People sometimes tease me about being a "bad salesman". Whatever.

And how do I even begin to describe the flavor of fennel? Or okra? Or lagenaria squash? Sometimes I say, "It'll only costs you a dollar to try something new. If you like it, I'll have more next week. Oh, and by the way, I have seeds to sell.".
Actually, I think your comment about only a dollar is a great selling point. Stating you don't like tomatoes is also something that many would find amusing or funny since you grow them, but also as something you are being honest about with a customer.
