After a few years of work, I have decided to close down my gardening, retail business because it's not profitable enough to justify the continued investment that I can spare in my local area.
On to the next endeavor!
Perhaps once my orchard becomes productive, I'll be able to have a market stall at the farmers' markets in the area instead.
@Stahesh It is better than clinging to something that doesn't work. This whole thing has taught me never to be afraid of opening a business. Just file the paperwork and start. There is nothing magical or scary about it.
