Thank you for keeping it simple and direct. So many youtubers chatter on endlessly before getting to the point. You two minimize the useless gab and I really appreciate it..
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Jose Peter i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
What a lovely couple. Loads of info on this video. Great idea about watering and evening planting. My first year succession planing and planting to a bigger degree in my yard raised bed garden. Perfect timing, I was getting so confused. Pest and disease pressure was a issue and I was about to "throw in the towel". I'm not alone🎉 what a relief.. May God bless you and shine his face upon you.
Such great information, exactly what I was looking for. I’m in 7b, so I’ll probably move that schedule up about a month. You’re both very good at teaching, everything is very easy to understand. Loved the outtakes, you too are so cute!
You are agreat team, love your way together. The idea of waiting until the last light of day, in the heat of the summer, and watering before planting, works. Brilliant idea. Thank you.
Found your channel 2nght in my feed. Assuming from watching starting flower farming. So inspired by you both and love how you share your valuable information with us. Would love to visit your farm someday. We have recently moved & upgraded to more land a year ago. Hubby and I are enjoying the inherited garden here. I played with a small patch of Zinnias, Cosmos, sunflowers, chamomile, and soon to start a medicinal herb garden. Roses have always been my favorite, but finding new loves with other types of flowers too. The property has so much potential, but we are both going with the flow until we feel what is going to work here. Enjoying learning more from your channel. Thank you both♥️ Hugs from Texas🥰💐🌹💐🌹💐🌻🌻🌻💞💞💞
This will be my first year succession planting and this was super helpful! Thank you. I’m Starting out slow in my yard using the time as my learning process. Hope to eventually move to a place with a little bit more space.
Excellent video!!! Thank you both! I am on my 3rd year dabbling with flowers. We are preparing the garden now and I am super motivated to focus on succession planting this year. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge 🌱🙌💃🏻🥰🩵 Happy planting 2023❣️
I won’t ever start a flower garden although this next year, my first year on my retirement homestead I am planning more flowers than I have ever grown. I find watching flower farm videos provides me an education since I know so little. Most flowers I don’t know the names of at this time so i am always eager to see what the flower looks like so I can start associating the name with the flowers. While you give very good information you don’t show a lot of flowers/varieties for us novices. Obviously, since your videos seem more on the successful business practices this probably isn’t a biggie but I bet there are some novices out there who would like to entertain the idea of farming.
You two are awesome! Your kind warm, gentle, vibes make this tricky topic more tangible! Thank you for sharing your plan. Greetings from Milwaukee! New grower here renting a 1/4 acre
Oh my Gosh, I have just found you guys on RUclips. Where have you been all my life! I have just started down this growing flowers road and my head is spinning. The hardest thing for me is trying to translate US seasons into mine because I'm in Australia. Also everyone uses fahrenheit and we have celsius :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos, thank you so much for being so generous with your experience and knowledge...now, back to binge watching your channel :)))))))
Just rewatching for the 3rd time. Question for Adam: what do you use to plant your sunflower successions? We have a tractor, but have been using an Earthway seeder because we are inly doing about five 100ft rows at a time, but we arent happy with the seed drops using the recommended corn plate. LOVE all your videos. So informative without extraneous chatter so many flower farmers add. Right to the point!
Great overview, will try successions in the coming year. For July transplants, I find a few days with shade cloth help transition them out if the weather is hot and dry.
Love it ! ❤ You guys are so helpful. You have inspired me so much I just have a 9 raised bed garden.Veg and Perennials. I have landscaped our just under half acre lot.But this yr. Im expanding my FLOWER GARDENS along the perimeter of the house ! and fenced in garden area.🌻🌿🌼 Thank you PS recieved my Lavender Salve etc . order everything was Wonderful !! ❤
Crazy helpful!!!! And my zone too. Love to hear more flowers you succession plant and their schedules. Snaps? China asters? Others? Could you share how hoop houses or caterpillar tunnels help you extend your season?
Very informative, clear and easy to understand. Your videos are very inspiring. Though I don't have a backyard, I grow some heat loving annual flowers 🌺🌺 in my 100 square feet small balcony. (Throughout the year our temperature is 80 - 93 degrees Fahrenheit)
Awesome video, finally some clarity on succession planting! I do have a question about when to rip out the old harvest? Do you rip everything out, then plant new succession and wait for that to bloom, or do you leave the old harvests and start the succession in a new row?
You have given us the best start at succession planting EVER! Other than the 2-week schedule for sunflowers thru late summer AND the ones you noted to 2-week plant only in the spring, do the rest of the list follow the same monthly planting plan as zinnias, cosmos & celosia?
Do you remove the old flowers that will still produce some, for example, zinnias? Do you leave your beds empty to prepare for the new plantings, or are you clearing the old stock and planting new in the same beds?
