Hello, it's Friday 13 February 2026. Are you superstitious about Friday 13th?! I hope it was a good day for you.

In this episode I continue talking about pricing. I talk about how I did it in 2025 as a year 1 grower including the market research I did and the places I hunted for prices, how I worked out my costs of production (and what I didn't record) plus I share with you what this actually meant when I grew my Cosmos last year. I contrast my Cosmos data with that of my Hazel, which I didn't have to touch except when harvesting.

I also reflect on my new attitude to pricing in 2026 and what I'll be focusing on when selling. I've also included a tip that I try to use that I learnt from other trades/businesses, which may be of help. 

In part 2 I continue my Plant Profile series by talking about Craspedia globosa. It's a super-cute and highly desirable flower that sold really well for me. I'm sharing what I've learnt about this plant and how I grew it in 2025. Please come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome.
