Thank you all SO much for believing in our farm & our channel. You guys bring so much joy to me
Pheeew I needed this to pop up. When I'm having a tough day. You and or Jess brighten my day 😊
I couldn't agree more! 😊
I was just thinking the same thing!!!
It’s funny you mention that new gardeners are less intimidated by flowers. I find flowers to be the scariest. This is my third year growing veggies but first year growing flowers
I thought I was so smart planning my 'salad 6 pack' with lettuces, green onions, & small varieties of cucumber and tomato. That bouquet pack idea is ingenious.
Jill, thank you for always so selflessly helping others. You have helped me tremendously and I am doing my first plant sale this year. Thank you will never be enough.
Hahaha all the activity behind you! 😃💕
That’s cool that you’re Using a biodegradable pot option for your seedling sale. I use plastic trays/pots but I like to reuse them. so the deal at my sale is, if my customers choose to bring back the trays/ pots that they purchased their plants in I give them a free plant. I was astonished how many people will bring back their old pots and then some for a free plant. I’m only too happy to give that plant to them!
That's a really great idea!!!
I've been trying to figure out a way to do this. Like a percentage off or something. The free plant idea is PERFECT! 👏👏🥰
Great ideas! This video was a gardener's marketing course gold mine.
I need your vitamin, supplement and food plan lol you literally look so young fresh well rested and so healthy. I want that so much!!!!
Variety pack is such a great idea 💡
What a great idea to grow variety pack! Good luck. 😎
Love the idea, but could you give us examples of the pollinator pack that you’re talking about like what flowers are you doing for the bouquet pack?
It makes me SO happy that you see and are broadcasting that the cheap single use plastic is better even with them being cheaper, it is not only the more ethical option, but it can also be a selling point that you Are selling earth respectful products. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for using biodegradable pots for your for sale products. 😍😍🌱🌱🌸🌸🌎🌎

Wish I could make it to the plant sale but I’ll be moving into my new property in North East Arkansas that weekend. 1.5 acres of blank slate I can’t wait to turn into productive land! I feel so much more prepared to start this journey with your guidance and inspiration. Thanks for all that you guys do for the community ♥️
How exciting for you ❤ Congratulations!
Hey Jill!! 💛🌱🌻
Hello friend ❤
Loved your idea of salsa pack and dill pack etc. I can see me grabbing that in a heartbeat. How about an Herbs de Provence, or Italian seasoning set . Lots of ideas now. I can see a great year.
Oh yes-great ideas!!!
I'm doing those for my yard sale
Support my food forest for those in need
I like the idea of you selling your plant starts in the biodegradable containers! Definitely going to look into using those for our garden!
The variety pack idea is brilliant. I wish I lived close enough to get them. I live in the city so the only option I found was big box stores but using my waiting room for a classroom like Jess always says. Good luck and keep up the great work and teaching us as you go. Thanks.
Starting my first plant sale this year! Thanks for the tips!
Yay! Hope you sell out of everything
Hello Jill and Everyone 🌸💕🌸
Hello Jasmine
Variety plant packs what a wonderful idea! I know that they will do well for you🌻💜🌻
Also Irish ☘️ herb pack👍
Love this! My daughter and I shared tomato and pepper starts with friends and family last year. We gave them a paper that we wrote telling them the date the plants were sowed, when they sprouted, when we started hardening them off as well as some troubleshooting tips to watch out for throughout the growing season. It was such a sentimental and sweet thing for us. :)
Hey y'all, I bet the plant sale would be so fun. Too, bad I live so far away. I am really seeing you in your potting shed now. It is a familiar structure but it is yours now and you look like you belong there it is not you in someone else's potting shed. I make sure everything gets used until it is unfixable or all used up. I use rubber bands and zip lock bags over and over and over some ziplock bags are 15-20 years old in my garage and shop.
