Keep us updated on how your recuperation is proceeding. Wish I could assist you more in the growing area. Until I retired my background was sales, merchandising and marketing.

Just an idea, but you may want to take some of your best plants at the opening of the farmer's market and explain why you are running slightly behind because of the surgery. Most will understand and sympathize with your plight. I would offer to take orders for delivery of the plants in a week or so. Up to you whether to take a deposit for future delivery. But at the minimum you can get a name, tel. # and email address. One additional caveat, many of these potential customers plant annually. You will have obtained a data base for future years to market your products...Good Luck my friend!
