What Do You Do With Extra Seedlings?
Comments (18)For four years, I did a booth at several local farmer's markets. I got into it because I had so many plants left over from wintersowing after I gave and swapped alot away. The hard part is finding a farmer's market that doesn't already have a plant seller, or at least one that didn't sell what you have to offer. I stopped because 1) two other vendors in my main market started carrying the same plants in the same sizes I was selling and 2) the new markets were charging too much for a booth. If you can overcome 1 and 2, and you still like the idea of selling (and making money at it) you have to also check out the answers to 3) does your state or county requiure a liscence to sell plants (Maryland does not) 4) convincing the market that since you are not selling food and have no employees, you don't need an expensive insurance policy 5) figure out how you are going to package your plants to sell. I got 3, 4 and 6 inch pots for free from swaps and generous neighbors as a way to recycle the plants. 6) figure out how you are going to label your plants, keeping in mind the large number of novice gardeners you need to sell plants to. 7) figure out your costs and prices including soil, seeds and lebels (ink if you are printing them out on your computer) Finally remember that early in the summer, the produce growers usually sell flowers and vegetable starters and hanging baskets until they have produce to sell. I made good money and some new friends my first three years. The last year, I just broke even and decided that it wasn't a worthwhile investment of my time. But for a few years it was a nice second income. I know other s just do a plant "garage sale" which is easier if you can get the traffic....See MoreHow long fo you keep a fan going on your indoor seedlings?
Comments (9)I run a fan at slow speed for a couple of hours per day. The temp is kept at about 60-65 degrees. The result has been short, stocky plants that transplant nicely to pots. Other years, I have simply run my hands over the plants a few times a day (like the scent) and had results that were not that much different and saved a bit of energy. Would be interested to hear other opinions....See MoreFans! Why do you use them?
Comments (28)You folks must produce a great deal of body odour ... if you can't stand your own smell! You'd have a hard time hearing a burglar who came to visit while you were asleep ... also, during the day, possibly, if s/he were skilled at operating silently. In summer I sometimes like a fan operating nearby to move the air when it's really hot, but usualy not blowing on me if it's moving a substantial volume - no A/C. If blowing on me while I sleep, I may end up with sniffle, or somewhat stiff joints. In winter, when I have the temp. in the mid to low 60s, I like to have a heater fan aimed at my computer spot or easy chair, operating slowly so that I don't feel breezed upon. Different people like different operating systems, don't they? ole joyful...See MoreRemove fan light in MB. Now what do I use for general lighting?
Comments (10)I would not put pot lights in a bedroom get a nice ceiling fixture to use for all over light and to add a bit of pizazz I agree that bed needs much more tailored bedding and the drapes need to be heavier to really work in a color that works with the new bedding. A random pillow with no connection to anything else in the room does not work. Go find some bedding that you love and build your color scheme around it that is how I always design a bedroom there is no reason to be boring with neutrals, It would also be nice to see the whole space too. This is what I mean by more tailored bedding and pillows that connect to something in the space...See Morestruwwelpeter
