Query for the Hivemind
Sharon March 12th, 2010
Hi folks – I was wondering, do you start all your own seeds or buy at least some transplants? Where do you get them?
I’m asking because starting seeds is one of those things I do really well – I love doing it and it comes easily, and it occurred to me that I might add to my plans to sell bedding plants at farmers markets a CST (Community Supported Transplants 
…or something), in which people could hire me to do custom seed starting (from a list of funky varieties probably not available at their local nursery), and/or pre-reserve varieties that I would start for them. I’m thinking of offering groupings as well like “Herb garden in a box” or “Custom pizza topping garden.” I could offer fall gardening transplants as well, since I know a lot of serious gardeners have a hard time getting that late crop in.
What do you think? I know many of you probably do your own, but would it work in your area? I’m going to have to accumulate customers in Albany/Schenectady, I suspect, but that’s ok.
