My first trophy ever!
Comments (4)Thanks all. Ginnibug- I am not at Michiana, I'm in Grand Rapids, so I am with Grand Valley O.S. And we had enough people to set up the Michiana show without me- so I've never even been to that one. I just sent the plants with someone else. I will be setting up the next show in Midland for the Saginaw club. Then our next show is our own in January....See MoreHAVE: My first trade list ever :)

Comments (6)Oooh, yeah we did have some cold nights. I have plenty of places to sink them into the ground. Can I also transplant them straight into the ground this fall? There's a bed that I'm redoing and thinking of doing a lot of lilies in, this one could be the first resident....See Moremy first market ever..help
Comments (6)Bag your mixed lettuce in gallon zip lock bags until you can source produce bags (a lot cheaper at $50 for several thousand bags (and if you stay in this line of work you will use them all). I sell heads of lettuce for $6 a pound in 1/2 pound bags. I sell baby lettuce for the same price. Spring mix is $3 for 6 ounces. I bag all my greens because they last a lot longer in sun and windy conditions than greens with no protection (which will last about 15 to 25 minutes out of plastic before wilting horribly) I put out no more than a few bags of each kind of green I am selling and keep everything else in coolers with ice packs (keep towels between the ice pack and the produce of the produce will get freezer burns) You will not be able to please everyone and simply tell the people who do not want plastic you will take the packaging back (but be clear you do not want all of their trash for recycling or you will get large amounts from some people) It is also important to get the greens cooled and kept that way until time of sale. if you don't have a fridge to store it all in, than cool down coolers with ice packs for an hour or so before loading hydro cooled produce into them. Hydro cooling is simply dumping the greens into cold water for a few minutes to remove the field heat from the leaves than spinning dry (an cheap and EZ dryer is a mesh laundry bag filled with wet greens and spun over your head.)...See Morepandora
