Вставка

- last week was all about pumpkins and how we plant our pumpkins for our fall farm stand.
This week we switched gears and we worked hard to get our mums potted up- because nothing goes better with pumpkins than fall mums!
If you want a behind-the-scenes look at to how we grow potted mums for our fall season, then you're going to want to keep watching!

Excellent video! Possibly the best content of all the mum videos I've watched.
Wow, thank you! Glad it was helpful!
I just watched a video of a farmers market auction and can't believe that one yellow mum sold for $20 and the rest sold for $12.50 each. About 15 years ago I paid $10 total for 3 mums.
I need to start growing and selling mums. Seeds are only $0.02 each.
what a beautiul job my friend........you such a hard working women
Very interesting and informative 👍
Glad you think so!
Awesome video!
Lovely
What a great video! Thanks for sharing.
Awe thank you! 💛
Fantastic content!
Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 💛
Questions:
Where do you get your drip system parts from?
How do you 'turn off' your drip lines after the plant has been sold?
I'm so glad that I came across this video! I want to grow mums for my stand, but on a smaller scale lol
Glad it was helpful! You can do it!
Oh my goodness. Can you explain the fertilizer system a bit more. So interesting.
I’m growing mums this year . They tell me to put down white rock or 57 rock . Is sand better? It sure is more cost effective! I have the injection system and all irrigation components but I would like to see how that works. Maybe to late for a video but still interested. I’m in Tennessee just above the Mississippi Alabama line zone 7B. Thanks Daniel
Thank you for this video. I am wantingto grow mums for the fall farmers market next year. Can you please tell me exactly what varieties you grow? There's so many different kinds!
You can keep the plant viable in a green house year after year, I have a couple mum's that are about 5 years old now in clay pots. :)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Did you have to get a nursery license to sell the mums?
This is awesome. I am hoping to add mums next year. Do you mix your own soil for potting?
Glad it was helpful 💛 No, we do not mix our own soil. We just buy it from our local co-op.
Im trying to see if i can regrow my mums from last year. Im in Illinois and purchased them early fall of last year and planted them in the ground quickly. Its been a pretty mild winter so hopefully they took. My question is, do i take off all of the dead plant to start new growth come spring?
I love this video. What type of soil did you use? Where did you buy it? Thanks!
It's a simple potting mix that we are able to order in bulk from our local grower's co-op. Truly nothing fancy, just whatever drains easily.
Hello….that was impressive! Thank you. Could you tell me how many mums you planted….and I was curious why did you space them so far apart? I figured maybe so you could drive thru them ? We don’t have that much space..I wonder if we could cozy them up some. Thank you very much for the info.
We plant around 1200. We space them far apart to allow room for growth. A 12inch mum will often have a 20 to 24 inch canopy. From my experience- growing them close together isn't ideal. Best of luck!
This was really neat to see how those beautiful containers are grown! Curious what your favorite varieties that you grow are?
I feel like I'm still testing out varieties- it's only my second year growing them, so I feel like my experience is limited, but my absolute favorite last year was the 'Cheryl' mum familiy!
@twosistersflowerfarm what verity combination did you use for the four mums in your big pots?
What tags do you use for the pots with multiples? A tag for each one/kind?
Hi, I appreciate your video! I am wondering if you can detail how many plugs you used, in which size pots? We used 3 in 9" pots last year and over all did not have a successful experience and hoping to have a better one this year. With this, which size pot is the most popular to plan for resale, from you experience? Do most like a certain size? Thanks so much!
What is your time frame for starting- transplanting and final sale ?
❤❤❤ so when the flowers dry out do u need to cut them for the new buds or are they done for the season? I had mine for 2 months but are dry now. HELP??😢😢
They are beautiful. Where do you get your plugs from? I am starting a backyard nursery and have been researching mums for the fall. Thanks for the info!
She mentioned that in the video around 10m30
Thank you 😀 we order from Raker-Roberta’s. Best of luck to you!
Could I take my mum pots and put them in the shred for the winter or do they need light when domant? Great informative video.
I don’t have experience doing this myself so I hesitate to give too much advice - but my instinct says that a dark shed should be fine. You’ll have to trial-and-error and let us know how it turns out!
do you deal with hard water and how do you handle that so it does not clog the water lines
this is a great video. i bet your fingers are sore after connecting all that drip line!!
Yes they are ;)
Loved this video I worked at a mum farm for 2 years. Where do you order your irrigation?
How fun! I order from Trickle-Eez
What is the composition of the soil? Potting soil only or do you add compost and vermiculite or peat
What is the bulk mix and where can you get it? Thanks
Can I have the name of the early blooming variety that you planted please?
Can you share what supplier you use for the drip irrigation components? Thank you
I order through Trickle-EEZ 💛
Where did you get a long roll of landscape fabric?
my friend I am located in zone 7 and I have a lot seed of my mums from last year on the fall .... what month can I star my seed so I can have my flowers on the fall for this year... can you help me I want a lot flowers for halloween
Do you mix your own soil or do you buy premixed? If you buy premixed where do you get it from? Thanks
We buy a mix from our local grower's co-op!
All the flowers plants that I have growing. It have no flowers 😩😩😩😩I admires to whoever's have green tumb
Where do you get your water drip line from?
Never mind I just saw Trickle-EEZ
Where did you get all the pots for these?
We order them through our local grower’s cooperative 💛
How much do u charge for your finished mum?
Great video! Thanks for sharing😍would you mind sharing links or names of ferterlizers please, thanks again
Thank you! As for the fertilizer- I honestly just pick it up from our local co-op. Truly I buy just their basic 20-20-20 or 20-10-20 water soluble fertilizer.. whatever they have on hand, and whatever is cheapest! :)
@@twosistersflowerfarm thank you so much 😍
Did you get your landscape fabric???
Did you have to prune the mums ever?
Nope, we don’t 💛
