The farm keeps us busy, but sometimes its too busy to actually get some of the work done that actually keeps the farm rolling. This is where we find ourselves currently, behind because of numerous things beyond our control, the only thing we can do is get to it, and start busting through those tasks to get the farm back in order. But can we do all that, plus find time to successfully sell at the farmers market and stock the roadside stand, that will be the challenge.

That was a really cute promo for Native Deodorant!
Hope floats when you're young and strong, when you have each other, and the farm is an awesome place to raise kids. If people will buy flowers during the recent economic times, then things will only get better. Keep your eyes on the prize. Don't forget that the shaky times are only the times between here (wherever "here" is at any given time), and success (where you want to be). Don't doubt yourselves; doubt is where failure lives. I know you can do this. And so do you. 🤗💖

Ian, no one would notice your inside out shirt because Sam was looking so cool! His outfit! My heart!
What a kid. Great video you guys.
Mosquito head net would totally help when Ian is tilling at night. In that sequence by the way - watching the stars move (seemed like) - so cool!! You both are doing a great job:)
The enthusiasm is catching for summer! Thanks for another great video.
Does your Red Roof market sign fit across the front of your table cloth? I wonder if it would be out to better use if it were visible at the front of your stand.🤷🏽♀️
I LOVE your arrangements 💐. The colors are amazing and vibrant.
Congrats on a solid week of sales!!! And more congrats for getting the things planted. Your future selves will thank you! I reallllly like the crate planting method. Seems much easier to plant, and then clean up after all the cuttings are harvested. What other flowers could you plant like this? Would the ranunculus work in crates? Maybe plant inside then move crates out when temps are right. Just a thought. Can’t wait to see the peonies. I keep trying but have yet to have any successful plants. Such a grandma memory for me! Big hugs for continued progress. I think Ian has the right idea- when things are done and organized, happiness and sleep abounds with minimal worry and stress. Keep doing all the things to get to that zen zone with your business. I’m glad to see no all nighters this week! Oh and go get a new camera this week! Seeing the booth saves time and keeps your customers always seeing a full supply. There is a psychological thing when shoppers see low inventory that prevents them from buying when they perceive scant selections. Big hugs! Em 🌸🌷🌼🌻💐❤❤❤
I start my day with a cup of coffee and your video.And then I go to work in my garden.
Your kids adorable! Love that Sam went to the market to be a helper!
Sam I loved your flower shirt!!! Glad you all had a great week!! 💖💖🎶🎶
You all are awesome!
You guys are pretty amazing. So much pressure right now but ALWAYS smiling faces prevailing. You give much hope as well as joy with these videos. I love seeing new ones pop up. Hang in.....sending good juju your way!! 😂❤
Good job, Sam! You helped Dad boost those sales by being a good salesman!
Sam, you have the coolest market outfit! Hope you had a good time with your daddy!
(So lovely to see his excitement!)
I'm relieved to see you're also just now getting your Gladiolus/summer crops out! I'm having a similar year with illness and odd weather. I really hope you're successful.
Agreed I only planted my glads two days ago
Same here ...
Mine are still in bags! I'm gonna try planting closely in my beds, like in the crates. Always hopeful! 😊
Pausing this video before the bouquets are done and will watch later. Just wanted to comment from something in the beginning of your Q&A video. I have never considered anything you've said whining. In fact, I'm so impressed and inspired how you seem to always see the bright side of even a "failed" experiment. Ignore that comment from the producer. And I'm not a youtuber, no idea the algorithms, but I'd have been happy to have this broken into two 15 - 20 min videos. I could watch the whole thing in one viewing and know that in a day or two there'd be more of you to see. Things are looking good and thanks for sharing your info and life.
100% on face masks when dealing with soil, mulch, and compost. I garden with my mom who is 71 now. She's gardened her whole life but not like super crazy until recently. Anyway, just being around the dust from the soil causes her to cough really bad so I always make sure she has one on now and I have one on 90% of the time that I'm going to be working with a lot of soil, perlite, vermiculite, or mulch in bulk.
I am 1000 miles away in NC in USA and Canadian fires smoke keep me sick everyday. You guys are some tough cookies! ❤
Y'all, I love when you sync the snipping sounds as Serena cuts the flowers to the music. Its very satisfying. I can appreciate the effort it takes to do that, I used to make art videos and I would do something similar where I'd sync different shots with the music. That takes a lot of effort. Your plants are loking great and the garden beds are getting reolanted quickly. Pays off to have all those seeds started!!
