Four years ago, I planted a tiny patch of peonies, hoping for a few pretty blooms. Fast forward to now, and my backyard looks like a floral jackpot. Every spring, these peonies explode with color, and people actually want to buy them! I never thought a handful of roots would turn into a mini business. I started by picking a sunny spot and making sure the soil was super rich. Watering deeply (but not drowning them) was key, and I learned to ignore them in winter—peonies love a good nap. Now, every bouquet I sell covers my gardening costs and then some. Turns out, patience and a little dirt under your nails can pay off big time. #gardening #peonies #backyardbusiness
