For Sale

The Helpful Gnome is breaking into sales this season. We anticipate selling at the market next year, but this year we planted extra to sell a bit out of the house. We're selling potatoes, catnip, and lemon basil. It's all organic and grown from organic seeds. Lemon basil, for those who have not tried it, is a very potent scented, flat leaf basil that smells like basil and lemon pepper.

The basil and catnip are dried. They are sold in $1 pouches, with a Gnome label. Here are pictures of the pouches:



For potatoes, currently, we have both All Blue and Sangre. All Blues have a dark blue/purple skin and light blue flesh. They retain color when cooked, so you can make purple mashed potatoes, purple french fries, etc. The Blues have a rougher skin with some brown, like a russet. It's not dirt, it's just the nature of the skin. The Sangre's have a thin, rosy pink skin and white flesh.

We're selling the potatoes for $5 a sack, which is approximately $2 a pound.






If you are interested in purchasing basil, catnip, or potatoes, email the Gnome at helpfulgnome.gmail.com

  1. Looks like you guys got a good crop - hope you get a good feel for the sales. I enjoyed watching the cat with the catnip. I remember growing up - my mother buying catnip and they would go bonkers with the stuff - sit there and just laugh. Hopefully you'll be the one taking the email orders Chelsea - lol. You guys take care and have a wonderful weekend.
