If you've ever served guests with veggies from your garden, or given gifts of home-grown preserves and bouquets of flowers, then you're on the road to riches -- or at least to a possible sideline business. It's not just selling what you grow that can earn you some extra cash at farmer's markets -- writing down your green thumb experience can bring in some dollars too.
If you're a good writer, you can get paid to write "how-to" articles, whether geared towards beginner level gardeners or experts, and sell them to print publications or online venues like Constant Content (where I've sold some articles on unrelated matters).
Gardening is such a vast topic that there are an infinite number of sub-topics you can address. You can break down each of those further by the specific reader base you're addressing or by garden climate or even by garden color scheme.
If you're a photographer, you can sell your garden photos as well. Although I don't have personal experience with them, there's a site called PhotoShelter.com where you can upload your pictures and sell them. As I understand it, you get 90 percent of the sale price.
Full Disclosure: if you do decide to sign up with Constant Content to sell your gardening articles, please use my affiliate link to do so: http://www.constant-content.com/?aref=26999. It won't cost you anything, and I'll get a small percentage on your sales.