Thank you very much for the topic that is full of rich content Can I suggest if you can help us how to plant in space between space of each plant and spacing between after each rows that is kind of confusing for new grower like I am
Great information! Very helpful! You mentioned a cool weather flower that I'm not familiar with. It sounded like you said "ah-me", lol. Were you referring Ammi majus? Thank you for your videos. I always learn so much!
Thank you! One question I am always looking for an answer to is, are you ripping out the older plants to transplant the successions? I have a small corner lot, and very limited space, so what would your advice be to us smaller plot farmers for getting them into the ground? I don't really have room to leave space open for the next succession, because every available inch is taken. So, starting the successions are great to know, but how do you go about actually planting them out? Are you pulling up the older plants and replacing them with the transplants? Thank you for your insights! You have such a beautiful farm!
Yes, we take the old plants out. There's a short we did called flipping a row mid season. It's a time lapse of Adam taking out old plants and laying down fabric to plant a new one. Check it out!
@@PepperHarrow amazing, thank you! Gosh, it makes me nervous though. Our summers get into high 90's, even 100's in June sometimes in high desert Colorado, so I just worry over the poor babies getting smoked before they can get established. However, if I never do it, I'll never find tune it 😉 Again, thank you so much. And God bless you and your farm this year! 💜
I have a question and trying to figure out how to word it! I hope this makes sense, lol. So, my concern is placement when succession planting. For example, if I leave space in my Snapdragon bed for my second or third succession (or if I'm replacing spent plants) but have taller plants already growing around that space, the shade from them seems like it would be an issue for my new transplants or seeds, right? Can you please let me know how you plan around this? Do you leave completely separate beds open in another area for each succession? Or are you planting successions two and three in the same beds with things that were planted during the first succession? Thank you!
Very good information.... I will defiantly apply this method. I don't know if I'll have enough seed, but will try. The last succession- JUly- the dill won't bolt?
Great advice! I will definitely moisten the soil and plant the seedlings in the evening in the last succession. Good tip. My question is about your field. Do you leave space open for subsequent plantings? Do you plant, cut until the plant is done, pull up the plants, amend the soil, and plant again? I have a very small space. I am having sleepless nights trying to figure out this succession planting thing! Thank you for sharing your sage wisdom.
So for cosmos, celosia, zinnia, you are pulling the plants when the next batch of seedlings is ready to plant out? So you get 4 weeks of cutting from each of these before the next 4 weeks then the next 4 weeks? (They are only in the ground 4 weeks?)
@@PepperHarrow I get it -now that I have my first flowers growing it’s easier to figure out-I’m doing it with sunflowers already but will be pulling stock and some snaps and bells soon. My bell of Ireland got that brown leaf disease just as they were forming flowers. H
We use 72 cell trays for our seedlings and typically do 10 trays of each variety. Because of the quantity, we don’t soil block, but love the sustainability of that process. We only direct seed sunflowers, and sometimes zinnias and cosmos.
I just found you today, so excited! I love your videos. I saw in the one video you suggest landscape fabric to suppress weeds. So do you not do succession planting when you use the fabric? Do you pull the fabric up to ready the next planting. Or just plant in a bed that doesn't have the fabric on. I'm a brand new flower farmer on a 1/2 acre plot. Where do you buy your seeds? I've bought some through Johnny's and others but now that I've heard about succession planting I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy seeds in bulk.
We pull the fabric, till, lay it back down, and plant another succession in it. We buy seeds via Johnny’s as well! Great quality. We also buy from Renee’s, Swallowtail, and Select Seeds.
I requested this video but did not know I could learn this much, so thank you! I’m wondering how often and late in the season you plant snapdragons? Thanks 😊 Lauren
This is probably a silly question but do you pull out the previous succession and plant the next one in place? Or do you just save enough room in your beds to plant the second and let the first fade off?
Awesome video. My problem is finding enough room to plant things so many times. Do you pull the current zennias up to plant the next round? Or do you plant them in another place?
We'll pull the current zinnias up but plant something else in its place to rotate crops. The next round of zinnias would be planted in another row that is getting pulled up
Great video!! When you do your succession plantings, are you starting the seeds indoors then transplanting or just direct sowing once the weather has warmed and skip anything indoors?
I like your presentation, but you really didn't tell me how to plant in succession - ground prep, do I remove plants and plant in the same row?, space required. You said the same thing repeatedly through out the video - 60 day turn. That is the only take away. Thanks for the time, I will keep watching.
Thank you for keeping it simple and direct. So many youtubers chatter on endlessly before getting to the point. You two minimize the useless gab and I really appreciate it..

