Aww, that's too bad about your barrels. I did that with mine, although I thought I'd drained it. Nope, I hadn't, I just convinced myself I had :/
I do remember Sonya bringing some anemone as well, I will hope she brings some again and I catch them before they're snatched.
I think you're right about the pre-trade plants. Anyone who goes to the snack table sees them and the plants are bigger than whatever signs we have! There's some kind of dumpster surround near the back door, maybe we could fit the pre-trade plants in there, but we'd have to make sure a custodian didn't need to get in there. We could put up big signs on the dumpster surround saying "PRIVATE" :)
I will think more about this and maybe come up with some other ideas.
