    Yes, thank you.
    A good turn out and great weather

    There was a lot of interest in the shipment of palms and most were gone within the first hour (very good prices even for the common Trachycarpus fortune which were selling for only $55 at over 6ft in height). There were also lots of unusual hardy edibles such as pawpaws, citrus, olives, jujube and persimmons.
