   S.S. I look forward to your post everyday. I wanted to tell you of a good book on small scale market gardening. Maybe it will give you a better knoledge of the business. Its called "Backyard Market Gardening" by Andy Lee and Patricia Foreman. Its a highly rated book and teaches all the ins and outs of selling your stuff. You shoule be able to get it in of the major book stores or on Amazon.com. Good luck and even better luck next year. Gooley

   Thanks for the information. I realise A person cannott expect to make A living growing on 1 acre and selling at 1 market. It is good experience though and I am now developing A plan that will fit my budget (which is tiny!) With only A couple of acres I think dense planting in A greenhouse is goin to be the way to go. Potted plants and herbs sell good and sell for more than produce. Veggies will always be my favorite though, this just mean I get to keep them all for me!
