75 plants ? kill with kindness , half , 37 left . Chuck at least half again on to compost heap . Learn from this year . Don't waste time and effort on Toms that you don't need/require. Plenty of other tasks to get on with . My numbers , 4 G.D. in green house and two hanging baskets . Any more would be growing for all the neighbourhood.0

I agree with Foxglove. Put a wee table outside the house and sell them on to passersby. I have grown lots extra this year to pot up and sell at the car boot for my allotment fund. My dh will take them in a few weeks when they are big enough.
I live at the end of a cul-de-sac, or I would be selling them outside my house too.
BTW, I am also giving some away to friends and family, nursery etc.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
(he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...:D:D

Donate the excess to the school after potting on, lots of mums will buy one or two plants at pick up time, and your kiddies school benefits, and you are seen as a hero mum.
I would defo ask around a few local schools as it is definately the in thing to get kids "growing their own". If they don't use them like that they will probably be having a summer fete or simular soon and could use them to sell. get free pots on freecycle or use up old food containers washed out.
