I’ve been packaging up seeds this week. Hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow I’ll have some listed on Etsy, it depends on how many interruptions I have to deal with.
I had been putting it off because I couldn’t get my labels to print right. Well, the ones I ordered from other people on Etsy were packaged in printer paper that was folded over and taped shut. I nearly spilled the seeds trying to open it to see what they were, because they weren’t labelled at all. Suddenly, hand-written names on little coin-sized envelopes doesn’t look so bad :)
This year I’m selling Red Kuri Squash, Tennessee Sweet Potato Squash, Climbing Triple Crop Tomato, Opalka Tomato, and Dragon Egg Cucumbers. No T-Squash this year, although I should have enough next year to sell. For every seed packet I sell, 25 cents willl be donated to my mom’s missionary team. (She’s also going to be selling them at her church as a fundraiser.)
Over the summer I’m hoping to get the labels thing figured out so it will look more professional, and I’m also hoping to get a website set up where people can choose from a list of charities to support with their purchase. We’ll see. If nothing else, I should have a wider selection next year, since I’m planting a lot more this year.
Other than that, not much happening on the gardening front. We’re still under a blanket of snow, with more expected.
That’s great progress!
