Hello Mike

I do not have any tips or hints for you, but I do have some questions
of my own. Sorry if it appears that I am hijacking your thread.

My questions relate to the feasibility of doing ths on a small scale.
I have been tempted down that route myself, then I look at the prices
in the mainstream outlets (DIY sheds and Garden Centre chains) and
wonder if it is possible to make a living in this way.

My conclusion was that there is room as long as you go down the
specialist route. So you become a well known name in the Gladiolus
field, for example. You do Glads and not much else, You therefore
attract people who want something special and you avoid competing head
on with the mass producers.

Have you managed to sell any of your production yet. Who to, friends
neighbours ?

How do you plan to get your name known?

Do you have a 'day' job to support you through the quiet times?

Its a fascinating idea and one which will attract more people as the
down-shifting exodus from the metropolis takes off.
