Looking at the vast array of seeds in my collection, and thinking back over the many times I've handed them out to friends, schools, kindy...well, it made me think when I came across an entry in Nadja's Blog about onselling seed for both herself and Greenpatch.
My garden's seeds are viable (as proven in my window boxes) and there's always a small demand isn't there?
Maybe nothing huge but that's the joy of living in a country community where once or twice every month you can flick open a card table at a fete or market or church sale.
Is this an option for me?
Could I be a seed saver in the future?
And how about that article I read about growing and selling herbs - which, hey, I could do?
I mean, let's face it, I don't have ANYTHING to show for it yet, but I just bought myself a 'vermihut' online and 3000 red, blue and tiger worms so I could even sell worms for people's gardens and fishing...hypothetically.
I could be a garden entrepeneur!
I could sell herbs and limes to my local pubs, lemons to the local fish & chip shop, I could set up a herb stall at the local church stalls and package up my little seeds (let's face it, I'm more likely to let things go to seed than get there in time to sell the actual produce).
But what about all that waffling around with camel-hair brushes and gauze boxes and paper bags rubber-banded over the heads of onion flowers? Am I up to that when I haven't even got my random peas in the soil yet?
Oh, the big dreams.
But, it's something to think about eh?
