    Had another fun day at the market. I was really surprised at repeat customers. I had two that came back because they liked my plants. One lady is a pastry chef and wants all the herbs I can grow. She gave me her card and asked me to call when I have more. My big problem now is I'm running out of stuff to sell. I'm tossing around if I want to make homemade breads and hot pepper jellies.
    Lady next to me was selling Fairy Gardens. Thought you would like to see them also.
    Forgot to take pics when all the vendors were there.

    Great pix. Looks like they had a lot of cool things. We went to our local farmers market Sat. But they didn't have many plants. I did buy gladiolus bulbs

    I'm really pleased for you Donna. Getting repeat customers tells you just how good your plants are. Are you going to set up a good sized herb garden now then? I also like the thought of you making bread and pepper jellies as I think they'll sell well for you too.
    The fairy gardens are impressive and I hope the seller made a good profit on them.

    Gorgeous plants, congrats on the repeat customers!! The Fairy gardens are adorable. My oldest would like the little ones in the shells, she has a beach theme in her bathroom.

    Nice piccies, Donna. You are doing so well at the market. It was thoughtful of yopu to include some pics of the Fairy Gardens that your stand neighbour was selling. I do wish that you had shown fotos of other stands though....ach, but that is the price of success: no time, right? chuckle.
    That was good news that the one lady wanted all the fresh herbs you could supply. You'd better get yourself some seeding cells and make room in your fancy greenhouse.

    Chapeau, madam.
