I guess I want to add to this discussion that all of our vegetable and
herb transplants are in 1801 cells (3.5 inch pots). We sell them singly
for a good reason. Vegetable transplants sell for $1.50 each, times 18
in a flat, $24.00. If we were selling six packs for even $2.00 (and at
our market they usually sell for 1.50) times 6 in a flat, $12.00.
Double the money for the space used in the greenhouse, in transport, etc
and not much more cost. And, most of our backyard growers don't want 6
of any one variety, they want 1 or 2 of several different varieties.
And, if folks bring us the pots back, we recycle them until they fall
apart. They fit in a standard 1020 flat, and we display them in that
flat on a custom built table that Paul designed that holds 18 flats at a
nice slant plus pots across a top member above. It knocks down flat and
goes up in about 3 minutes.

I was wondering if anyone in the group sold plants at their farmers
market.
If you do, what do you start from seed and which plants are started from
plugs you buy?
Any pointer on how to transport plants to market?
