    I’m impressed that you dug those post holes with the hand tool and did the greenhouse foundation by yourself. Not easy!

      People do not know what they are capable of. Same to me, I did spend more years just being afraid that project can fail and this stop me even to start. Now after reading all good comments it seems it was success :). Thank you

    Gracious, what an incredible achievement!!
    I have been 'flower farming' for five seasons, now, and your field is at least 10x the size of mine.
    You may consider yourself a hobbyist, but you've taken on a serious, large-scale business venture. It must have cost a fortune to set up... I think I spent about 200NZD on my flower farm the first year, including seeds from a dollar store, borrowed tooling, a bare minimum of cheap and nasty compost, and twine and bamboo for plant support ;)
    With five young children to look after, I get about 2 hours each week to work in the garden during daylight hours, and I harvest and weed at night after putting the kids to bed, with a head torch to see by.
    I like to dream about up-scaling some day....but I think my limit would be 1/4 acre - 1/2 acre. It's incredible how many flowers can come out of a small space managed well.
    You are an inspiration :)

      Not all of flowers was profitable, therefore this year will be a bit different as 2022.
      Main flowers was: Sweet Peas, Zinnia, Sunflowers, Marry Golds, Snap Dragons, Limonium Statice, Straw Flowers, Celosia, Larkspur, Salvia, Nigella, Aster, Cosmo, Amaranthus, Dahlias, Basil, Phlox, perennials as Yarrow, Eringo Ritro etc.
      This year I plan to seed less flower varieties, but I suggest that in first year you seed more and then analyze for next years.
      Good luck with your flower farm :)

    Gorgeous flower gardens! When did you start your seeds before getting the greenhouse? Last year, I started to plant flowers throughout our property. The various flowers starting blooming, and racoons pulled out every bulb. They broke, and chewed on all the bulbs. They left the Zinnia's, and Merrigolds alone. The deer ate my lemon drop roses.
    This year, I once again planted flowers. This time, I mixed flowers within my vegetable garden boxes out back where I have electic fencing. The flowers have been left alone. The temperatures have been hot therefore, every thing growing is taking forever. I only have a handful of flowers showing. The rest have remained small the size of seedlings with no flowers yet.
