This was disappointing….just received notification and thought yay only to discover a short…

The deer ate all of my sunflowers - I was so sad

My summer spires were the feather type celosia. Like pampas plume or flamingo feathers.

❤

I used quake and aspen trees to make my fence. We have so many of them . I have no idea how long they will last ,but it's saving me money for now.

I moved a year ago and this past spring n summer was such a disappointment in sales. I tried a farmers market not a good fit, I set up in front of my home mind you this town is very small, I had advertised on social media, not good. I set up in front of a store and nothing. I also spent two days gifting small bouquets to businesses. I did receive two orders. This starting over is much more difficult than I expected…..😢 My small town of 200 does not is not supportive. I even placed a flier and somebody removed the flier. So I am very interested learning, how do ya approach a grocery store or boutique?

Great video! Here in East Texas, zone 8, I still have zinnias that I'm letting go to seed in the garden and I've also left them for the butterflies, which have been so numerous. My question is how do I let the beds rest when it's time to replant them for spring? I'm with LaRhonda on not planting flowers for fall, when it's consistently hot and dry, and instead growing veggies, which thrive. It just doesn't seem like there's a down time for cover crops or to just let the beds rest. As far as cutworms go, I learned a hard lesson. I thought a layer of leaves covering my spring seedlings would keep them nice and cozy all winter. When it was time to remove the leaves, not only was it painstakingly difficult to keep from uprooting the plants but I also discovered that I'd provided a nice habitat for cutworms. So, that experiment landed in the "What Didn't Work" category.

I enjoy watching you ladies! You have inspired me with finishing up with my second year of gardening. (I’m from Ohio) I even copied an arch like one of yours with wood twigs and young trees. I have to ask…. Would you happen to be related to Lynette Yoder who is a RUclipsr as well? I know she is from Ohio. You guys resemble one another.

I need to do the same!!!

cut worms - AAARRGG, my nemesis! I have used Diatomaceous Earth with very good results. You need to reapply if it rains but persistent use will kill those critter for good!

I always enjoy your videos- thank you!

Loved this! I had never heard about leaving the root balls of things in the ground! Makes sense though I’ll have to try that. It was also helpful for me to hear how you compost in the Fall. I came up with a plan this week for my garden next year & im excited about it! I’m gonna try a different layout. Rosita & Morgan & us had the fence discussion Sun night. We thought our husbands may jump on that idea to contain things! 😅 I need to work on my perennial bed today & maybe dig dahlias. Looks like some Winter may be arriving next week! You know I’m stoaked for that😊

Good morning! This is a good video for fall cleanup. I just about have mine finished. Today I hope to plant a few shrubs and many daffodils. I live in NE Indiana and I've been having to work around the much needed rain. I appreciate seeing your gardens somewhat empty as it gives me insight on what I might want to do for my garden next year. I have never used the netting and I want to next year. I know that with some of the flowers I plan to grow I will greatly benefit from using it. I have enjoyed seeing your gardens this past year and I'm looking forward to what you have for next year...mine too! 😊

It's always good to hear from you ladies. Your gardens looked very lush, and holy cilantro!

Nice, ladies. I’m enjoying your videos. You’ve been a big help. So many people are really planting flower farms. I’ve expanded my garden to include more room for more flowers. I’ve put plastic over another 20’x30” area that I’ll fence in come spring. My other fenced area is 40’x60’. This area includes dwarf fruit trees and a few berry bushes. I’m planning @handmadebycricketcottage roadside stand for spring. I’m trying cool spring bulbs and flowers for Mother’s Day bouquets. How many bouquets do you think you cut from your gardens each year?

Thanks again ladies for your awesome advice and appealing pictures and videos.

As for spire flowers, Salvia I grow in Buffalo, NY.

Lovely🎉 How did you market your flowers in your new location.

The older you are when starting over the more time it takes in my experience. More life things need tending to. Enjoy the journey.

