      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

I'm starting a small flower farm this year and it will be much smaller than yours. But you have given me hope that I can also be successful with mine. Please share the names of the flowers that you grew. I recognized many of them but some were new to me and soooooo beautiful! Thank you for sharing this amazing adventure. Blessings!

      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.

    • @LazyCrazyCows
      @LazyCrazyCows  Рік тому +1

      Hello. At the moment soil PH is already high, this is why I found the best was weeding. I only weeded 2 times, as soon as plants are big enough, weeds do not want to grow. This summer I plan to do the same way. Just need to weed in really beginning. :)

    My suggestion :
    1) green walkaway btw walk paths like some cover crops like winter Rye cereal that stops weeds from growing n you can just mow it down. There are other walkpaths cover crops but I can't think to give you more examples. Maybe somebody can suggest below.
    I saw a guy ( no till growers) do that in Kentucky, USA. Smart idea for farmers.