I like the idea of the six pack being theme Italian 1. tomato 1. oregano 1. basil 1. thyme 1. flower 1. flower. would be a great six pack for example.
I am so excited for this year and just starting seeds indoors anxiously waiting for the time to plant outdoors. God bless y'all take care bye for now
I, for one, would buy cross-polinated flower seeds . Guess I love surprises with flowers 💐 😍
Hi Jill that's what I did last year I did zinnias marigolds and sunflowers last year this year I'm doing tomatoes bell peppers jalapeno peppers and lavender and onions and garlic and a few more veggies
I was just thinking what a beautiful person you are inside and out and then you dropped all that good stuff at about 19:00. You have already taught me so much about gardening but also about the meaning behind all of it and so much more. Thank you for all that you do. May God bless and keep you. 💗
Thumbelina zinnias would be great for your daughter's garden. They are a short variety, only take 40-50 days to bloom (in my garden) and they last ALL summer. They were great for me last year. Got the seeds from botanical interest.
Thanks for the tip ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement.. so sweet! And thanks for the tips, I can get started with this, selling my first plants within a few weeks! :)
Your always infectious positive energy makes these vids a must see. Thanks sharing how you do plant sales!
Good luck with your sale👍👍😊
That variety pack is such a great idea! I hope I will be able to find something like that in my area.
Add a pepper in the pickle pack!! Love it!!!
Salsa pack and pickling pack; awesome idea!! Love the idea of a back yard variety packs. Thanks
Backyard bouquet 6 packs are a great idea! Can't wait to see more footage of your sales!
Thank you once again for such wonderful information.
Great video. I got my state license to sell excited to try it out. Wish had a farm & understand your target audience but don't forget us home gardeners.
As an experienced grower i I am wondering how the quality of the plants held up with cow pots?
Part of the reason plastic is used is because it works.. but i love the idea of biodegradable pots.
I love that you are trying to have a good environmental impact on the earth
Thank you, it's very important to us
Great great video!! Valuable information. I'm so excited about SPRING!!! 🌱❤️🌱❤️🌱
Hill, I love your videos! You are always so encouraging and have such great ideas!!! The variety pack is brilliant!!!
Thank you for the kind words ❤
love you'all, been watching since the beginning. love it all. you guys inspired me to start my own channel!
So encouraging and some helpful info. We're still brainstorming for our farm and have been pondering selling at the local farmers market here in Seminole, Oklahoma. So these were some helpful tips.
Any chance in your next video that you can talk more specifically on how you start carrots. I struggled with getting mine going last year.
I had great success my first year so my second year I took over one side of my property and failed royally 🤣 I just planted out some of my seedlings 🌱 let’s see what happens go big or go to the store 😅
Seriously love your content! Been thinking about selling starts in the next few years 🙌🏼
I love the variety pack , what a great idea , I may borrow it next year for my first plant sale 🥰🌻🙏🏻
I spy Dahlia and Simba! 🤗
And Nathan haha!
Hey Jill lots of good info on how to hold and going to a plant sale. The Witch House Garden (named by my kids because it used to be so over grown they thought it looked like a witch house) we are going to try to hold a plant/seed swap. We are inviting friends neighbors and family to bring extra seeds, thinned out plants, starters, bulbs, ideas and knowledge to my urban garden. We are hoping this small event will help others build on the gardens they have started and encourage others to put their hands in the soil. We are starting lots of seeds. And a goal of mine is to also place more garden art, seating to create ideas for them to take home. Good luck with your sale and the conference!
I went with Cow Pots this year as well! I have up-potted tomato seedlings in the 4”. So far they are doing well. I will probably plan to save some cardboard boxes or paper bags if they seem soggy when I take them to the farmers market.
