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!

Jay
