I was talking to someone about this the other day. She mentioned that the market she went to flowers went very well, while basil would go for fifty cents a bunch. Her reasoning was that in that market/area the people like things that are showy, so a bunch of flowers they can walk around with and show off in a vase at home is worth more to them then some produce. This is for cut flowers.
I sometimes do hanging baskets and sell them on Memorial Day. Certain colors go better then others. I still haven't figured out how to predict what will be hot though. The only tomato plants I can sell then are the ones with blooms or fruit, but they will go for a good amount.
