Cole, what a paradox. Living in tomato heaven! But can't get a good price there. 
I went and read the wiki about Illinois. Interesting, and a big step up from Illinois = Chicago, the lake, draw a blank. I am completely ignorant when it comes to geography so thanks for the push.  If I keep talking to interesting farmers and gardeners I'll eventually have some concept of all the places in the world.   |
Thanks, yes I did make it. I used all recycled pallets from my workplace with a piece of luan on the back. No cost to me. I used chalk paint on the 2x4's to be able to change the bins from week to week. I will be glad to send out a pdf file of my drawing plans to make this once I know how to attach them to forums. I designed this setup in autocad, but saved a version in PDF format
BTW-my seller sold my tomatoes for $4.00# and I would say I sold 150# for him today. I truly feel for Cole to only be able to get $2-$3 per pound in his area. I do understand how difficult and competitive some markets can be, but my concept is to offer the unusual different varieties and to be able to differentiate my tomatoes from other common varieties.
