Good for you for planning this far ahead for a fun retirement. 👏🏻
Yeah, this spring I looked up and finally saw the light at the end of the employment tunnel. It has had me reviewing and reconsidering my retirement plan. I have 10 acres on a gravel road, 6 of which are wooded. My original plan had been to spend parts of my days 'parkifying' those 6 acres, which I will still do, but fitting peonies into the mix really sounded better for me. Beyond earning some extra income, going to a farmer's market will be good for me at a lot of other levels.
Another consideration - and it is a simple one that peonies can deliver - is that the bulk of the heavy, more difficult work I can accomplish while I am still physically able and then continue to reap the benefits as I gradually become a bit less capable. It is also not a bad choice if you want to travel during the summer
