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.

You guys are so cute❤🎉

Gotta love technology!!!

How did your pulse watering system work out for you?

Love your gardens and videos. But I was wondering how you both close your gardens at the end of the season? Do you cover with something?

Hello! What kind of sort rose in this bouquet? Thanks!)

Thank you very much for your help. I am doing research for irrigation and just found out about pluse irrigation from another video.

Ideas for summer and fall spires...I grew limelight millet this year for the first time. If you cut them early they are a fuzzy lime green and stand upright. If you let them develop they arch gracefully. Green drops have a fountain shape as well. Other ideas are Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate, perennial salvia (I have Mystic Spires...so pretty), veronica, amaranth, and goldenrod, celosia.

YES to all of this! If it were about the money, we'd be doing something else for sure! Growing flowers as a side hustle grounds me and provides balance in many ways. It's a lot of work, but so far it's so worth it!

Wow, ladies, I can certainly identify with some of your fails. I have a tiny flower business, a side hustle as I’ve heard you say many times. Can’t get my husband to retire, so I wanted to have something to do too. Long story short, this summer I made many market bouquets for local supermarkets. Just as everything was buzzing happily along, here came the critters! We have badgers that raid the sunflower patch. After much research, I learned they eat a certain type of grub that developes under the roots of the sunflowers. So you go out to a patch of 500 sunflowers, that are about a week to ten days from flowering and they’re leaning in every direction, some dug completely out. We’ve tried everything to get rid of the badgers, and on several occasions I’ve met one face to face while cutting for a bouquet! Yikes!!! I started carrying a .22 pistol with me every time I went out, not exactly what I had in mind when I started my little cut flower farm haha Thanks for sharing, we’ve got to stick together and I’ve always enjoyed a challenge. My motto is ‘nothing worthwhile is ever easy!’ All the Best, Debbie from Kansas

LOVED this video☺️ Made my gloriously cool, slow, multiple cups of coffee morning on the screened porch perfect. This has been quite the growing season here. I felt like I was trying to grow an Ohio garden in Georgia. It was not fun. I did have soaker hoses & we got a holding tank for our well installed that did keep most things thriving. But some things just shriveled even though it was watered just from too much sun & heat. I have a whole new gratefulness for Ohio cloudy weather. It’s good for growing😊just as if this week we have a deer who is destroying my beds including my dahlias, & they are prime😭I never had one do it this bad. I think I will tear stuff out early. Wayne read where putting fishing string up around things deters deer, so we may try that. I had a sip & snip with some 12-15 yr old girls & that was fun! One of them used my angelonia, the taller variety anual, and that was pretty in a bouquet! A spire, not supper tall, but one I hadn’t thought of using. I need to get planning for nxt year!

I love you guys laughing at the end, that was great! Lol thankyoy for sharing and for encouraging :)

Wins and Lessons for me

Thank you for sharing this! I had one single groundhog in our garden,and it ate SO MUCH!! The devastation from deer is nothing compared to this awful guy!

Enjoyed your video and kudos on the bouquets with the eucalyptus etc. I really like that loose whimsy look that you got with all your foliage. You may not have had the filler flowers but the bouquets still looked great.😊

Do you put landscape fabric down and compost on top? Will the landscape fabric keeps the flower roots from growing strong? Do you just put landscape fabric on the paths? Thank you

I love the information you're giving. But pictures would be nice.

I love that shirt LaRhonda. Always comforting to see you two! Especially here in NC with all that's been going on. Do you spray paint your cattle panel and supports? The gardens are so beautiful. Feel like I had a number of fails this year, but it always ends up in learning more. Guess my biggest fail was planting lots of English perennials, but not realizing how slow growing they can be, the weeds just took over! Going to try Bio 360 next year, we'll see how it goes. Much love!

My spike flower for late summer into fall is the feather variety of celosia. I cut hard every week and get more the next week. Gonna plant more of that in other colors as I only have the white feathers this year.

Thank you for sharing your fails, it makes it easier to actually face my own. We had deer, phesants and rabbits munching away all the buds from flowers. I managed to get some tulips and dahlias, but very little else. One spike I have found prolific is agastache. It started in July and bloomed away 'till September. I am in the zone 5 and it survives our winters well.

Love your videos!

Fail: putting things off and getting farther and farther behind until I'm too late. We planted too many tomatoes, every weekend is canning and the flowers are neglected. Win: planted forsythia, baptisia and other filler foliage around dads house. Than I take care of the hedges and get the greens for bouquets.

What are spy flowers?

There were so many bunnies this year in my garden. I have to replant my flowers two or three times this year!!! My husband finally bought me a bunny trap and I caught all of them (23)! I used apples to trap them!

Thank you both so much for your honesty. I just recently started following you both and have sooo enjoyed watching the videos. I tried to start my cut flowers 3 yrs ago and my bro died i pulled 1000 seeds and then my mom got very sick pulled 1400 seeds. It has been an uphill battle but im trying cool flowers again this Fall. I would love to know how you make the pathways. Are you cutting down black weed barrier. The weeds are a battle with just me. Oh i'm in Ky. Originally from Tx totally different summers. Always use to perrenials and dry heat now annuals completely different. (Humid). Oh yea did i mention im in my 60s never too late to bloom. Please keep going!! Im so encouraged!! P.s. please HELP.

We've found dwarf sorghum to be a beautiful linear flower. We plant them close together for a nice bouquet size, and also use them in fall bouquets because the seed heads are pretty too. Delphinium blooms all summer and into fall for us here in Colorado 6a. It gets very hot and our sun is quite intense at this elevation, but the delphs are in dappled shade and so they keep coming back every year. Potomac snaps are a good summer spike too. Cheers to next season!
