In the FWIW catagory, I have been getting mobbed at the markets for plants. People want to grow their own, I think its great. I make up grow bags, buckets, all of it.

Seems the easier it is for the average person, the better.

Keger,

I'm curious what you charge for the larger sizes (one-gallon and up)? Thanks!

Sure Steve, 5 buck for gallon plants.

This maybe a bit off-topic, but my best looking transplant this year out of 34 differing varieties is... Texas Star. If you're growing (transplants) for market you gotta grow this one.

They are all darker green, stockier, better looking, under the same conditions, than all others I'm growing.

I sell about 15 varieties of heirlooms on a couple of tables along side a semi-rural road.
I charge $3.50 each or 6 for 18.00. They are in the 4" square black pots and I write the
name on the pot with white pencil. I need two major improvements for next year. I will need
about 2000 seedlings and a way to transport 50% more plants in my pickup truck. Also, a
business card with each purchase instead of cards available on the table. I get lots of calls
from folks wanting more seedlings due to the biz cards. My biz cards say "Thaddeus Quincy
Tomato, PhD, professor of tomatology, Heirloom University."
