Just watching the workspace change makes me feel like I can breathe better. How great it must feel for you when you work there. Even Rome wasn't built in a day... every little step is a big step forward. Just don't lose focus and invest too much time in vlogs. 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆❤
I am loving the tidy,efficient workspace! The previous chaos always bothered me. The new seedling room is really coming together now, cant wait to see it full & bursting into life.
Looking forward to them upcoming videos. As much as all these changes have probably been challenging for you and your family, it’s likely everyone is going to come out the other side in a better place. You’re teaching your kids the value of love, work ethic, and honesty. There’s honor in that.
Missed you!!! So happy you’ve got a channel going! You must have read all of our minds!!! The change is a shock at first but really you’re still the same cool person and I’m excited for this season - please don’t quit!!!
You go girl, I'm a florist and like everything it's just repetition. You got this, congratulations on putting yourself out there and keep up the good work you're doing on the farm.
Remember that your journey is yours alone, and no one else can define your worth or your identity. It takes incredible courage to be true to yourself, and that bravery shines brighter than any negativity you might face. The people who truly matter will celebrate your authenticity and stand by you. Keep moving forward, one step at a time, knowing that you are valid, deserving of respect, and an inspiration to others who might be struggling to find their own voice. You are not alone, and you are strong. Hold your head high you are doing something extraordinary by choosing to live as your true self.
Your organization/effiency focus is great & hoping to learn what I can apply to my home garden! You are fun & positive - hope you know many here accept & appreciate your sharing and inspiration ❤
I’m so glad you added the part at the end about flower arranging and creativity. I wondered how you were going to slip into that place as I always viewed you as the muscle man of the farm and not really the flower person. So I’m happy to hear you have that desire and budding passion to take this on. I feel you are extraordinarily brave coming out as you are. Your children will ultimately benefit from you being true to yourself. When I said I had always just viewed you as the muscle man of the farm I want to say how amazing it is to watch this beautiful feminine side of you emerge. And you still have those amazing muscles to get hard jobs done. I’m very happy for you and look forward to watching you and your flowers bloom! ✌️
Having run a successful business on your own AND having had a number of years partaking in and observing flower farming, you have a lot of knowledge to implement into the farm becoming successful and profitable. All that experience is invaluable.
You’re inspiring me to continue my dream of my own property for a flower farm. My husband and I bought property for my son to farm and I grow flowers on a small part of it. Problems have arisen - details not necessary. What is clear is how inefficient my flower farm has been. I am a neat and organized person but it is impossible in the space I’ve got. It is also a 35 minute drive, one way. Onward and upwards! 😊😘
There will always be haters unfortunately. It’s always been apparent that you are a great dad and always have been. I love your confidence and this channel!! ❤
I’ve been following you guys a long time and I really love that you’re being authentically yourself! We only get to live once and this is our shot at being our best selves. I’m excited to see you shine!!!
hahahaha Dip is a fab duck name. I really thought you were going to say Quackers & Cheese!! Can the ducks and chicken run about together? That would be fun!!
Things will be great Ian. Is nice to have so many plans. Good start of the year. About hate comments, well blocking them is the right thing to do. You worked and work very hard, not everyone do the same. That is why they have time to hate.
So glad to see the building improvements and efficiencies added. And your hard work now will pay off later! Maybe if you haven’t already have you considered exploring selling more wholesale to florists? Seems like you always had an abundance of beautiful flowers that went unharvested and unused. Look at each of those stems with a dollar bill attached and make everything work for you. Maybe start relationship building with florists now. All the best. /ps personally along with pretty mixed bouquets, I would buy a nice bundle of all peonies or all tulips or some other flower as well. Can’t say I ever saw you sell a same flower bundle. Just a thought.
I am so excited Ian about your changes to the farm…absolutely ❤️ it….this 74 yr old can’t wait to see these changes to the farm….u are one who loves order to everything…..u have my attention….can’t wait to c what 2025 brings…I know it’s going to be Awsome…thank you for choosing roses…and I hope you’ve seen WINDFALL FLOWERS from Kamloops…her pastel zinnia seed look Awsome too…wishing u the best in this new year.♥️
Like the changes. Always felt like before it was chaos sometimes. If I had a complaint about you and Serina’s videos before was I felt she never gave you enough credit to complete a bouquet. Always felt to me like she was a little egotistical about it. So I am glad you are finding your creativity. Love the nail color.
Life is hard: you do what makes you happy. As long as you continue to love and nuture your kids, as you always have, they'll be fine. Love and support from Ohio, USA. Oh- also- congrats on the improvements/changes around the place. Looking good!
