Agree Piq - am good at selling them too online and ebay so I might push that a bit this week and research prices.

I sold veggie plants (tomatoes, etc) last year 3-5 for £1

In true M & S style =

These are not just vegetable plants - these are organically grown from hand nutured vegetable seedlings, selected for vigour, these plants are grown organicallly in the pristine island environment of Orkney, selected carefully, packaged in recycled paper and dispatched within 1 hour of packing.

Package arrived today and I have started the Arnica.

You are, quite simply, a diamond.

Atta girl, let's get those labels done and it's sorted! Strangely enough, that'll be one of the things that makes the plants special (I don't work in design and marketing for nothing) Would suggest you think about a little care leaflet too.

You want to be careful with the M&S style bit because of copyright law and you might not always want to send in recycled paper, because of cost and/or convenience!!

All I can say is don't pack them up at 11:00pm if you're promising dispatch in an hour :rotfl:

I knocked the bottoms out of my old watering cans and planted thyme and mini petunia in them last year, they looked sensational!!

Hmmmm - you could be right

Maybe I need a website - [STRIKE]something to attract the deranged[/STRIKE]??

Sorry something to attract customers wishing to support a local [STRIKE]organic [/STRIKE]naturally grown girlie gardening business?

I bought some replacement raspberry canes today. Not planted them out yet. How big are your tom plants when you sell them because they sound too cheap to me!

Fay, why not start out with a little delve into selling on ebay first? Then expand as you want.

Pippilongstocking · 2 March 2009 at 6:14PM

Unix - yeah I only sell on ebay at the mo - was thinking outloud kinda....I find ebay ok for plants as its easy to do stuff - 'orkneyflowers'

Lucille - sell them at the 2-4 true leaf pair stage - about 3-4 inches tall......pipsqueaks really but they germinate so well -
