Growing Plants in Beds

Today I’m going to talk to you about growing plants in beds, and when it makes sense and when it doesn’t.

Whether you are growing plants for yourself or to sell it doesn’t really make a difference. Gardeners are gardeners and we all love plants. I’ve been doing this my whole life and I really don’t know how to do anything else.

Today is April 16th and Duston and I are pushing to get things dug because once things leaf out we can’t dig them up anymore.

I have this bed that I need to clear out for more room. There are several different varieties and sizes of Japanese maples in this particular bed.

If you are just gardening for fun then you want all these varieties in a bed, but if you are growing plants for profit, then putting plants in containers and selling them for $5.97 really is the way to go.

I love Japanese maples and when we bought this property I bought thousands of them as seedlings from Heritage Seedlings in Oregon http://www.heritageseedlings.com

The seedlings I grow in a pot and sell for $5.97 and people snatch them up.

When you plant things in beds, it is a lot of hard work. It’s a heck of a lot easier to sell 20 $5.97 plants than it is to sell one $79.00 plant.

Watch how hard I have to work in this video…also watch my amazing skills at B&B’ing this Japanese Maple!
