They're baby plants and we're getting out of cool-season weather on the salad veggies, so I think it'd be more fair to price them at the four-pack price divided into singles, which basically brings me back to the half-dollar, cool, thanks, Ginger.
Another question is whether leaving an unattended honour cash box/coffee can on the patio is safe(ish). I trust people to pay for the plants they take, but I'm not sure how I feel about leaving a portable stash of cash out all day unattended, where a kid or whomever could just pop the lid and scoop out the change. We're in the suburbs, it's an affluent neighborhood, but we get visitors from all over. Of course we'll collect every night. I wish we could buy a lockable donation-type box that we could fasten to a post, but that isn't happening. Maybe my worries are unfounded.
How many plants are you selling? If it isn't a huge, huge amount, I'd risk it. Will losing the money be a burden for the org financially? If not, risk it.
I'd buy those salads-to-be if I could. Nom.
Dear god, I want to go on an ita !-ish rant. Yeah, a guy at a racetrack got kicked in the 'nads during a fight. He didn't start it. He just ended it. And people are ballistic. Seriously, they are balls. Are they that fucking fragile that it's fine to flip someone in a wreck on the track or punch them in the face but stay away from the 'nads? Nascar swears their balls are made of brass but clearly they're not if this is an issue.
It seems to have the best cost-to-nutrition ratio.
The minimum price for vegetable plants is a four pack of two-inch cells for $1.80.
I love that you know these things, Ginger. That's the kind of thing I wish I thought about before i was at the store staring at the vast array of choices and trying to make a decision.
Glad the meeting was generally good and is now over, Jesse.
A local community garden sells plants that way, and I haven't heard anything about someone walking off with cash or plants.
Well, in the midst of adding themes to my gmail and making a second cup of tea just to have something to do for a few minutes I got to help someone out with my mad excel skillz, so the afternoon isn't an entire waste.
And, in other gardening news, I found the vegetable peeler that went missing last year. It was in the compost.
I feel like that happens to vegetable peelers a lot.
I just watched Pumpkin lift the brown sugar container and swing it around (she reached through the shelf and hooked the latch.) I have no idea WHY she did it, but she was damned pleased with herself.
I won't go into excessively technical details about multiple networks on multiple shared drives and working through remote connections, but I just want to state that I'm so proud of my mad support skillz just now in a situation that initially had me freaking out from the complexity. I've been trying to be more reassuring to myself not to get overwhelmed by the big picture but break weird shit into recognizable components, and it's starting to work.
