Still no takers! I took some advice and slashed the prices of the bouquets and made some "Bath Teas" and potpourri. I set up about 8am. My neighbor decided to park his truck right in the line of sight to the main road (even though his driveway was empty) so I made a little cardboard sign pointing my way. Overall a great productive day but no sales for the fsa loan application.

Luckily nothing goes to waste! Bonus reishi(?) Mushrooms i found growing in the food forest. I have hundreds of roses hung up and drying now.

Happy mothers day!

Not sure what variety I have, some sort of bouquet rose bushes. Gotta be 20-30 years old if not older. Insanely aromatic. Any ideas on how market and sell / added value goods I can make? I know mothers day is coming up but my bushes bloom the week before. I gave some to the mail lady who was ecstatic to receive them.

I've never smelled any roses like these. Grocery store or florist roses don't smell anywhere near as fragrant as these. No chemicals and fertilized by my chickens.

Will save the petals for use in herbal teas if all else fails. Trying to make the urban homestead and usda registered farm economically viable. Im experimenting with propagating the bushes as another revenue stream.

I appreciate any advice!

Trying to extract as money as possible. Do I really need the fence?
