All we have in town is walmart, so it's easy to compete. People were very excited for these tomatoes. One person came with a list her husband made. He was a retired farmer and couldn't grow lots of crops anymore, but he could garden. As soon as he saw my post, he was online researching the varieties I had listed. I sold them for $2 each, and buy 5, get one free, so most people came with $20 bills and got 12 at a time. Next year, I'll grow tons more. It worked really well to grow them outside in the bins. I took them in on freezing nights, and left them out cracked open all day as long as it was over 45 degrees. Eventually leaving the tops off and leaving them out overnight. No lights to mess with. I might do all my tomatoes that way next year.
