You folks inspired me to grow amaranth this past season, I grew five plants, a giant orange variety. I got about two cups of seeds, and have made amaranth pancakes twice. A bit of work, but very satisfying and delicious! Thanks!
My great grandma lived to 100 so I knew her for at least 1/2 my life. She was the queen of Dahlia's. She provided flower arrangements for her country church every Sunday and entered arrangements at the local competitions every year. They were big, colorful and most of them looked like 4th of July fire works. My childhood memories are a bit vague but I seem to remember her putting a match to the bottom of her dahlia stems before putting into water. Does that make sense to anyone? I'm a fan, but not enough to grow them myself. To have to stake, deadhead, water, fertilize and dig up before winter is more work than I want to give to my flowers. My first love in gardening is growing food and experimenting with all the different varieties. I'm growing 17 different watermelons and 32 different tomatoes this 2023 garden year. I usually have 130 to 150 different seeds to start each year. I find great affection watching you in your gardens. We are def. in the cold season now and I'm headed out to shovel chip for about 60 min to get my exercise during the winter. So giving a shout out from Aurora, Oregon at a balmy 43 degrees. Just down the street from a famous dahlia farm in Canby.
Not only frost, but snow! Lots of snow! Yikes! Hope it melted quickly so you could get your bulbs in. Pity you don’t have some hooped row covers for those strawberries and dahlias to extend them just a little longer. You sure have plenty of dried flowers. Now you have a lot of bouquets to get ready for the show. Are you going to sell some by the stem also? 😊💖🦋🕊
Oh my Gosh! “Now you need to plant bulbs” !?! Lol! You two Crack me up, reminds me of myself so much. I think there’s going to be a warming trend coming up, you’ll get it all done. I’m looking at planting 150 peonies, keeping my fingers crossed that this warming trend happens, peony should arrive this week..
Since you weren't able to get the bulbs planted (or the peonies), it is my suggestion that you plant them in boxes. Then in the spring plant the boxes where you would have planted the bulbs. The box will rot out and add to the soil. It's not like you need to water them. The peonies could also be planted in boxes unless you have containers for them. Best of luck with all that.
are you happy that you focus your farm on flowers? are you still nearing your goals? i enjoy each and every video you post...even rewatch a few of them!
You guys should show us the veggies you plant for yourselves you grow the prettiest veggies I ever seen I don't know how people can resist them at market
Laughed hard at Ian being all 'I'm going to go and... but! Ok, now I'm...but!...But...Tomato!...' We all know you just couldn't have made it through the winter without it! 🤣
The last of the flowers are still gorgeous! Floor tomatoes. Funny, I couldn't find that variety at any of the seed companies...😂😂😂. You guys are mighty hard workers! You deserve big success!
I love lisianthus so much! I grew about 300 for my little cutflower farm this year & trialed a bunch of different series. My favorite is the pink & white picotee so far!
I hope you can have the bulbs planted for the next video! Omg you have lots and lots of dried flowers! I can't wait to see how you sell them all! I loved today's video because was the end of the season. You've finished already the heavy season and even if you still have some heavy stuff to do (cof, cof, bulbs, cof, cof) you're pretty much done. You deserve some rest!
You two are the hardest working most down to earth farmers/Gardners (whatever you are called) I watch. Yoy have inspired me to do a huge flower garden in 2023. Can't wait till the seed catalogs start arriving.
It's hard to watch those beautiful flowers going to be froze, those dry flowers look beautiful I can see you making beautiful bouquet from them take care guys.
Omg new subscriber here 😍. Where have you been all my life?🤣 U2 Crack me up and are just so downtown earth. Man you have alot of flowers still going. The end was a classic. Love it! I'm so ready for spring. I never want it to end. Thanks for sharing...🥰
I went to sort through all my dried flowers yesterday, which are hung in an excellent drying shed through the summer. After two weeks of torrential rain, 80% had gone mouldy! It was like a punch in the gut! So my season is ending early and hopefully that will prove a blessing in disguise. I loved looking at all yours though and I hope that they sell well!x
I hope the weather got better. Didn't you plan to plant the bulb this year in a kind of raised beds? (in compost instead of your ground for easier picking them). Perhaps that can still work if you plow away the snow and put down frames for the compost? Just saw a channel were the flower plants all her tulips in crates instead of in the ground and she puts the crates on top off the soil. Good luck !
Excited to see all the things you do with dried flowers this winter! Also, I was super excited to hear that Maarn/Sylvia is your favorite dahlia, bc it’s mine too!
Hi Serena and Ian, I been following your channel for a few years already. You guys are amazing at what you do! Would you be able to make a video on what’s the best flowers for drying? Thank you
Great bonus on end of season folks ,such a great flower harvest this year. Now are you serious about not been able to plant the bulbs beforehand the snow storm???😇🤞
@@RTCPhotoWork - yes, I saw them. But if the jackets are wide open, the layers won't help very much, because the cold air gets in anyways. 😉 I've lived in a cold climate in Northern Europe for 54 years myself, so I've learned well the lesson about zipping my jackets and winter coats... 😁🥶😅❤
Craft fair ? Excellent idea of a venue for your dried flowers !?! Wow. I’ve always felt stupid to buy prepackaged craft supplied/decorations. Local dried flowers seems a good compromize of convenience and sustainability

