One idea that I have for a small business is a gardening business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first step is to order seeds and plants. I will have to choose which plants will be the most productive and have the highest value to work ratio, because I can’t plant every vegetable! Some ideas: Peas, potatoes, green beans, peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the seeds come, I will need to plant any seeds that need to be germinated inside, like peppers. That will require careful work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that, it’s tilling time! We already have the tools, so I don’t need to buy any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, it’s preparation and planting time. For peas, I will need trellis\/mesh for them to climb on. For peppers and tomatoes, stakes are required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then comes the grind: keeping the garden alive! Weeding, weeding, and more weeding. If it’s dry out, watering! I could set up automatic sprinkler systems to auto-water the plants when it’s dry out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last is harvesting the vegetables, the most fun part (in my opinion!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phew, all that work, and now the fruits of my labor are…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BUT WAIT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s just one part of running a gardening business! Don’t forget to manage the more technical side of it! I also need to set up the business side of it! I will need to figure out a put advertisements up, and set the prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, selling the vegetables. I will need to find a suitable location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all that is finished, the fruits of my labor…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Money(and veggies!):-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
