1. So, do they split the proceeds 50/50? And what about all those helpers? Do they have to be paid? A whole plant for $1 sounds like a good deal. We’ll buy some if R or J brings any along?

2. Heh. I bear all the risk and the cost, and Daniel provides some of the labor. It’s a great deal for one of us, although I think I am getting a lot more joy out of the actual growing of the plants than is Daniel.

   We figure the green pots cost us about $0.15 each, and the peat starter disks run about $0.10, if you factor in the cost of the seeds as well. Add about $.20 worth of dirt and let God grow the plant, and you’ve got a 6-inch tomato plant, ready to sell for a buck.

   Too bad we live on a cul-de-sac.

   I’ve been scouring the municipal code to see if we’re allowed to sell our plants on the right-of-way out on the main street — so far, I can’t tell for sure. We’re not allowed to block foot traffic, nor are we allowed to construct any kind of a semi-permanent stand on the right-of-way … but there is a great corner near our house that I’d like to try. Sometimes people leave their for-sale cars there …

   If Daniel and I are going to hit the big time with our plants, I guess I need to register a business license. Actually, I have one, but it is for software development. Not sure I can make it stretch to include tomato plant sales.

3. Great product and great price! I wish a lived close enough to buy a few. Have fun selling!

4. I want a plant. Jerry says he’s only planting 4 tomato plants in the garden this year. I will believe it when I see it!!

   We had lots of tomatos last year- so very satisfactory. Good for you and Daniel, Tim.

   Love you, Aunt Kate

5. They did such a great job on the sign!

6. I literally despise tomatoes, but those kids are about the cutest. I’d buy some. really, that means a lot coming from me.

7. I’d like to buy a couple. Will they ship to Maui?