I like the water efficiency of drip irrigation, but wonder if it dictates how you plant things. It seems that a seeder or paper pot would need to run parallel to the tubes. What if you want to plant north to south rows to let more sunlight in during winter, and east west rows to get some high noon shade in summer?

Thank you!

I wanna know how ya met your husbands… I am 66 and raised my son, homeschooled him and worked as a self employed interior painter on my own after his dad left us. I chose to make Jesus my heavenly husband in so doing my kiddo n Jesus became my life. Well he is now is graduated, living of the world rather than for the Lord and does not have time for family. This is heartbreaking and so lonely. I have no other family, oh I can stay busy yet there is such a void without my son. I told him, I don’t want to be his life just to be a part of his life. He doesn’t get it.

I loved this!

💚 you two!! Also love how you’ve made the distance apart work for you!

I can relate to beginning anew in a different town. Would love to hear how to begin again because I gave away more then I sold. What are grocery bunches?

Preach sister 🙏🏼 This was so great! Thank you for the honesty and for posting this conversation!

Priceless…I love it! 😂

Great video. I have a lot to think about closing out year one. What were you harvesting there at the very end? It looked like peonies on my tiny phone screen but couldn’t have been with how tall and lush everything was already.

Sorry about your technical difficulties, but you guys always do such a nice job. Love to see when there's a new video posted!

You two are so lovely! Your gentle but straightforward approach is much appreciated. Thank you!

After putting in 2.5 years for a tiny return, the big tip I'd give to others starting out is to IGNORE the big-timers who tout annuals. I kick myself for listening to one particular flower farmer on YT who convinced me to only do annuals. If I'd put in perennials, they'd still be there today, and I've _something_ to harvest without needing to re-plant beds every season. So much less work and water!

Both of you girls are so fortunate to have each other friends n family.

Loved this

Thanks I needed this video more than I even realized. Even more than that - your videos just make me feel so good. (no matter what the topic) God Bless.

Much thanks for plain talk.

Thanks for the encouragement to keep going and to try and streamline tasks. Love the outtakes.😂❤

Thank you so much for this 🤍

Here in Denmark the best seasons are definitely also spring and autumn for me and I have a tiny winter business with Amaryllis and tulips that we grow under additional grow lights in our boiler room :). You two always remind me of my sister and me, sadly I lost her 21 years ago, but you keep my memory alive!! Thank you for this and for your fine videos!!! 💖 All the best to both of you!!! 💖 Greetings from Denmark!!! 🤗🌻🌸

Adore you both ! Thank you great content!

You two are simply delightful! How is it that you always seem to hit the nail on the head for me??? Right now, I'm looking at two beds of larkspur germination fail. How does one fail at larkspur??? Thankfully, I have 2000 more seeds and still time to plant for spring! 😅

You guys are funny! Thank you for the video.

The technical difficulties fit in so well with the theme of the video, it's almost like it could have been purposely done to showcase real time, real life unexpected events don't have to be stressful. Clearly it wasn't planned, the giggles where far too authentic.

Love your videos even if flower growing is something I'll never acquire!!

Way to persevere, Ladies. I'm always glad to see a video from you.

I look forward to seeing your videos. I do miss when both of you were together and watching you interact. Hopefully during the winter I'll be able to set some time aside to watch your class. Both of you are very talented. Also...the giggles in this video spread to me and I was giggling! Have a lovely weekend. ❤

I love the advice to focus on season and offer many prices. (price anchoring) After 5 weeks of over-100 degree temps I think mid summer is a good time to take a break 😂. I’m still working on selling to florists. Im interested in maybe selling on commission to a local florist. The problem is that she doesn’t have time to go over what I have every week but I feel like if I just dropped off a couple of buckets and she paid for what she used eventually she would use more and more of what I had and I could tailor my growing to what she uses

Love your videos!! Wish there were more, but then, whenever you post a new video, it is indeed precious. Already looking forward to the next one! ❤

Your bloopers made me laugh out loud 😂 you guys are so funny!

Yay! Another video!! Love your content ❤

Great video. Straight talk. No sugar coating. You both are kindred flower folks. Stay well and remain positive.
