Literally just thinking of this
Where did u get that greenhouse at?
What medium are you using in the pots?
This is a great video. Thanks for the money making tips!
Can’t wait for your next book! The first one really helped me get started with my small garden.
Can you show the actual process of rooting, cutting, dividing, etc.?
This is brilliant.
Very informative video. Thank you for the tips. I grew a lot of seedlings earlier this year to get ready for April planting and most died off. I believe it was a combination of the grow lights and my not knowing how to fertilize after germination. Can you give a tip on when to begin fertilizing the seedlings and what type of liquid fertilizer you use on them? Normally I use liquid fertilizer Agrothrive once transplanted but don't know what to use when they are still seedlings that I need to keep growing for a few months til spring. Any tips are appreciated 🙂
My squirrels are like little farmers lol. I have oak trees popping up everywhere! I was thinking I should dig them up and sell them 🌳 Great idea to propagate perennials and sell seedlings. Thanks!
good
Great video!
Great idea! I have Wild Berry Coneflower volunteers growing in my garden that could easily sell 😊
What are those tall purple flowers close to the apple tree?
I have issues with mice in the greenhouse in winter and eating everything
Great one.
Thank you
I'm preparing for it. I'm in a rural area, aka out in the boonies, so I am going to start small with about 225-250 plants to see how it goes. If successful, I can expand the following year, and so on from there. The question is how many of what plants? The people in my area aren't familiar with anything but the basics, so with peppers, a good producing bell pepper, banana pepper, cubanelle, and jalapeno. For tomatoes, maybe a classic beefsteak, and Super Sweet 100 cherry Tomatoes. I'll probably throw in some pickling cucumbers, and maybe some zucchini and crookneck squash to fill the table.
Does the cutting have to be rooted in a pot? Can it be cut and put in the ground to root even though the season is getting colder? I have a blueberry that has a branch of top bushy limb growing straight but the middle part has about 4-6 inches of stem with no leaves. I thought maybe I could cut it and plant to make another bush in ground. Can it survive and set roots in the ground before ground freezes?
Thank you! Great ideas, great channel!
Another interesting and fact filled video, Thank You! Unfortunately (?) we give all of our stuff away. Were we to take some of ours plants to sell the Farmers Market does not start here until after the 4th of July? Liking your Greenhouse. I cannot find a link to it. Could you possibly share as to where you purchased it, Thank You!
Oh Gary, you got me thinking. Told myself i have nothing then i remember my lemon balm is spreding like wild fire suckers everywhere and they look excellent especially with all the rain we've been getting. Thanks for the FYI. Nj zone seven 😊👍
Did this last spring. Had a three day sale and made $1000. Started my seeds in feb and March indoors. Used bakers racks with shop lights and keep inside until it warmed up enough outside. I’d roll the carts outside during the day and inside at night when cold. Worked great.
This is a great overview of what people can make from selling plants themselves. It's pretty amazing really, and you only touched on a few. Earth Day is a great time to have a plant sale, and Mother's Day weekend or just before that, at least here in Oregon it is (zone 8b) I hope people give this a try, it can be so encouraging.
i wasnt doing a sale, just starting for friends and family (and myself), but one thing i got messed up on starting indoors was not accounting for increased space needed when i had to pot up. ended up having quite a few things in for too long
