The first of my spring crops are on the heat bed, toms, capsicum, chilli and eggplant. I'll put another 20 varieties on the bed in the next couple of days. I have 170 varieties to sow this spring. Veg, herbs and other useful stuff. I'll end up with hundreds of excess that will probably end up being thrown out, one of the problems of living in a more isolated spot. I might sell a few but I'm not really interested in running around after people to collect. I'd rather barter if I can, straw, poop and stock feed are welcome swaps. Won't hold my breath though as no one has really been interested in previous years. Although that might change a bit as I've seen the prices being asked for stuff in hardware and nurseries this year.
I'm going to start looking for someone local who'd like to do a bit of work in exchange for an almost unlimited supply of plants, they might be interested in selling a few things at a market or something. This place has everything you need to go into full scale wholesale production (I ran a production nursery for 20 years
), needs a lot of cleaning up and some hard yakka to get it running again but not much $$ needed. I've tried this before and the biggest hurdle is finding someone who has any kind of work ethic or an ounce of reliability. Will try again though, I won't find any one if I don't keep looking.
