I have found that "Flea Markets" are the WORST place to try to sell QUALITY.
For the most part the customers there are only looking at price and if you have something different and/or better, you will mostly just sit there hoping to make you fees back.
If you can find some kind of "farmers market" or even a craft show that will allow plants, you will not have so many only looking at your price.
It really sucks when a flea market is your only choice. You will have to "educate" your customers and talk yourself hoarse every market.
The first season at any market will be the worst til people get to know you and your product.
I have customers that always look for me because my plants are hardy as all get-out. They don't always look the best, but people know they will take off for them.
It's not easy introducing heirlooms to a market that has never heard of the varieties you are growing. But persistence eventually pays off.
