Flower stall Hex 16 un

[goddessliss]

After much observing at the local markets I've seen an opening for creating a fresh flower stall.

What is the potential of my business idea for myself

Hex 16 unchanging

Respond to my idea that is emerging.

How much effort would it be appropriate for me to put in at this time

Hex 31.4.5>15

Work out my intentions Line 4 and remain focused Line 5.

There is a flower stall in the market - it used to be run by a man who had been there for years - he had his regulars and whilst I never buy cut flowers - sometimes got the odd geranium potted but I used to say helli. He retired early last year as he said that it was getting to him the long hours the cold and the energy needed. Someone who lived next door to me once rented the house to his friend who used to buy and sell flowers - long hours - his job required long hours and he said it was exhausting I was amazed at what went into selling a few geraniums!!

Now I am not an expert - and hex 16 is about enthusiasm - and I can relate to that. I think it is a lovely idea and should be explored. However - you need to consider the physical elements of this - I tend to get carried away and then get exhausted. If you lack physical energy (your other post) then this is quite a hard call. You may be considering it on a small scale - but to make money you would need to physically work quite hard

The new guy in the market is young and has a loud voice calling out his flowers constantly. He gets there at 7am and is in the go all day packing up the stall at 4pm. There you are ladies - 3 bunches for a fiver - come on get your lovely flowers ......

I am all for going for it but when I have had hex 16uc there is a feeling that I need to consider what it is I am being enthusiastic about

Thanks butterfly spider. I wouldn't even consider the sort of market you're describing above.
This is just a small country market once or twice a month with the sunflowers, cosmos and others I grow on a very small scale plus potted geraniums or daisies. I was selling craft but there is sooooooo much of it and a lot of the same things and, as I'm an avid gardener already studying horticulture, I thought why not use what I'm already growing but just up the amount of seeds and propagating I do.
I already do painted flower pots so now I'll always have something to put in them.

Ok understood

I live near a very good market. So many crafts and vintage bits
The stalls that do well however tend to have a quirky element. There are so many shops and charity places that everything seems too dear. A very small quirky stall once a month sells flower essences - lavender and geranium last month. Another stall sells medicinal flowers - small pots of flowers and plants linked to conditions. I bought one for my daughter - it was orange flower. She says they are not sold as a cure just help lift the spirits. She also does oils which you can put your own essences into

This sounds more like it. She is a lovely woman and does really well. Makes a change from the usual stuff too. She does hand massage - 10 mins for £4. Using her oils. It's a lovely treat

Good luck

Yes I'm looking for that quirky element so it's more than just flowers but nothing to elaborate or expensive. Just something like this woman you speak of, something that makes you feel good.
