    The time and location have been announced (see above). I actually left the "Usually held around the middle of April, but no news so far for this year" in the description by mistake. I've never seen very much info posted about this sale in previous years. It's a wonder enough people find out about it to make it work.

    The Racheff Sale was really good. They had a bunch of neat plants and I got two large hypertufa planters for $20 each. I hadn't planned on buying them, but at that price, I couldn't resist.
