As a consumer one thing I would want is variety in a 6 pack. For instance, instead of 6 scotch kale maybe 3 scotch 3 dinosaur. Or for the marigolds maybe 3 white with 3 yellow. Just a thought for something that would pull me in.

I would love to see you offer a small discount or bonus plant if people returned the pots to you. It encourages less waste and less garbage, and keeps people mindful of the plastic they're throwing away. Also keeps people keen to see you again :)

I have had something on my heart to sell plant starts for a few years now. I am not a master gardener by any means. I opened an LLC in November/December of 2022 with plans to give it my first try this year. Wish me luck! :)

My husband built me a greenhouse last winter. When I planted, I planted too much, so I sold my extra from my greenhouse. I plan to do the same this year. I’m a terrible introvert so it was really hard. I sold way to cheap, lesson learned.
Thank you so much for the pep talk 😊🙏🏻

With being on disability this is something I can do and I really NEED to. Hahahahaha Thank you for all the teaching and inspiration you give us! Your the BEST!!!

I was thinking of doing this and then also in the end of summer fall when people don’t have access to plant starts. I think that might be a cool way to maximize how much you can make. Big box stores don’t offer plant starts for fall garden plants like cabbage, broccoli, Brussels ect.
Just a thought that I was having last year when I was trying to do a fall garden and got a late start and was looking for started brassicas

Great information thanks for the positivity and encouragement

I'm sure you've heard this before, but your voice sounds sooo much like Dolly Parton. Love listening to your helpful info!

I have been doing new things for 2 years now and this will be bigger and even more new things. I have been so excited and yet scared at the same time. I would love to offer starts. I may need to find out if I need a nursery license before I can do that.

I cannot thank u enough! Last year was my first attempt at selling plants and covid messed me up. BUT the lady I buy feed from told me to bring some plants (yes in tacky solo cups!🙄) but hey! I made $500 plus and then spent it chickens/equipment/feed! Lol I’m tickled she’s asked me to do again this year and I’m spiffing things up! It’s the price where I get intimidated. We have some thrifty folks in East Ar! But I have church family that I can give to also so there’s that! Love ur videos!

I have never had a white tomato 😲 so cool!

[lindamckeown]

Last year was my first time selling starts. I found that many people who bought from me had no idea how to grow veggies. They just wanted to give it a try. Others only wanted the standard hybrids that they knew about like Better Boys and Beefsteaks. I was selling mostly heirlooms and they were varities that I loved and had grown for their special taste. I added some of those hybrids with the familar names and people were happier. I guess you have to know your customer base. I just wanted people to try some great tasting tomatoes. Herbs did really well as well as sunflower starts. I'm looking for a new place this year as the place I was last year is not availble to me this spring. Our farmers market in town requires you to have a business license and pay 30.00 per market. That cuts way into my profit and they have a lot of rules about how you set up and signage. The are way too regulated for me to enjoy.

[Mrsamandabaity]

Yes on the cleanliness. I have passed at markets because the person selling does not present themselves professionally...and even a farmer professional look. Cleanliness is key!!

[naomitate]

Planning to do this this year as well.... First time! Lol.... Self Confidence has hindered me from making my 1st YouTube.... Will be out soon.... This was a good pep talk

[LaMoynihan]

Thank you. I’m thinking about doing this and love the information!

[aristevons]

Wow little lady you are simply awesome!!!!

[pizzamademedoit]

Valuable video. Thank you so much. I'm starting a small operation this spring.

[charliehoos]

Please grow parsley and cilantro 🌿. I couldn’t find them even in the grocery store last year. I’m growing my own this year, but I plan to give pots of them to loved ones because they’re cold hearty ( and delicious). 😋. Great too for rabbits. Settles their stomach from any stress. 🐇

Hey Jill! You mentioned taking detailed notes about your garden in a previous video, would you be willing to show us what type of information you record?

[journeyoflovelight]
