The going rate for most garden plants at my farmer's market is $1.50 per 6-pack. What I do to make more money is simply have larger plants and more unusual varieties. I get $5 for a big tomato plant in a gallon pot. I sell medium-sized plants in plastic cups for $1.50. One thing I do to get more money out of people is "bundling," where I offer four of my $1.50 plants for $5. Every customer who buys more than one will get four to get the deal, and I end up getting $5 out of the customer instead of $1.50.