I never comment on videos, but yours incited enough of a reaction that I will. Keep up the good work and positive attitude even if it’s hard at first. What you are doing will be an inspiration to someone, with your life, with your family, with your work- in someway you will affect others positively. You don’t have to be an expert on flowers if you are passionate about what you do and sell what you love that is the best place to start. Keep up the videos I have enjoyed them so far good luck in the future on the flower farm!
Negative comments suck. Being happy and comfortable with who you are is good for everyone - your kids will be better adjusted growing up w happy and honest parents. I wish you all the best, and will keep watching 💜😊
You are at that great stage of having lived with the farm and established processes long enough that the operational efficiency changes are obvious. That is not to say that some of your changes won't work as intended but change itself is a process right? As for the haters - man they annoy the crap out of me! Being true to yourself, showing your kids that you are true to yourself and that you are happy is the best thing you can do for them.
This might have been asked before, will you sell at both the farmers market and roadside stand? The new plans for the "out" building sound very efficient...I can't wait to see the seedling room full of green and I love farm tours. Your excitement for your creative ideas and confidence in business management are palpable.
I just want to say that you have always seemed like an exceptional parent to me. Your children are fortunate to have you and Serina as parents. Also I have to add that you look amazing in this video. What are you doing with your skin?
Great to hear from you, I’ve been a fan from the beginning! I know you’ll succeed. A little advice - you don’t need so many types of flowers to make bouquets. Stick with a few reliable ones, zinnias, statice, rudbeckia, sunflowers, etc. Keep a calendar- when to start each variety of seeds, succession planting, fertilizing. You’re on the right track with efficiency and I look forward to watching your journey. Blooms by Betty
Look at getting a tree wrench. We have had one for several years for pulling out trees we don't want. We've had roots in excess of 3 feet pulled out with one.
I can feel your pain on the Chinese elms, but replace that with mesquites. They’re everywhere here in AZ.. even the kubota tractor we rented couldn’t even make a dent! I like your vision with the work space. It’s a fantastic building to make use of.
It’s so awesome that you are back…love hearing your ideas and I’ve missed the farmer’s market videos. And also…missing the cats, hopefully you still have a couple. Your personal life is none of our business, I just find you to be a funny, talented person. Can you name a chicken or duck donut? I don’t know why, it just sounds like a good animal name lol
Very happy to see you posting frequently! Also glad you are blocking haters and their comments! ‘Ain’t nobody got time for that!’ You know who you are! Your children know that you adore them! It’s been obvious to me watching your channel, that your family has been #1 priority! Trans is beautiful! Proud Momma Bear here!
Hi Becca ❤ I wonder if you know? I'm not particularly fond of "there will be big changes" which seems to be the most common, but prefer, "this is my plans for 2025 here is a timetable with possibilities of change" I want to go along on the journey, be part of the planning and impatiently like a child, wait for the next episode. i wonder if most viewers prefer option one or if option two is not favored by youtube. or option three, you don't want to be locked in by strict planning but want to take it as it comes?
We can see this has been difficult for your family but Serina said she still works with you and you are still friends and co-parenting. It's been obvious this whole time that you are actively involved with your children and a great dad. What the Internet thinks doesn't matter. We don't know all of the details of your private life nor should we so the people hating on you are just being mean to be mean and honery. Ducks sound amazing and the names you have picked out are super cute. I was also thinking that you made a good choice to rent out your house as an air bnb. Your new personal space you're working on is a great idea and once it's all set up and finished should be much better than before with a new seedling room attached to boot.
I'm so proud of you Ian.. though I love your family. But... there's a saying....who wears the pants in the house. Good luck on your new endeavor. Still gonna watch both channels. ❤
Thank you for your video. I have been a long time follower and I'll be honest and say that your announcement was a shock. My son is a lady in transition and has been for many years. Being the mum I have always loved and supported them but it has been hard and not for the reasons you may think. They have a deep desire to be happy but their happiness didn't come from transitioning so they have looked to external factors such as their upbringing for their unhappiness. It is so heartbreaking and I just want them to know I love them so much. I have lost friends from being the mother of a lady in transition and I do not care. But it is hard as there is no one you can talk about it to. Like literally no one. Therapists blame me for the way my trans daughter has turned out. Like why can't we all just be ok with the fact that it is hard that the person we love now goes by a different gender and has a different name? It is just a change and needs some adjusting to and all I needed was support to how best support my trans daughter and come to terms with this change and to stop slipping up and referring to them as he or by their male name. I feel so bad when I do this. I just want things to change so we can all be supportive and acknowledge change is hard but here is a plan on how to adapt. That would be nice. I have reached out to Serina so she doesn't go through the blame game like I did, but then I thought how creepy I sounded being an unknown person offering to talk to her. YIKES! Just send my love to her and yourself. You've got this xx

