This winter I have a fun new project, Kim subjested it after I told her I wanted to sell native plants at the farmers market. Make a plant sale in front of our house in St Paul MN.
I'm going to try and properigate the native plants I grow in my yard and sell the seedlings mostly to people in MN. ( don't know if you can legally sell to people out of state/if you can then great.) Here is the list of plants I will grow from seed Swamp milkweed Joe pie weed White turtle head Black eyed susans Butterfly weed purple cone flower/ NATIVE FURTHER EAST- (note the native to MN ones are still too young to make seed) milkweeds/have to check for seedpods wild burgamot canada cloumbine Anise hyssop I was thinking around 3 dollars a plant for pricing.. and maybe having the sale in early June on a weekend. Spread the word to ALL your gardening friends in MN have them PM me on here if they want either seed from a plant on the list or come to the sale for plants next year. I will gladly give them my email/phone number and address in the PM Plants that do not get brought will be donated to nature centers or planted in another garden at our other house. Will keep Wildlife Gardens updated In the offbeat chance I cancel this idea or plans change. Last edited by TheLorax; 07-13-2012 at 08:32 PM. Reason: typo |

UPDATE!!.
Due to the fact money for me is too tight to spend on anything other then needs right now. I have decided to cancel the sale. ( reason being it takes alot to get the seeds ready,pots, soils ect I just dont have money for. I will still collect and sell seed if anyone is intrested from the plants listed.... let me know? |

I'm up for the challenge, as I'd like some of that flower too. We don't get coons here, too developed and besides our yard is fenced in. I'll PM you my address and tell my staff I got something coming in the mail to help me with seeding projects.

Deal!!! I'll start keeping my eye out for a shipping box. The trays are long and narrow and I've been using every box I could get my hands on to layer over grass for a new veggie bed I started so I don't have anything I could ship em in to you at all.... I'm totally wiped out. You'll see what I mean when you get the pro trays and other "goodies".... we're talking oddball size trays that won't fit in standard size boxes. If I can't find anything that's a decent fit in the next month or so.... I'll just put it all in a large box and try to pack it well.
-- You may not have coons but.... God throws curve balls so don't be counting your chickens before they're hatched. ![]()

The only problem is I need a sieve to collect and seperate seed from the adult plants. Without that it will be harder to get clean seed, none of my friends have one now, but Nancy (Friend who goes to my day program) subjested I talk to you and to anyone else on here about it.

You're on your own getting sieves..... I could use a few more different types myself. I used to see them at rummage and garage sales all the time. I stopped seeing em for sale soon as I wanted more for myself.