I dream of having my own cut flower farm, this is right up my alley! My growing season is super short up here in zone 4a... elevation 2,200ft. So, lol, I plan on trying some flower seeds ahead of time this year so maybe I can enjoy them longer. Just enough to get started, then I'll just sow more outside after the ground warms up. I found a 6-pack of pods from marigolds I bought last year and I'll be using them. I wanna sell plants but don't think I have what I need to do it legally, so I'll have to look into that. I'm gonna watch your older videos to see if maybe I missed some information. Takes money to get started I know that much lol. I love your videos, you bring so much joy and your smile is contagious. Looking forward to more information and advice on flower and general plant selling business... you bring up so many points that I wouldn't have thought of, the info cards are such a great idea! I love the multi-pack idea, I noticed a lot more people interested in growing their own cut flowers in their backyard and that's the perfect idea... same for herbs and greens. The biggest issue in my yard is powdery mildew on my flowers (and Japanese beetles) that ruin the foliage... I'm not sure how to prevent it or make it stop. Anyway... Hope you're having a wonderful day! 🥰
Great advice thanks
Great tips!
I really wish more people would do variety packs I'm sure there are a pain in the neck but for a person especially living in town or something they usually don't have a lot of room it's like I like to plant a little variety of tomatoes but I don't have room for six of each variety but I may have room for two of several varieties maybe six plants tops. That would be very beneficial to me and when I go to the greenhouse I've got to buy like singles of each and usually they're bigger sizes and more expensive which kind of cuts down on the idea of variety
I started some seeds and some got pretty leggy. I’m just ecstatic I actually was able to do it. Lessons learned in my first time doing this and I’ll buy some if needed to replace those. Getting our raised beds built this weekend.
Depending what you started, you can save you leggy ones by planting them deeper with more stem under ground. I’ve done that with peppers and tomatoes before I had a good light set up.
Light is the key. My seedlings before I set up grow lights were so leggy I couldnt even transplant them! This year I used regular desk lamps with LED bulbs, not any special setup but it worked great!!
I love all this information ! How would you price a pollinator pack?
Depending on what's in it and maturity of start, I wouldn't go lower than $6
I'm probably going to have to restart my bed after years of neglect I still have garlic chives! Not much else a couple piddly things. Which herb seeds do you feel are the best to just direct sow would like to cut down on costs a little bit on this also and that may be a way. Thank you for making my day enjoyable
Hello good morning how are you
I grew and gave plants to friends/family last year for their gardens. When I was talking about what I am growing this year I was told “Don’t plant so many cause I can’t take yours.” Apparently I’m the reason the got pests in their gardens in their mind. How do you address people who say something with this attitude?
Pests have to do with your soils ecosystem and not your plant starts
How much water do you put in your bottom tray when you bottom water your plant's? Thanks Jill for all the knowledge you have past on.. Very much appreciated!!!!
If your tray is level then I wouldn't put more than a 1/4 to 1/2" of water
This is my first year starting extra seeds to sell. Some things are varieties that I personally love and some are things that people recommended. How do you go about pricing your plants? That’s my struggle 😕
I think it depends on what you use. If you use organic soil and good containers then don't price yourself too short. Don't try and compete with Bonnie Plants or any other big name. Hope this helps. Email me if you have more in depth questions.
I live in central Arkansas and would love to have some sun gold tomato plants. Will you be selling them? Thanks
What about plant cell = Mexican, Italian, Greek🤗🇨🇦
When selling plants, how many of them do you put in one pot? And is it the same amount for herbs, flowers, and veggies? Thank you ☺️
How much are you selling variety packs for?
@Jill
I am want8ng to start selling plants. And I was wanting to know what are the let's say the top 10 most important books and or people, resources I can get for free??? I say free because I do not really have an income to work with at this time, other than EBT/SNAP.
All the help I can get is greatly appreciated.
I had a bunch of seedlings I sow in milk jugs, and Sunday night march 17th the seedlings got way to cold and I am having to start over, there are just 2 or 3 seedlings that lived, so I will be keeping them for self to save seeds from. I cried Monday morning when I found my seedlings dead