Serena or Serina, I'm not sure the correct way to spell your name. My mother-in-law is named Serena with two Es.
It's spelt Serina. The editing to the music takes a lot of time but I feel it really elevates the videos
Soooooo happy!!! Hard work and little bit of luck 🧡🧡🧡
Beautiful flowers 💐🌹 thank you for sharing the video good luck and all the best.
Seeing a new video just makes my day!! Thanks guys ❤
Love your content ❤
I'm so glad you're back into regular weekly content and markets!!🎉
I missed these videos! ❤
Love the sound of Serena harvesting those beautiful ranunculus 👍🌺🇲🇾
How sweet!!!! I am going to the market with my daddy....❤. God bless y'all for all you do and for being such an inspiration. 😊
Also omg $1540!!! And that's so fun Sam went with Ian!
We were also dealing with smokefrom fires in Canada nere in NY last week. I'm in my late sixties and I don't ever remember that happening. Glad you're getting everything done.
Ian’s look in the hat with the long hair and the facial hair in this video makes me think of the dude from the Muppets in the band. 🤣
YES!!!!
I experienced that Canadian smoke last weekend while at a dog show in the Virginia mountains. My lungs and eyes were burning. I can really feel for you living with that all summer every year,
Wow so beautiful planting ❤❤❤
Yay! Great video!!! I’m so happy to see the farm growing!
Snowberry is the shrub in the next lot.
I planted a bunch around my property.
Do you use raspberry in your bouquets ? It's beautiful too
The Ranunculus were gorgeous. Love your videos. You guys need to consult and get advice from some time management experts stat. You can’t be having the same problems three years ongoing. Serena can video herself whilst checking and collecting the cash from the register. Why is Ian there videotaping her? Same with Serena harvesting flowers. Set up a tripod and Ian doesn’t have to follow her around videotaping. He could finish other tasks. Seems your time can and should be better managed.
Congratulations on persevering through such a challenging spring ! So glad there was a strong market 💚
30:25
congratulations!
that’s great 👍🏾😃
I really liked the star timelapse! And beautiful tilled dirt!
Your flowers always look beautiful ❤ your hard work show in every blog!
Love your videos guys, they are always a joy to watch, love sharing time with you 😊
Sam is so cute! He looked so happy to go with his Daddy to market!
15:49 OMG!!!! Is this the variety of ranunculus that I’m following since last year??!!! OMG!!! Soooo beautiful!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Edit : 26:52 OMG!! She’s soooo pretty!!!🧡🧡🧡
great job at the market! your bouquets looked gorgeous. I binge watched your videos from this season last night, glad to see yall recovering from covid and getting some good sales numbers for the farm. Sending love!
Love these videos!!
Great market! I do love ranunculus, so beautiful! 💯❣️
It’s great to be gardening again lovely video as always,smiles all round cheers to the sunshine .
Hi guys.. I just want to suggest maybe you should try to let your customers make their own bouquet. Like for example the customers pick what flowers they like to include in their bouquet.
Will you dig your ranunculus for next year? I bet the corms got lots of growth since you didn't get many flowers.
Out in the beds it might look sparse but in the bucket and then bouquet was great
The flowers look absolutely beautiful this week! Those giant alliums are so cool.
The white tent looks great too...the flowers really pop more. Have you thought about maybe swapping out the red roof family farm banner at the back of the tent to a red banner to keep the branding red?
I'm coming out to Kelowna in July and hopefully I can catch you at the market one weekend! Looking forward to some flowers.
Fantastic.The ranunculus look so gorgeous!
So glad you posted :)
You really should get sponsored by peltz or black diamond headlamps!!
So sorry for the fires, we got the smoke for 3 days from the Canada wildfires too in NE PA here. I feel for ya, it was awful! 😢✌🏻❤️
I am so happy for you guys! I hope this sales trend continues upwards.
Look into getting a head net for bugs! You should be able to find them for about $5 ☺
Thank you for bringing delight in our eyes and smiles on our lips. Hello from Manila
You guys work so hard you both deserve so much success 🙏. You live in such a beautiful place 😍. Jo UK 🙂
In all your spare time come early fall, you need to dig up some of that shrubbery next door and begin a hedge row of it along the edge/ property line of the farm just in case.
Hi guys, My YCETG addiction is being well-fed! Thank you Ian for the synch snip! The tour and this video are so upbeat and fun. So happy for all of us YCETG addicts that things are doing better at the farm, market, and stand. Hope the good run continues this summer.
