Selling tomato plants for profit

When was the last time you shopped for tomato plants for your garden? If you had not started your plants from seed then you could be paying as much as $12 a plant for one in a 5 gallon container.

Have you thought about growing tomato plants and then selling them? If you have a greenhouse or even a small cold frame you could grow and sell young tomato plants to gardeners in your neighborhood.

Find a location or locations to sell your plants. Ask the owners of vacant lots if you can set up a mobile plant stand. Sell your plants to co-workers where you work. Look for local craft fairs or school run sales and ask about renting a booth. Park your car or truck near another roadside vendor and take advantage of their customer traffic.

Price your plants way below what you can find in stores and plant sales. You have no overhead costs to worry about. People want bargains and you can provide that.

Happy growing and selling.
