I sold a loaded purple ghost pepper to day to three young people, I believe they were Chinese. They mulled over the flowers, but did not buy them when I got the point across that they were annuals, after a broken English conversation. A girl picked up the ghost pepper, paid me, and was walking off when I tried to tell her, "Hey, you know that's hot, right? You understand? Hot?" I think she got it, but I'm not positive.
More zinnias in late August - I am breaking all the rules. |

Cole, how much did you charge for the peppers? by the piece or in a basket? I planted 15 plants in the high tunnel and they are beautiful but what is a fair price for them?

Sadly, just $3, as was everything on that table. I have lowered prices as the summer progresses and demand dwindles.

WalMart got a late shipment of zinnias in 6 packs after they had already cleared out their greenhouse of all but Angel houseplants. The flats were gone in two days.
Yours are beautiful. Did you sell out? - Lisa |

after the success of selling annual flowers over the Summer months I think I will start some intentionally next June for Summer sales. I was absolutely amazed to sell them. and all of them were people who had spots that just needed a little color where something died or just a spot of color in the yard or to replace a hanging basket that died from neglect ...

From this past weekend, it was a 4 hour market and sold over half of it. That's 16 cases!!
This is a bad pic, the sun was so bright I couldn't get a good one. ![]() I'll have only 2 free weekends till Dec 15th. That many festivals and markets to close out the year. The next big one will be the Omelette festival. https://www.giantomelette.org/

Nice table, very attractively arranged. And nothing is going to go bad if it doesn't sell.
I know what you mean about the sun. Some of my best table pics are on cloudy mornings. |
