Oh thank you! That is so encouraging! More to come!

I am glad you found it helpful!!

Glad it was helpful!. Thanks for watching.

oh! Yes... that is interesting. I had not connected that before!

You’re welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful.

I’m glad you found it helpful! Stay tuned for more!

I hope I will feel the same way 🤣. Either way..they are going to be beautiful.

Thanks for the question. Yes, I will address this a bit in the next video and I do talk about this some in video #2 from this series.

I think tips for scaling up would be to start with a small planting and then see how that goes and scale up from there. If you have not seen the other videos in the series I would recommend you check those out. I talk in depth in #2 in the series about my initial planting in 2022 of 160 woodies and how that all went. I'm not sure what exactly you mean by terminology. But I would just make sure it is from a wholesale source and then know how many plants are in a tray...and then how many trays you need for a minimum order. If you are new and only want a few shrubs I would check out Farmer Bailey bc he has a very small minimum and really has a lot of great choices as well! His mostly ship in bare roots. I hope that helps!

Absolutely helpful! Thank you! I will start reaching out to my local nursery and see if they'll let me piggyback on their spring orders so I can avoid large minimums. I just wasn't sure how to ask about the size of the shrubs. I'll be sure to like all the other videos in this series.

Glad you found it helpful. Oh, yes MI native....I love MI (though I am not native....I'm native to just across the lake in WI). I'm glad you're enjoying the channel! Thank so much!

Heptocodium...also know as seven son flower, AKA temple of bloom 🤣....so many different names...hard to keep up....basically it's a tree that you grow for its fall blooming seedpods. Looks super cool. I'm glad you found it helpful!

I appreciate you saying that! I feel the same way....I am always learning things from other growers. I'm so thankful for those who have gone before me.

I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

Your Welcome! Glad you found it helpful.

Im glad you found it helpful! It's always good to be thinking ahead.

I know right. I've never grown it before so I am excited about the quince. I also just planted some Japanese Anemones last season. I am looking forward to harvesting from them this season.

Oh that is so sweet of you! Yes, Garden answer....she really has a lot of great information that you can relate to cut flower growing.

Where were you able to buy the coral berry in Canada, have been looking…🇨🇦

@@mienkedezoete2146 ya! Ive been looking too, Canada here, the struggle is real!

Thank you! That is very encouraging!

Yes...they are 4in pots...called a quick turn.

@ That is amazing that you were able to cut off them so quickly from those small sizes, off to increase my Woodies!!!

@@rachelince9545 I was honestly shocked the 1st season how big they were with fall planting them.

@ I bought some in Autumn the same size as you, now I am very hopeful for this season with them!!! 😊

❤️ Working on more right now!

🤣❤️🤣 More to come!

I am glad you found it helpful!

Your Welcome. Thanks for watching!

Spring Meadow Ships all over the nation, so you can order directly from them. I don's know of any local ones in the Catskills.

I planted some in by 2024 planting...that video is coming next.

Wow! That really means a lot to me. Thank you. I am glad you found it helpful.

@@ladetrucker haha….true! I mean they give us such great stuff!

@@srcoplin85 yes! I was in Lennie’s course last year. You too? Glad you found the video helpful!

@ I did! I remember you in our live meetups each week. 😊

Oh that is interesting...yes, I can totally see that. Thanks for sharing.

I have only sprayed by snowberries with BT to prevent the caterpillars...and yes it helped a lot. I use the Professional 1 hydrator from Chrysal. I just use it according to the instructions. I have no experience with Cytisus...I've acutely never heard to that. Sorry. 🤣

@@abundantbloomsflowerfarm Thank you so much:-) for Cytisus small info: www.nps.gov/articles/scotch-broom.htm

Your Welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I do have several videos on how I actually sell the flowers. Check out my playlist on selling flowers to florists...in the title of one it says something about pricing too.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I get them from Spring Meadow Nursery.

Yes, the ones that bloom on old wood are so much more reliable here in MI as well. The endless summer varieties are so hit and miss here and are never as happy. I've tried...maybe I should do a whole hydrangea video...they are almost their own topic.

Would luv to hear series on hydrangea

Glad it was helpful!

Oh, I am glad that you are enjoying the series. We have deer all around us but so far they have never eaten any of our flowers or gardens. The deer have a lot of other food I guess as we are surrounded by row crop fields. Our neighbors also have a dog outside so that helps.

@@abundantbloomsflowerfarmsounds like they have plenty to eat so not messing with your flowers! Sorry one more question I did not ask originally… what is the brand you have for your gothic high tunnel? We are thinking about getting one and have applied for an NRCS grant.

@@christineh948 no problem. It's from Nifty Hoops...so far it's been great. They are build for wind and snow load. We just got dumped with over 12 inches of snow over the course of a few days and I never had to bump off the snow as it sheds naturally because of the way it is built and it has a double layer of plastic with a fan between the two layers of plastic. Yes, I think the deer leave us alone bc they have lots of food....I feel sad for farmers where that is not the case.

@@abundantbloomsflowerfarm we have a herd of dear around here. I think the most we’ve counted at one time was 14. Thank you for the name! We live on a hill with no wind barrier, so it’s helpful to know it is built for wind and snow. We had a recent snow in Arkansas and some farmers had there tunnels collapse due to snow that they did not keep up with sweeping off the snow. We don’t want that to happen with that kind of investment.

I do not cut up the woody stems...but some of my florists strip off the bark with a knife at the tip and they say they have no problems with them hydrating. I use chrysal hydrator in the water when I harvest most woodies.

I'm glad that you found it so helpful. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for celebrating 1K subs with me! It's been a really interesting journey! Glad to hear that the algorithm does work sometimes! Hmm yeah...finding them local for me has been really helpful. I planted over 900 shrubs last season from Spring Meadow, but I was able to pick them all up as they are only 30 minutes from me...but if not the shipping would have cost me another $1,000. So it does make a difference for sure. I'm not exactly sure how all the monitzation thing works, but I am close...so we shall see. Thanks for all the kind and encouraging words...it really keeps me going.

I use the hydrator solution from Chrysal. I do also talk about hydrator in my video on how to achieve high quality for cut flowers.

Oh Thank you! That is so kind and encouraging.

Yes, I will add that to the list of questions. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you. ❤️ The artwork is now in the hoop house safe and sound.

Yes, I will add that to the questions. I'm glad that you found it helpful.

@ thank-you! I def struggle with harvesting woody shrubs.

Awww! Thank you!

The Glitters and Glows is primarily for the blue berries they produce in the fall...but I can also be cut for the spring flower. I know a lot of people like a snowball viburnum in early spring. The nice thing with the flowers is that they are ready early...for me I have a variety (I don't know the name), but the flowers bloom early on the heels of the tulips...so it's so nice. I am trying to expand my viburnum for early spring. My next video will be the expansion that I planted in 2024 and I added A LOT of viburnum and will get into all those specific varieties in that video.

@ awesome! Excited to hear more. I’ve really been enjoying your videos. I’ve been pondering if viburnum could be well suited close to Mother’s Day in my area so I’m especially looking forward to more on that one. Also the hoop house has been a nice back drop for the recent ones.

@@torimarie7659 Yes, I actually just recorded my next video...and I talk specifically about viburnum and Mother's Day blooms...of course depends on your climate..but I am aiming for Mother's Day viburnum as well!
