Re: OT?: Farmers' markets...
Thanks for the tips...coupla questions -
1. What types of flowers do you sell? I presume you grow them
yourself...do you start them from seed, or buy seedlings, or...?
2. You say you make about $250 on a given Saturday...of that, how much do
you have after costs, etc?
Thanks again!
Jason
