Jay,
Based on your Tumbling Tom recommendations last year. I potted up 20 pots as a trial. I am so far, very pleased! They are cute and starting to get small tomatoes already. I plan on taking them as part of the early market season. Although I think $12 is a bit on the cheap side. Could be my high rent district I live in though. I saw at Lowe's the other day, a small 10" pot with several small lettuce plants selling for $10! Wow, really? It was like a very small patio planter. If they had put in an eatable flower it would have been more attractive.

Not alot of answers here, but I am going to sell tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and squash this weekend. My single plants in 1801 flats will be $2 and my four packs will be $4. The squash and cucumbers will be $1.50.
My prices may be alittle high, but the greenhouse in town charges $1.99 for a smaller plant in a much smaller container. Their 4-packs are $2.99 in tiny little containers. I am also growing many heirloom varieties, 47 to be exact.
I know my costs and I know my time I have involved and $2 and $4 works for me.
I will also be selling hanging baskets of Tumbling Tomatoes for $12.
Good Luck!
