Sam and Kayda Selby of Wiscasset come every spring to Morris Farm’s annual plant sale. As usual Saturday, they got the heirloom tomatoes.

Pittston’s Jeff and Brenda Blodgett had never been to the sale.  But they said they’d seen an ad and the sun was out. “I said, ‘I’d like to go down and try this,’” Jeff said as he loaded their new plants in the car. Brenda picked up advice, too. “There were a lot of very helpful people,” she said.

Everyone interviewed, including Morris Farm co-president Merry Fossel of Alna, liked the weather the event got. “We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day,” especially after such a gray week, she said after showing Boothbay Harbor’s Marion Coleman around some of the plants in the barn. All the perennials were donations, Fossel said. Coleman told her which plants she has had luck growing since moving here from Texas and which ones she had “completely failed at.” 

The sale also had vendors, including Beelicious with bottles of honey and King Family Farm with aprons, Christmas stockings and other shiny items, all made from animal feed bags.
