What's a fair price?

The plants are coming along quite nicely now. One of the cell packs did get knocked off from the top shelf to the ground, probably by a wood pigeon or magpie, so now I've erected the patented bird defence system. I found a couple few rogue sweet peas popping up amongst my chilli plants (I reused the compost), so transplanted them into cells which only had one plant in.

Happy to say that all of the sweet peas have been sold, pending someone picking up the last 2 trays tomorrow! I also sold 10 perennial wallflowers that I had taken cuttings from in the autumn. There are quite a few varieties of perennial wallflowers I haven't heard of before, so I may buy some of them for propagation purposes.

Next I will try cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers and dahlias, depending on germination etc.

Last two trays in the photo below, so you can see how much they've grown. The ones on the shelf below are my own that I haven't got round to planting out yet.

I would snap your hands off for those!

This year I sold 20 x 9 cell trays (autumn sown) and 20 x 8 cell trays (winter sown). Same price of £5 for ~20-27 plants. I mostly advertise on Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace. On Gumtree my advert had 102 views and I made 2 sales. On Facebook Marketplace my advert had 324 views, messages from 5 buyers, but only 2 sales (the other 3 just stopped replying   ). Most of the sales have been through word of mouth. 

Every time I list on eBay I get people who live at the other end of the country buying even though I don't offer postage, list it as collection only, and say 'COLLECTION ONLY' in massive letters at the top of the listing description.   They always cancel a few minutes later and I give them a refund. 

The seed was contaminated with vetch again which meant resowing and transplanting.   I did contact Premier Seeds about it but they just said there's an acceptable contamination rate due to how they're grown, something I wish they'd mention when selling the product...

The size difference between November and February sown plants is huge. I think I would sow a bit later than November next time because they got too big for the modules.

Next up is aquilegias. Most of the packet germinated so I have quite a few of these left to shift , even though they've been quite popular so far. Selling them for £2 per pot or 6 for £10. They were originally in 6 cell module trays, but the heavy rains over winter compacted the compost so much I didn't want to sell them like that, so I moved them into into 9cm pots.

A very good rootball there!

What potting medium do you use, TMTT, homemade or bought? If homemade what recipe?

Homemade but it's predominantly bought. 80% peat free compost, 10% coir, 10% worm castings or homemade compost. Also add 6g of blood/fish/bone per litre of compost since peat free compost tends to run out of nitrogen quickly. The peat free used for these was Westland.
