    Oh my goodness! I can't believe how far you've come, in both presentation and production.
    Could you believe, sitting there, that you'd have people not just watching your videos, but buying your books and stuff too!
    Thanks for keeping at it all this time, you've really done some good here.

    Oh my goodnees!!!! I have been watching you a long time, but I didnt realize how young you were when you started! Way to go. I have 4 boys, oldest is 13, and I'm encouraging them to find what they love and learn from mentors, share, make money, anything! My oldest has been selling eggs for years, but he gets nervous about advertising. You should do a video about being a youth and getting started with your passion! 💕 just an idea 😁

    I thought I couldn't do this but I tried anyways. I ended up going a little nuts on how many cuttings I did on various plants like dappled willow, hydrangea, Spirea, Arborvitae, etc. Ended up with like 1,00 plants. A guy called me off of Craig's list on something else, and when he noticed what was going on in my back yard, he wanted to check it out, I said" these dappled willows, I'll hope to sell for 7 bucks once they grow a little bit bigger for next year", he said, " They seem like a decent size, but since I have the trailer with me, could I get 30 of them for like 5 a piece?" So I made 150 dollars not even expecting it from plants that weren't even big enough for a 1 gallon pot yet! Since I produced them like in an assembly line, I probably only had like an hour , maybe 2 into those 30 plants. He then brought his wife back the next day and she bought only 5 plants of all different types. so that was another 25 bucks. That was last year, now the dappled willows will go for at least 10 to 15 bucks a piece based on the big box stores. Mine are so much better too, because I properly pruned them over the past 2 years. Pruning each plant takes about 5 seconds a plant. I think I'm on to something!

    Thank you SO much for linking to the other videos in the series. It seems difficult on RUclips to find the other videos for some reason, even doing a search. It is so helpful when creators put the links in. Love all of your videos. Thank you for sharing what you learn.

    Great video Huw. It is great to see you taking the initiative to start your own business. This is something I plan to start although more as a hobby than a business.

    just remember some plants may sell better in one area and not so well in others as a favorite in the garden, also what may considered a flower or an annual may well be treated as a week in other locations. otherwise fantastic idea sir look forward to the next video :) I'll be soon going around getting soft wood cuttings for rooting :)
