It may be just a game, but I haven't seem 'spoon tycoon around'. Why? Because nobody buys just a spoon, unless they have a specific need for just a spoon. Nobody gets rich that way; it doesn't make sense.

That being said, a flower garden does make more sense than spoon tycoon - the point I'm trying to make is that just because it's a game, doesn't always mean that ignoring common sense is a thing you can do with impunity. In some cases, it can be overlooked, (How many villagers live in each hut again?) but even if you intend to overlook it, it should be a decision you make, not something you ignore because you don't think it matters.

On another note, in addition to rose petals, I believe rose hips make tea, as well.
