Jenny asks…
I have a large bag of supermarket potatoes that have sprouted. I have only ever planted the ones you buy in garden supply stores, will these produce a good crop of potatoes?
Yes, they will produce potatoes. But you will have to leave the potatoes out in the sun for a few days before you plant them. They put a chemical on the potatoes that helps to keep them from sprouting, putting them in the sun helps eliminate the effects of the chemical so they will sprout.

Starting a e- commerce store with a drop shipper whose products are fences and garden supplies.
I find that for big, heavy stuff…UPS GROUND is the way to go. If you mail heavy garden supplies through the US postal system, it’ll cost you a fortune because of the package weight…think of what it costs to mail books if you try to send them by first class or priority, and package weight is the only criteria USPS uses to price the cost to mail.
UPS GROUND, on the other hand, specializes in heavy boxes and bases the rate on the size of the box, rather than the weight. My opinion is that Fed Ex is good for getting small letter type packages places fast and DHL’s forte is overseas shipping (import/export stuff). Best place to get more info about these services:
Donald asks…
I sell seeds online (mostly fruit and vegetables) and people from Canada and the UK are interested in buying from me. I know I have to have permits to ship seeds internationally, but most online garden supply stores offer overseas shipping so it is possible.
I’ve called the postal service and asked for resources but they weren’t sure where to go, and I’ve also visited the government websites for the countries I want to ship to, but never found any clear answers.
Does anybody know where and how I can get the permits?
