My life is botany and mycology. I make money from it. Not spend money. You don’t need a accreditation to study, grow, love plants and you don’t need work for anyone else.

hmmm, any tips on making money from it?

I'm a hobbyist gardener - or, rather, plant enthusiast - but even if I know that the plants themselves might be considered valuable, the scale I'd have to engage in it to make it capable of supporting me in its own is... daunting, to say the least.

A fun one is set you up a nice little greenhouse’situation (use what you got. Figure it out) and get a bunch of tomatoes started real early. Then you can sell knee high plants as soon as the frost is past for $20 a pop

People pay money for tomatoes? My neighbors were offering me sacks of them all summer long.

Yes. People buy tomatoes. What? I’m glad you got motherfuckers just handing out fruits and vegetables in your neighborhood but you have to realize that you are a special case.