Another great video! Succession planning can be so hard to get on the books and follow through. 🌼
Come September, we're always saying to ourselves, " Thank God we planted that last succession!"
Very helpful video! And I like that your personalities are shining through more and more!🥰
Thanks! Slowly getting more comfortable in front of the camera

Thank you for asking this question. I have been searching for this answer. Yes! Now I understand the method entirely. I hope! 😂❤️
Please do another video on succession seeding, I am trying but just not getting it!
thank you so much! planning out my first cutting garden up here in CANADA lol. I am in Cape Breton Zone 6b :)
me too, I'm in Ontario, zone 5, doing backyard raised beds. thanks for clarifying about ripping out old plants to replace with new seedlings
How do I get an example of you succession plan or planner
You have given us the best start at succession planting EVER! Other than the 2-week schedule for sunflowers thru late summer AND the ones you noted to 2-week plant only in the spring, do the rest of the list follow the same monthly planting plan as zinnias, cosmos & celosia?
For the most part. Snaps and Lisis are slow starters
Do you remove the old flowers that will still produce some, for example, zinnias? Do you leave your beds empty to prepare for the new plantings, or are you clearing the old stock and planting new in the same beds?

Great information! Very helpful! You mentioned a cool weather flower that I'm not familiar with. It sounded like you said "ah-me", lol. Were you referring Ammi majus? Thank you for your videos. I always learn so much!
Correct!
I’m a little late here! When planting your succession, do you amend the soil at all? Or just pull out spend flowers and replant in same spot?
Extremely informative. Are you using a Dibbler or trowel to plant with. How are you irrigating so far from the house?
We plant with a butter knife. It works really well for plugs. We have a irrigation supply line with a booster pump

I think another viewer asked this in a different way but I just want to make sure I understand
They're each in the ground about three months. We'll either start a new row or till in and reuse. a spent (flowers done blooming) row

Great tips! Love your white compotes behind you, mind sharing where you got them?
I’ll have to ask Jenn, she collects them from all sorts of places 😂
Do you guys direct sow anything or is all seedlings? awesome videos! thanks for the bloopers!
Haha! Glad you liked the bloops. We rarely direct seed, but do direct seed sunflowers and occasionally cosmos and zinnias.
Do you direct sow any of the flowers mentioned ? Soil blocks? Or cell trays?
We use 72 cell trays for our seedlings and typically do 10 trays of each variety. Because of the quantity, we don’t soil block, but love the sustainability of that process. We only direct seed sunflowers, and sometimes zinnias and cosmos.

We plant our last snaps in late May
This is probably a silly question but do you pull out the previous succession and plant the next one in place? Or do you just save enough room in your beds to plant the second and let the first fade off?
We rip an existing one out and put a new one in. There’s another video where we show this: Planting mid-season...
Awesome video. My problem is finding enough room to plant things so many times. Do you pull the current zennias up to plant the next round? Or do you plant them in another place?
We'll pull the current zinnias up but plant something else in its place to rotate crops. The next round of zinnias would be planted in another row that is getting pulled up
You guys are amazing and beautiful together! I have a question for you. What flowers can be planted between the fruit trees in a orchard? Thanks
If you have sun between, you can plant anything. If its shady, hellebores and hydrangea are 2 good options
Great video!! When you do your succession plantings, are you starting the seeds indoors then transplanting or just direct sowing once the weather has warmed and skip anything indoors?
The only thing we direct sow are sunflowers. Everything else is transplanted.
@@PepperHarrow so do you have seedlings always growing indoors or do you time when to sow the seeds?
When succession planting, in one season, do you replant the same flower in the same spot ?
No, we rotate them. 👍
@@PepperHarrow Thought so, thank you for the reply !
Hi. I have a maybe silly question, I am not a farmer. What happen in winter, you can not to plant flowers, and sell.
I’m still trying to get a grip on succession planting so I really appreciate the information you shared.
#moonshadowflowerfarm
Thanks for sharing your “basic succession plan” 🤣
Why don’t you direct seed zinnias and cosmos?
Gives us more control starting in trays
What is your normal watering schedule?
Heavily in the beginning of all the plants are establishing and we lighten off after that
Do you sell the pots behind you?
We usually only sell them on-farm.
I like your presentation, but you really didn't tell me how to plant in succession - ground prep, do I remove plants and plant in the same row?, space required. You said the same thing repeatedly through out the video - 60 day turn. That is the only take away. Thanks for the time, I will keep watching.