Can I ask where u purchased I would like to order them

Same here ! I had a few bulbs to plant out front, but we got so much snow already! I'm hoping we get a few warm days ahead.
Darn snow and frost disrupted some of my plans, too!
That is a mega dust pan lol what type of cliff hanger was that? lol
I love lisianthus so much! I grew about 300 for my little cutflower farm this year & trialed a bunch of different series. My favorite is the pink & white picotee so far!

I keep thinking about your bulbs...wondering if you've found a window of warm weather or a solution to get them planted.
Love the format of this one! It kept going and it was fun to see some of the additional chores you guys do. ❤❤❤
Oh, statice flower crown is such a boho thing, love it, even dried one.

Congratulations on season 2022! And to Ian for getting a great time lapse in this video :)
I with you Ian.. love the purple Lisianthus
What a wonderful team you both are. Flower Power 💐

Lovely farm soo beautiful, great harvest.👍👍
It's so satisfying to watch all the harvesting and drying!!!
@12:22 what is that called? I need one of those!
Been with you for year's an still love your videos 👏👏
Maby you can spray drayed flowers/grasses gold, silver .... for christmas. We can buy them here to make pur one piece.
Excited to see all the things you do with dried flowers this winter! Also, I was super excited to hear that Maarn/Sylvia is your favorite dahlia, bc it’s mine too!
You can DO IT!!❤❤😂
you are lucky to have stretched it for this long here in Quebec is long done.
I hope you could safe as much as possible from the frost ...
Are you digging out the Dahlias ?
Or you treat them like annuals on your farm ?
So I think that brides are incorporating dried flowers in their wedding!! ❤
please remember to cancel skillshare after a month if not you are stuck for a whole year. prices are qouted per month but you cant get it per month.
Hi Serena and Ian, I been following your channel for a few years already. You guys are amazing at what you do! Would you be able to make a video on what’s the best flowers for drying?
Thank you
2 words- Time Management 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Such a cliffhanger at the end!! If the snow melts, you might get a chance to get out there. Hard to say at this time of the year though😬
Serina , the hair suits you.
Great bonus on end of season folks ,such a great flower harvest this year. Now are you serious about not been able to plant the bulbs beforehand the snow storm???😇🤞
You need a machine to gently go over flowers
to cut & bundle.
Do they make such a thing?
We were at 29 degrees F this morning. Brrrrrrr.... I shouldn't complain. Between now and the end of March, we'll see much worse...
Have you planted tulips bulps and peonies in time? Wish you all the best!
You make plans and then life happens. Tomato based lifeforms can't handle the frost
Love this 🌹🌺 🌻🍓
Bonjour félicitations belle entreprise, sincère, nature à bientôt
THE END OF THE VIDEO IS MESSED UP. STARTS AT WHERE YOU SAID YOU SHOULD OF BEEN PLANTING BULBS I STEAD OF HARVESTING. 26:40
Thanks I'll fix that. I finished editing at 230 am and sometimes something slips through
Yeah... zone 5, Iowa. We have snow. No bulbs in ground. At least I got my garlic in? lol WHY SNOW WHY
Очень интересное полезное видео. Привет из России💕
I use a very long bread knife it goes super fast
Zip up, Serina: you'll feel a lot warmer! 😬❤💕 A jacket on without zipping it up is almost the same as you'd have no jacket on at all... 🥶😳
Did you see how many layers were under it?
@@RTCPhotoWork - yes, I saw them. But if the jackets are wide open, the layers won't help very much, because the cold air gets in anyways. 😉
I've lived in a cold climate in Northern Europe for 54 years myself, so I've learned well the lesson about zipping my jackets and winter coats... 😁🥶😅❤
FLOOR TOMATOES ARE THE BEST! ;)
Craft fair ? Excellent idea of a venue for your dried flowers !?! Wow. I’ve always felt stupid to buy prepackaged craft supplied/decorations. Local dried flowers seems a good compromize of convenience and sustainability
Are saving the dailas rots for next year
at 5:26 is it evelyn? i just ordered some... omg sooo pretty ahaha
Would you grow poppies fortheseed pods in your dried arrangements?
I just remembered, you used to have chickens. Where are they? 🤔
Cool 🆒️ 🥶🥶🥶😨😰
I don't know about these Canadian weather men
Why sell the stem you pull off the dahlia, I would buy
🤞it will be ok
Its okay Dahlias also hate Alberta

I always say the best part about the first day of fall (or winter) is that you are 1 day closer to summer being back, lol
