I have been doing this on Ebay for going on for 2 years now and am hoping to pack in work now and set up properly as a business.

If sent bareroot or in a little soil, many varieties can be send first class as a large letter from 95p for up to 100g or £1.26 for 250g.

Important thing is to ensure the packaging is right and the plants will get there as good as they left.

Most things I sell are surplus stock or cuttings or things brought on myself from seed but will be widening the choice I have in the coming year.

are you going to pack in a full time job??


also are you selling a certain group of plants, sedum, fushia etc or do you just started taking cuttings from your garden plants?


I understand if you don't want to answer some of the questions, or if you could pm me some of the answers..


as I am genuinely interested...


thanks

Bit late now maybe, but I notice Waitrose are sell in F1 tomato plants for £4

Nice work if you can get it

People can buy 8 of mine for that...

Err.... sorry.... 6 ...the price has just increased.

Still, on the positive side, they sell Franchi seeds.

A couple of years ago I saw a couple selling decent size strawberry plants at a car boot ... loads of people were buying them!!!

I would imagine getting people to buy seedlings/plants is no problem at all, making a profit on it seems unlikely unless on a very large scale.
