Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - How about just dragging a table to the end of the driveway?

I consider myself a "hobby" grower, but with the way the season is progressing, I may be able to recoup the increased water bill!

Now, if I tilled the entire back yard, I could probably do 200-300 tomato plants easy and think on a "market" scale. But, I am not there (yet), but was wondering if I just set up a table "Garage Sale" style at the end of my driveway, in the suburbs, with a very well attended Church cata-corner from me, on the weekends - what is to keep me from selling a few tomatoes?

Sort by size and variety. Generous sampling, because you have to do something with the uglies. Fixed prices for "Large" - "Medium" and "Small" per each, and then cherry per pint? A lot of talk and getting to know the neighbor's?

I could then stick my toe in, and think about real Market's in the future?

The very next door neighbor's get them for free, of course. But have told me that they would pay - not that I would allow them.
