A few things I buy too much of for way to much money are: Acai Berries, Gogi Berries and Avocadoes. I think it would be good to look into various other medicinal herbs, lol. Stuff like lemonbalm, maca, goldenseal, etc are always overpriced at the health food store. I'm actually pondering having an herb garden alongside my herb garden once I learn a bit more

Or, a couple months before the last frost in your area grow as much different vegetable seedlings as you can. If you time it right you can then off all of your seedlings at a garage sale just as spring has sprung.

8 cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped and drained
2 ½ cups chopped onion
1 ½ cups chopped green pepper
3 – 5 chopped jalapenos
6 cloves minced garlic
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp pepper
1/8 cup canning salt
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup vinegar
16 oz. tomato sauce
16 oz tomato paste
Mix all ingredients, bring to a boil, boil 10 minutes. Pour into hot jars, process at 10 lbs of pressure for 30 minutes for pints.

Makes 6 pints

i never thought of this, even if i dont sell it. SHIT I LOVE SALSA

I love these. They have a chocolate flavor. I dont know how difficult they are to grow. These are very expensive. If you got the grow dialed in for these you could make al ot of money...



4oz is 360$ retail..

Oregon's White Truffles are a high-priced fungi as well - pretty nuts actually

I don't think truffles can be actively cultivated, though, can they? I thought that the best you can do is perhaps inoculate an area and hope to find the fruiting bodies later on (with your finely trained pig!).

I'm finding that the specialty lettuces are just too easy to grow, and can't figure out why people are willing to pay $2/lb for them. But, they are! Hello Schedule F.

You can buy Oak trees with the spores pre innoculated

Other spores for other truffles available IIRC..

Comercial mushroom growers on the 'exotic' varieties (Oyster, Shitake, Wood Ear, et al) buy inoculated 'plugs' which are a 'use once and toss' deal.

These spent plugs are available for free and by busting them up (they're made from sawdust & a binder) you use these in your worm bins and compost piles for the massive fungi colonies.

Can't beat free......
