Yes, basil sells and it is easy to grow from seed, I also sell cilantro and a basil combination six pack for $5,00 dollars. I grow a plum type tomato called " Rio Grande " that is excellent for salsas. I have an e-book that I sell for $3,00 dollars and it is full of tomato recipes. So I try to grow plants that I have a recipe for it. People just love to try the recipes and guess what? they'll buy those plants too. All the recipes in the e-book are my own and I make sure I include lots of pictures. This past week end was my biggest sell ever , we sold over 600 plants in three days plus I don't how many e-books and I still have some plants left over that I transplant to bigger pots , those plants will go on sell on the long week end in May. I love this hobby... :)

A basil and cilantro combo pack - what a great idea! I understand you live in a rather small town? Selling over 600 plants - people must have come from miles around! And your e-book - impressive all the way around! I hope you will post more tomato and gardening tips here.
Thanks, and yes I do have people coming from small towns that are close by , also I do have a few that buy 50 plants at once because all they want to do is grow tomatoes for sale. People know me and know how I grow the plants, plus they don't have to go to the city which is an hour and a half. The e-book is a simple one , I only have about 14 good recipes with pictures, that's it. Any one can do an e-book then you burn it on a cd or give them the Dropbox link to it , that simple. Growing 600 to 800 plants is a lot of work that is for sure, and you have to have the room. In my case I start a bit later around March 25th , as the weather heats up I start using the greenhouse that I have.
In the picture above , I only have a quarter of what I grow each year...but this is a nice hobby for any one that what's to make some extra cash.
I also have Kindle books on Amazon under " Marcel Victor " but I'm working on the links right now to change them to instant free bonuses and not the newsletter. I have some trouble with my autoresponder service and it made a mess with my gardening funnels, this makes me so mad..
But any how, thank you again and I will try to post some more gardening ideas later for any one out there interested in gardening.
