I'm too old to think about growing peaches, so I'm thinking, blackberries,melons or weed  |
Big Box grocery stores sell a ton of cherry tomatoes. You have to educate people that yours are tastier and don't have chewy sausage-like skins. Give one out as a sample and you can make them feel obligated to buy from you. Be sure to point out that commercial fruit/produce is often ripened artificially with gas.
