Are your looking for work at home income? Do you want only part time work at home? If you are ready to make the jump to a work at home business there are many to choose from. You can check for online information for home businesses or you can go with your own idea.
With spring just around the corner this is a great time to begin a starter plant business. Starter plants are the beginning of a large vegetable and flower garden. In order for a garden to grow well starting plants indoors prior to outside planting your garden will be well on it’s way before the traditional spring planting time.
Check with your local home and garden improvement center for supplies and information. Your local library has all the information you need to study up on how to start plants for gardeners. Check out only a few books at a time and do a quick study. If you already have gardening experience you can start right away.
Buying your supplies on a budget is possible if you limit what you are going to grow. You need containers and these can be purchased as sets with as many as two dozen plant spots. Use only two to three seeds in each little container. As the plant begins to grow you can remove small plants until you have only one good plant in each section.
Water according to directions. Do not over water. Make sure you place the plants in a warm area near a window with as much direct sunlight as possible. It usually takes about 4-8 weeks for the plants to reach transplanting size.
For the very budget minded you can save containers and recycle. Empty cans, egg cartons, ice cream containers and just about any other small container can be used. Purchase a good starter soil for your seeds. It doesn’t take much to get your plants started. Use good drainage.
Start with plants like spinach because the young leaves are most often used in salads. They won’t have to be transplanted if your customer does not wish to grow a garden. They can place the plant on a window sill and use the young leave daily.
Green beans are another great starter plant. There is a large variety to choose from so each customers taste is supplied with their favorite. From yellow wax beans to the standard and tasty green bean these plants are a good seller.
Tomato plants are always in demand. There are so many variety to choose from, but limit your choice to just one or a few different kinds. Use cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and beefsteak tomato plants.
Offer your starter plants to neighbors, online advertising, word of mouth, fliers at the local store and even farmers markets in your area. This is a great little business with a lot of rewards and with careful planning it will supply a part time income year round.
