Making spring perennial bouquets: Permission to overstuff & be profitable 😉
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- The field is finally pumping out bloom and not just any blooms but perennial blooms! We make a few bouquets this week for the country store I sell at. I talk about second year perennials & self seeding flowers and then we make bouquets. I also give an update on the country store as a small retail sales outlet including how I structure commission.

💐 Looking for a reliable, rugged and refined focal that you can succession plant throughout the entire season? You need lilies! I'm selling 25x and 50x increments on bit.ly/44s6v4o - We've got roselilies, non fragrant lilies, and double non fragrant lilies for multiple weeks.
I was grinding to get my video out and just get a chance to watch this video! First of all, thank you so much for the permission to overstuff 😂🤣😂 It’s so true! My feverfew and yarrow comes back second years strongly without doing anything. You are right that the yarrow gets paler in their third year. But that’s good for selling to wedding florist, and pastel color pallets. I will rip out 2/3 and will start new with colorful mix. Thanks again for the shout out and the drone shot! 😘❤️❤️❤️

I am a farmer living in the tropics. As much as I would love to farm flowers there is not a big market for it here in jamaica. However, watching you for some time teaches me a lot of things. I have watched you grow and get better at what you do. Therefore, whatever tips I find useful I will apply to my business to help me make a profit. This is my first year and I have already made some mistakes but I will learn and grow. 😊❤
Thank you! And that's the goal right? To keep growing and learning so that we can get better. I wish you the best of luck in year 1! ❤
Would targeting tourists doing intimate destination wedding work? I imagine you supplying them bloom buckets that they can diy when they get there
Following you for almost 2 years and wanted to say I really like your video's, they are full of interesting information. Well done!💚
Thank you! I appreciate this!
Good discussion on perennials, lovely bouquets, been watching you from the start, so good to see how you build on the small opportunities and have consistently moved forward.
Thank you, Glenda! I really appreciate this ☺️
I think self seeded annuals can be thought of as perennials too. Those are beautiful bouquets ❤
I think of them that way too! But the thinning process is mentally excruciating! Who gets to live? 🤣
Take a four inch stirrup hoe through your self seeded areas. Create a grid in the bed by hoeing four inches east to west across the bed then north to south down the bed. When you re done you'll have small clumps four inches apart throughout your bed. You can then thin if each clump is still crazy but lots of times you can just leave the couple extra. Works on buplerum, larkspur, bachelor buttons, feverfew@@bareflowerfarm
Love those bouquet!
Thank you! ☺️
You have to keep in mind you had to keep them alive.. but totally get it.
Such an informative video thankyou so much, love your channel
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Love you girl, no spray is so good. ❤❤❤❤
🤗💜
I didn't realize that making a bouquet is hard work. I have a small garden mainly roses, i have 17 roses, 11 different kind of peonies, 5 hydrangeas and about 50 Irises in my small yard. I don't cut them though because water in the jar with flowers either turned brown or green and it get stinks even after 2 to 3 days.. So, now I know that there are tablets or things you can use to avoid bacteria build up in the water... thank you for that...
it's best to add Floralife and change the water every 2 days. I mix up the Floralife by the galloon so I always have some. Re-clip the stems when you change the water. You can buy Floralife in a big tub or in individual packets. I used to work in a flower shop so I know the smell of rotten water very well.
Omg sooo much work! I didn’t anticipate that either! Hopefully the floral solution or CVBN tablet can help you in the future!
Great video Jess,
I found ladybug eggs on my fever few vegmo, from last year. I have thrips on my strawflowers. I have been sick in bed with a flu, so can't wait to get back out there.. on Monday. I'll have to remove them. They curl up the leaves.
Sorry to hear about the thrips on strawflowers. They are capable of eating anything with pollen but it's interesting how certain people get it on one crop versus another. I seem to be the only one who I know who gets it on my feverfew lol
Have you done a video strictly about your co op and selling to them? I would love a chat about that. They are starting a flower coop in my state and I am trying to be a part of it. Very excited to learn, I haven't sold wholesale before.
Hi! I actually have a live that I did on this topic. It could answer some questions that you have! ruclips.net/user/liveDHGjqIjl1CU?si=jIA36XR2zZOwK-El
I need to go back and watch your thrips video - I’ve been debating whether I should leave my snaps as a trap crop or rip them out. 😬 This was a very informative video as always!
My learning is, there is no such thing as a trap crop with thrips bc they multiply so quickly and will basically eat anything with pollen. A trap crop is good for a pest that is attracted to just a few plants. I personally would rip out!
@@bareflowerfarm you’ve convinced me. :)
💯
Do you have a video on the lasagna method for tulips and lilies? We're they all fall planted. I am super interested in this method.
Yup! Check out from min 1:09

