Big Van, just remember people shop with their eyes more than their mind.
The table with lots of green will pull people their way.
Your story might get some sympathy/sales, but they don't know that 100' away as they walk by your table.
Take whatever you got that is green. Put your best up front and wing your side tables with the smaller stuff.
It's early, so desperation has not set in with buyers, but in my experience, people will buy whatever size they can get their hands on when "today is the day I'm buying my plants".
Don't worry about size unless its a 10 day old seedling or something.
I have some 3 week old seedlings in 4" square pots that look awesome.
What size pots are your plants in now and what age are they from sowing?
If you are not happy with size, you still have a healthy green plant to sell, right?
So sell it and sell your selection or varieties that nobody else has. Put up a big arse sign that says "40 Heirlooms to choose from" or "We have Dwarf Tomatoes!"
Or something like that which will pull people in.