Celebrating Becca🎉🥳❣️
Sooo much looking forward to seeing your bouquets. I bet they are awesome.
(Even if you'de plan them while on the toilet.)
You go girl, I'm a florist and like everything it's just repetition. You got this, congratulations on putting yourself out there and keep up the good work you're doing on the farm.
Children learn from what we do, not from what we say. You and their mother are teaching them Courageous Authenticity…so powerful.
Remember that your journey is yours alone, and no one else can define your worth or your identity. It takes incredible courage to be true to yourself, and that bravery shines brighter than any negativity you might face. The people who truly matter will celebrate your authenticity and stand by you.

Hold your head high you are doing something extraordinary by choosing to live as your true self.
Great job with your tidy up and reconfiguration of your workspace. I am so glad you are doing videos again.
❤ you're a great parent! Also, your funny intros were always my favorite on the other channel.
Good job organizing everything. Efficiency is key to success!
Your organization/effiency focus is great & hoping to learn what I can apply to my home garden! You are fun & positive - hope you know many here accept & appreciate your sharing and inspiration ❤

I was thinking of getting a Chinese elm. Thanks for the heads up about the invasive roots
Don't doubt yourself, you are on the right path

Lots of good people around 😊
Aww, try not to let the haters get to you. All your kids really need is love and they certainly have that.
Laying the ground work for all the creative magic. What a nice way to spend the winter. Keep going Becca! #Transisbeautiful

good on you for working smarter.

They go by Becca now. Agree with your comments!

Haters gonna hate, keep rising above 💕 Your vision sounds amazing look forward to watch it all come together.Keep that creativity flowing!

I just want to say that you have always seemed like an exceptional parent to me. Your children are fortunate to have you and Serina as parents. Also I have to add that you look amazing in this video. What are you doing with your skin?
Keep being true to you. It’s the best way to be able to love yourself and give love to your kids. Wishing you all happiness, peace and love.
You are beautiful, you are strong. Looking forward to your up coming videos.
So excited to see this spring! Will we see more dahlias now? : ) ❤
Great to hear from you, I’ve been a fan from the beginning! I know you’ll succeed. A little advice - you don’t need so many types of flowers to make bouquets.

Naw the peonies and Austin roses blow that generic stuff out of the water. Ian/becca always had great taste in flowers.
Look at getting a tree wrench. We have had one for several years for pulling out trees we don't want. We've had roots in excess of 3 feet pulled out with one.
wishing you all the best, I personally am looking forward to hear more of your plans for the farms
I’m cheering for you and looking forward to each new video!
I think you’re on the right path and wishing you an amazing season 😊
I used to think more asymmetry and odd numbers would be nice in the market bouquets. Certainly that is what I do with my flowers and they sell well.
YES! All the perennials video!
Love your ideas for reinventing your space!
I can feel your pain on the Chinese elms, but replace that with mesquites. They’re everywhere here in AZ.. even the kubota tractor we rented couldn’t even make a dent!
I like your vision with the work space. It’s a fantastic building to make use of.

That is a good name! There will be a donut
Ducks are great for slugs.i wish i could one.but my husband dont want them. But great job of the changes. ❤❤
Welcome back becca
Cheering you on!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wish you best of luck
Keep being you ❤
Yay! You are making some great progress.
Very happy to see you posting frequently! Also glad you are blocking haters and their comments! ‘Ain’t nobody got time for that!’

Cap cut and you cut pro are pretty good for overlays on a phone

You should hire someone as soon as you can to remove hate comments so you don't even see them.
I'm so proud of you Ian.. though I love your family. But... there's a saying....who wears the pants in the house. Good luck on your new endeavor. Still gonna watch both channels. ❤
Their name is now Becca, you must have missed that in the first video back.

Making mean comments here says a lot more about the commenter than it does about you. You're fine.
our runner ducks ate all my ranunculus buds.......
Hate that you feel like you have to justify who you are to anyone. Hopefully there is less of that as you go forward.
Your video is very nice, But your thumbails are unprofessional, if you need professional thumbail please let me know.
💚
