In my small town, if it is against the 'law' to sell cut flowers
or fresh vegs. in one's own front yard (with a sign,etc) - a lot
of people are outlaws including me. :-)) This area has yard sales
galore and selling one's 'growables' falls into the same barrel. We
sell vegs. in August only because our friends and neighbors can
only eat so many tomatoes and zucchini.
I would never sell my iris but people have stopped when I have
been working in the front garden and asked for fresh flowers.
People have paid more money for six cut peonies than I paid for
the tuber. I am toying with the idea of marketing peonies since
they are the ones people are struck with in the garden. It can
pay for my 'iris habit'. :-)
However, to have a 'spot' in the village to market flowers and
vegs. probably needs a permit of sort - even in New Hampshire.
