How do you know when the Plant Lady is having her annual plant sale? She puts out her pink sign that reads, “Plant Sale Today.” It’s under the trees on the edge of what’s left of the Calitri family farm. You can’t miss it.

If you catch the Plant Lady at the right time of day (we didn’t), she looks like something straight out of the 1960s – a cigarette hanging out of her mouth and pink curlers in her hair. But even in blue fleece her lemonade-stand style business is a throwback.

She had set out 44 varieties of tomatoes under patio umbrellas in her front yard, but by 3:00 on Saturday, there were only three kinds left: Apple Juice, Orange Punch, and Tropical Fruit – according to the Stew Leonard’s cartons they were potted in. The eggplant plants (just $1 each) have been growing in styrofoam coffee cups.

If you hurry she may still have some petunias and hot peppers left.