The mystery bush sure looks like Lonicera kamtschatica (haskaps) a lovely edible fruit. If anyone had time to check out the flowers and or fruit and identify it, could be a forage spot for more than just foliage
The way you time the cut sounds to the music is always so mesmerizing!
No heat here yet. While the rest of Canada burns, we are getting Constant RDF (Rain, drizzle and fog) 108mm+ in the last three days.
your peony field looks fantastic! can't wait to see them next year, but the year after that, oh boy😍
The shirt!!!! Bwahahaha. Too funny!
I'm just as bad, got real sick and still trying to heal. I've got some much that has to go into the ground! STRESS! love Caroline
I can't wait to see the Glads when they start blooming. I like that you've found such an easier method for you to grow them too.
We had smoke here in Ontario. I have been taking two Mulein leaves in A jug of water. It is refreshing. I cannot make any claims about it but continue to crush herbs into cold water. TAKE GOOD CARE.
Love the new tent! Makes the flowers pop out a lot more. Love these videos! Have you guys thought about grocery stores or local businesses as a side?
I did the same thing with my gladiolus corms too. But my crates I get from an Asian super market, they are vegetable crates. They are a bit taller and narrower. I could fit about 40 corms.
Ian, you were just cool as a cucumber at the market this week❤🎉
I love listening to videos like this while catching up on Farm & Garden chores myself...
That night sky time lapse was so cool!
I am SO excited to watch this summer- I feel like you'll be rocking it like never before!
So organized ! So early ! So successful !
Sorry it's been a difficult start to the year, but isn't nature glorious?! Great work!
You guys are getting so close to your $$$$ a week goal!
The key to your success is definitely a roadside stand. You definitely need 1-2 big bouquets at the stand, try at least on weekends. Good luck!
So cool 😎 Sam. Going to market with your Dad! I love watching all your vlogs! “Whining” or not. That is what makes you human and endearing. Very happy to hear the market was a great success. Wonder if Sam added some of his magic to the mix…😊 cheers all ❤
Love the funky intro music so glad to see things looking up for yall THX
I'm stressing 😫 out myself when I watch this. It makes me want to fly-in to help you!!!
very pleasant plantation, lush fertile plants friends
You can do it!!!
OMG Sam is so cute!
Weather is crazy. We started off June here in central Mexico with a stretch of record breaking cold temps. Now we're in a stretch of record breaking high temps. :/
I know you didn’t mean it like it sounded, but… “Ian and I don’t like scents” standing in front of a flower garden. lol
Interested in how you are combating the couch grass. It’s enemy no. 1 here
We had local fires in 2020 and in at least our part of the USA, free masks were fairly obtainable; and many of good quality.
Bucket of ranunculus -- gorgeous!!
Also a flower farmer, also totally love Native.. and definitely not sponsored 😂
Im enjoying every updates of yours🤗🤗 Love your flower arrangements.
So, Whats the thickness of the paper are you using for Flower wrap?
Bring back the red tent 🎪
You've got my vote
I am from Europe and seeing the roadside stand having an open door with the air conditioner running is kind of bugging me in a weird way. Just thought that is kinda funny because here there either wouldn't be an air conditioner or at least a glass door. It is just not that common to use it here and the electricitybill would become astronomical 😂
Do yo even need the wood for the tulip and gladiolus bed?
My understanding is that the tillage of couch grass rhizomes is essentially creating more plants? Do you feel that this method is helping to reduce?!!
Haha! Sales went up when you turned your shirt right side out. Check that t-shirt next weekend, Ian! Lol
Just messing with ya! Congrats!
You totally should have de budded those peonies! 😂 I just removed all buds from new hydrangeas...no time for sentiment. Fabulous bouquets as always. Just a thought but why are not growing aquilegias? I have thousands flowering, self seed, great vase life, easy harvest, grow like a weed..fits all your criteria.
Have you ever thought of potting up tomatoes and peppers and putting them on the floor of the shed store to sell? You used to have so many people that bought their veg plants from you, it would be a shame not to capitalize on that. Or to waste the ones that you have grown already. Every sale/dollar matters.
It would be nice if there was a market or business willing to buy your after market surplus.
Suggestion: why not have flowers in buckets so that customers can make their own bouquets at the farmers market?
That would be difficult to manage and may lead to wastage due to damaged flowers/ stems (as some customers may not be very careful).
No not everybody knows how to handle delicate flowers. Flowers will be riuned
I need to do ranunculus better. And maybe buy some different varieties.