Thank you for all the good info! I’ve been worried about including sea holly in my bouquets because of them being prickly. Is there a particular variety that you grow that avoids that?
Mine are definitely prickly and I find that if you harvest less mature when it is still a bit more green, it is less prickly. But that's why I wear gloves when I harvest 😅
Hi! Love seeing you use nigella cause mine self seeded itself and it’s everywhere but I kinda love it 😅 question, did you change cameras? If so, what are you using?
Haha nigella is the flower that keeps on giving! And yes, I got a new camera. It’s the DJI osmo pocket 3. We were so impressed with their drone camera quality that I got the vlogging camera and I LOVE IT!
Hai sepupu crane hobby yg sama menanam n merangkai bunga sis,di indirdonesia zinia tak sebanyak di us sis Jeny a
Ku sudah subsribe chanelmu maju terus,sukse besar buatmu kak Jeny.central borneo indo jaks
Yay for no spray
NO spray unite!
Jess which lily variety do you find the best . We are in uk and only grow for funeral arrangements . Thankyou . Love your channel.
Hi! I’m actually not super familiar with western style funerals (I guess that’s a good thing since I haven’t been to any). I would stick with LA hybrids because they don’t have a fragrance. One white lily worth looking into is Eyeliner. You’ll see why it’s called that when you see a photo!
@@bareflowerfarm thankyou for taking the time to reply
I´m planning on planting a few beds of Digitalis (different varieties) this fall, for blooms next summer. Do you know the best and most efficient spacing?
I would say 9 inches minimum. They can get big and beefy!
Jess, we have very hard water and loads of chlorine here.. do I still need holding solution?
I would think that the amount of chlorine in drinking water is probably no where near the level needed to kill bacteria. You can test. If you put dirty stems in a bucket and it starts smelling pretty quickly, you'll know that the water is dirty and therefore not enough chlorine.
What type of lilies are the best for cut flowers and don’t smell awful?!
LA hybrids! 80% of what I grow are those because then I can sell them retail without worrying about people getting a migraine just from going into the store! Those are also the ones I’m reselling (roselilies are slightly fragrant)
What spacing do you use for the lilies?
I treat them as annuals so they can be crowded quite close together. Prob like 2 inch spacing?
I'm looking for a dark shinny foliage.. any suggestions?
Have you considered shisho or cinnamon basil?
Q? Do you sheet mulch in between rows?
Do you mean using cardboard? If so, yes and some rows have had another layer of cardboard applied this year.
Jess, I noticed your exposed insulation anyway you can get that covered up with dry wall? If not right away keep exposure to a minimum friend🙏🏼
I was going to say the same thing. Insulation constantly sheds and is beyond unhealthy. Not good for the lungs, eyes, open pores, etc. at all. We just gave that (much longer) speech to my brother in law and thankfully, after looking into it, he has drywalled his basement ceiling.
Lol on the longggg list of to-do's in this house! Thank you though!
@@bareflowerfarm You can always staple vapour barrier over it in the mean time. Or, do what we did in my seed room after insulating. We stapled tyvek - or exterior vapour barrier over it, we did this because its white and reflects light.
Do you worry about selling foxglove due to its toxic nature? I'm still learning in this department...
Not anymore. The fact is, a lot of flowers we grow are toxic- lilies, tulips, larkspur, etc. I sell majority to florists who do event work but I do put a sticker on retail bouquets warning people to keep away from pets and not to eat!
can yarrow be invasive if not pruned?
It’s not invasive like mint but it definitely spreads! So it’s something to stay on top of if you won’t want a ton of it
Note it’s a native in much of the US and covers alot of empty fields. Usually the native yarrow is the bright yellow or a white.
hey Jessie! I binge watched a bunch of your videos, super helpful of these money talks for small flower farmer/florist myself! I've shoot you an email, le me know if you are interested in what I mentioned. Looking forward! 💜
Hi! Thanks for the kind comment! I'll respond sometime later this evening or tomorrow :)
Are you going to get some peonies? They’re deer proof 🥳
So I have 10 that I put in early spring. 1/3 have been eaten by deer 😂. I know they will regenerate but this was a small test to see if I would need to protect them and the answer is a clear yes aka lower priority. I may put in a few more peonies but no where near the level that others are!
@@bareflowerfarm oh my god, peonies are the only thing around here the deer won’t touch. You have some deer I must say!
Do you have to have a business license/horticulteral license to sell at that store??
I have a business license but the store didn't require that. No horticultural license needed though (I don't have one)
So when you rip out your thrip infested crop, are you bagging and trashing it or composting?
Last year I had so many, like over 200’plants that I couldn’t throw them away so they got composted. This year. They’re getting thrown away!
Realistically, I have a lot of clover on our property where our thrips overwinter so… I have a steady supply of thrips unless if we use weed killer for the clover which I’m not gonna do especially on 3 acres
Haikenalan sis sepupunya crane yah okey sika hobby merangkai n tanam bunga ,zinnia yg ada di indonesia nggak banyak macamnya sp
