I will often buy annual herbs from our local greenhouse because I only want one or two plants and so it is easier to buy those herbs rather than grow them myself from seed. Most often I buy rosemary and chamomile but you could include other favorite herbs like basil, sage, fennel, marjoram, oregano and tarragon. How about young onion plants? I wonder if there would be a market for young onion plant that are big enough to transplant into the garden successfully. I ordered a bunch this spring and had excellent results but I had to buy quite a few plants before it was worth the shipping cost. If our local greenhouse sold transplant-ready onion plants, I would definitely buy them. Good luck with your venture and let us know how it turns out. -- "To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves." M. Gandhi |

Thanks for the input.Yes herbs,peppers,and I can also do onion plants.Now Dahlias, I had forgotten about,so they are on the list also.I have the set-up just want to make sure I include what people always want.This is a great start.I have an order already for 200 Wave Petunias,they have bought from me before,(golf course) .At a buck a plant in a 4 inch pot,well developed,they say they cannot do better anywhere. Thanks again, any more ideas would be welcomed. -- Southwestern Ontario Canada Zone5b |

I always buy petunias. Sometimes, since my climate is warm, they will reseed but usually they don’t so I buy them. Petunias perk up any area. Every year I plant squash plants in my garden. I usually don’t start my own seeds for squash because it’s so much easier to buy plants. -- The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet |
