I was just yapping saying next year have more Garden Plants.

I was informed with a small operation more Flowers.

I'm thinking ok start more cuttings and seed.

I had a customer ask about price on one deal of Flowers? I told him $20.

Like I said I have 5 Plants in there plus soil and Nice Pot. Breaking even.

Ok if I'm going with Flowers. Put one plant in 4 or 6 inch Nursery Pot.

Question are they right on Flowers? They said most people get Garden plants at big stores and Flowers smaller operations.

Do I want to use mostly Nursery Pots?

I give away my surplus tomatoes and peppers; grow 12 keep the best six. But I see tomatoes on sale at big stores which I would put straight in the compost. Plants which were not good in the first place and have been stood on a shelf without watering for the last few days.
I reckon you should be able to win on quality once people get to know about you.

Around here they bring tomato and pepper plants way to early to put in the ground . Only way I would buy plants from big box places is if I could put it in the ground soon as they have them out but that's impossible to do around here in mid-March.

Well my wife and Son didn't want to start when I did and sell Cool weather plants so basically I had bunch of unsolvable Cabbage plants.

Now my Tomato Plants are too big.

My wife went and bought 40 Chickens now she has 30 some Eggs 7 days a week but not pushing Eggs.

I told them I have bunch of Worms push them.

I have no say I guess Billboard Sign is setting on the Pickup was to be put up yesterday.

Me I was geared for first of March they were for Memorial Weekend.
