I have been volunteered

[Barmaid]

by my soon to be very beaten up future husband to run a stall at a local charity event. The theme for my stall is "home produce" on the basis that I can cook and I can garden. Beginning of June so I don't have much notice.

I've put in a few herbs which I think will be germinated by then so I could sell some titchy plants. I'm also going to have quite a few flowers left over which will be hardened off and mature by then. How much do I sell them for? Don't want to be too expensive, but also want to make some money for charity.

Given that nothing will be cropping by then, I was thinking of knocking up a few sponge cakes and a couple of fruit cakes or banana loaves - again - how much do I flog them for?

Finally, I was going to do some chutneys - red onion relish, spiced apricot chutney and beetroot relish and a couple of jams too (I clearly have too much time on my hands). These will be in the small (half size jars). Again - how much?

Any other suggestions gratefully appreciated. (I'll do this on the basis he has agreed to be my kitchen slave for 2 days so it will be worth it).

Yours the (soon to be) domestic goddess.

Barmaid - whatever you are going you bottle / jar - have you got lable design sorted out?

Can you afford the silicon to become domestic goddess?

I like Tony's idea of repackaging something in attractive containers.
