New money-making idea

January 13th, 2009 at 02:23 pm

I don't want to jinx myself. But, I have ordered tons of seeds for my garden. I will be starting these indoors late next month.

If more of these veggies turn into viable seedlings than I can use in the garden, I am going to sell them for $1 or $2 per plant on Craigslist.

I'm growing some interesting varieties that often sell for $4 to $10 plant, so it will be a deal for whoever decides to buy.

Of course this all depends on those seeds starting!

    Not a bad idea!! If you have any perennials in your yard, you could also thin them out and come up with some starter plants to sell.

    Yes, good idea, especially if your little plants are healthy and hardy. Good luck!

    Sounds like a good idea. You could also possibly set up at a farmers market if they have one in your area.

    I figure it's worth a try. I have a moderately green thumb. And the money I save on veggies more than makes up for my seed investment, so this would be extra.

    Just check your local codes first. An elderly man here in town got busted for advertising in the paper and on craigs list because he did not have a $25 ag license.....(issued by the health dept)

    Our farmer's market each year has people selling seedlings.

    Fun! If you need a warm place to start seeds, the top of the refrigerator works well.

    baselle--wonderful idea! I always put mine on tv trays by the window, and every year some kid knocks one over.....thanks!

    But only for a few days - seeds sprout well on top of the refeer from the warmth, but once they are up and going they need light.
