I would say go slow. If your thinking of catnip, plant a small area, maybe a couple small areas. See what happens and if there are any pests(from plants that compete to animals, deer or maybe the cats may come and play in it and knock it all down). Strawberries money yes allot to know and huge amount of work. Rasberries easyer hi start up. Bule burrries Higher start up and your would have to have a market. Christmas tree?? Other garden crops if there's a market for it. Pests are My biggest trouble here western PA from coons, turkeys, deer if I whant sweetcorn I have to fence it in with 3 stranes of wire, thinner the better, harder for them to see, and puts the fear of God in them. WHERE DID THAT COME FROM, if they get scared they will not be back. If they can see it and jump dig or go around, there not going to touch it and get nailed. Hay is my best money maker, I do about, one average 200-300 per acre profit. It handle too much rain or a drought, you always get a harvest, maybe not what you would like but always something. Make sure you have a place to store your equipment and your harvest. Learn as much as you can, and try a small 1/4 spot and grow from there.

Good Luck and Have Fun !! P.S.

Yes if you hate working ground or farming stay out of it.

Better look at as a hobby !!
