    You're not spoiled. It's just growth, which is incredible! I remember when you were both excited by an $800 market. Obviously, shifting resources to flowers was the right move. Great job. Great video. And happy birthday, Leah!

    You are without a doubt one of the most hardworking women I have ever seen you absolutely run your Flower Farm. I would say at least 60% of the farm is ran by yourself and it's incredible I'm glad some women can show then they can do miss everything themselves it's kind of incredible to watch how one person can sustain all that you do in such a short time. Your flowers are absolutely beautiful and the arrangements are just as pretty. You have came so far, congratulations!

    So so so beautiful! I’m so bummed I live so far away! I would be buying several a week. Congrats on another great market!! Can I nudge you to make the flower stand a bit more pristeen? Print up signs for the payment box and camera button using the same font as your logo and flower cost signs. Ditch the green tape. Whisk off the tables. Add some flat napkins or material under the buckets. All of the surroundings go into your brand, not just the beautiful flowers. People notice the details. Had 2 very successful gift shops for years and was always focused on what does the customer see when they walk in the door. We were always complimented at how neat and polished the shops were kept. Just a few thoughts. Not criticizing. Just want your business to keep growing! 🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸

    Wow, that Sea Holly is something else! Can't wait to see what they look like dried. The bouquets all look so incredible, I can't even pick a favorite. The snap dragons and the ranunculus are stand-outs to me. All the colors are so bright and beautiful that they hardly seem real. It's wonderful watching you two learn and grow, and become more successful every year. So glad you make time for family. Nothing's more important. Good health and happiness to you always!

    Everything looks beautiful!!! It would be so hard to pick just one bouquet! The sea holly with the white anemone pops! Also love the dark velvety snaps with the golden sunflowers. I bet a few delphinium, larkspur or purple blue lisiantus would pop the yellow and the dark burgundy. It would be so much fun to play with all your flower varieties and see what all could be created. I can even fill in and grow and maintain flowers for myself let alone make a stand. Your hard work and tenacity has paid off...and your teamwork and working smarter not harder...and giving yourself time to heal and play....you should feel very accomplished and confident that you can do whatever you need to so you have success.

    In regards to the aphids, I was having issues with them this year too. Heavier than ever before! Since I don’t want to use chemicals, I eventually found a site selling larvae of ladybugs! I let them crawl in to the places and plants that were most heavily infected and I was shocked to see that after 2 weeks the aphids were almost completely gone! The ladybugs even flew to other plants that were affected. Best money I spent for the garden this year!!

      @laurent3415 2 роки тому

      You can also plant scent masking companions nearby, or even in containers that can be dropped off near affected areas. Things like alyssum and marigolds are good scent masks that keep bugs away from more vulnerable plants. You can also plant sacrifical ones near the edges of the property to attract the insects away from the main beds.

    Could you make some cat-friendly bouquets, and market them as such? I know lilies are beautiful but I'd never buy them for a friend with a cat as the entire plant is toxic. Catnip and papyrus would look stunning and I think that cat-owners would buy them no questions-asked. You'd only have to print a little cat-friendly sticker and it would fly off the shelves.

This job may be the best job I've ever had being surrounded by gorgeous flowers all day. They do a huge amount of amazing weddings each weekend and I'm hoping to eventually be a part of that. For now I am receptionist, order taker, email reader, message dispenser and misc helper as needed. I need to take some pics of their cooler rooms full of wedding flowers. It's outrageous! I think about you and all flower growers when I see flower supplies coming in every day. Your snapdragons are so healthy looking this year!
