting goodies. Well, if I'm not mistaken,
once it is in the trash, it is free game, right? So I drove back on Sunday and
loaded the truck up from the trash. Still to this day I'm using the pots and trays.

Oddly enough, the same guy was selling plants again all too recently. I can't
remember which plant, but hubby asked the price. The man quoted
something outrageous, hubby declined. The man asked what hubby would pay
for it, hubby gave him a lower amount, yet still very fair, to which the man replied
"I'd rather throw it away than sell it for ten bucks."

Hubby walked off laughing, thinking we would just take it out of the trash when
he does.
