I have a greenhouse here in Pa. that has the 12 packs of over one foot tomatoes for $3 a dozen . The hybrids are 6 pack for $3. Why they sale so cheep I don't know but the plants are very nice. You could put them in 4 inch pots and get $2 a piece. The price you also sell at depends how nice the plants are. I would say $3 a 4 pack and 2 for $5.

Take pictures from the catalogs that are blown up to a bigger size to show what they are buying because most people have no Idea about the type of tomato! Off brands or heirlooms like green tomatoes sell great.

Even a mix of 4 different kind in one pack also sales! Start some small boxes of mixed tomatoes that are starters like 6 inches high maybe 3 dozen in a old box and sell them for $10! Sunflowers also sell great!
