you all know i am packing up. so the garden comes up starting next warm day. my blinders are on my head is down and i see good things ahead. girls how can i sell these plants?can i offer them to you all at farmgirl prices so we all benefit. i dont need to get rich. i want them to go to good gardens.i love you all. if i can sell here that its ok? then how do i do such a thing. strawberries are first. i wish i had a rhubarb for kris. my neighbors over spray killed it last year. roundup.the berry plants are small babies and could ship bare root. they are a june bearing. so i need to move now. we are cold here so they only have their first spring leaves. no bugs.i think i could band 12 in a bunch bare root and sell.any ideas/ i have no blog site and not very smart doing such things, if you thought that was the way. i could learn thanks farmgirls happy days sherrye

Sherry-

I would recommend just having people send checks or you could sign up for a paypal account. What about price of postage and then another $5 per bundle of strawberries? I assume you will ship with moist newspaper or something to keep the roots alive?

Sherrye- You might get more attention with this post over in the "Marketplace"

Maybe you could offer a special rate for a flat rate box- :)

I would suggest that after wraping in something moist put them in zip lock bags.

Sherrye, I would absolutely love to buy some of your plants!!Someone mentioned perhaps a USPS Flat Rate shippingboxes- you can ge them free at the Post oFfice- usually priority mail that ship for a flat rate... I would be happy to pay for the shipping and whatever the additional cost of the plants would be...
Would love some an assortment if that was possible...Lambs ear, daisies,strawberry,coreopsis,sedum,hens and chicks etc
Please let me know what your decide to do. I will send you an email too... I wish you the best of luck in everything!
