Thank you SO much! I flew by the seat of my pants last year starting. I grew everything from winter sowing in milk jugs and gallon ziplock bags . It worked! I want to have the confidence to start more seeds indoors.
Thank you so much!! Home gardener here who dreams of selling flowers. Every year I start hundreds of seeds, got soil blocking down, and countless beautiful bouquets throughout the season, but no confidence to transition to selling. I really appreciate your efforts here. It’s keeping my dream alive.
Thank you so much for this very informative video. It's quiet fortuitous that you would be talking about this content today because I was working on the same thing for my small scale, micro-farm, backyard business. I know the exact size of my space and how many each of the flowers to grow per square foot. I've completed the calculations for my income and production goals. The work you did helps me a lot. I plan to make a total of 15 bouquets and arrangements per week.
Thank you so much for this series on starting a flower farm! This will be my first year selling cut flowers and it's been so hard trying to research and find the information I need to be successful in my first year. I have grown flowers before but not to sell. My goal is to sell 20 bouquets a week. I have worked really hard to keep my budget down so I can be profitable my first year. Cant wait for more videos on this topic!
This was very insightful! Thanks so much for the research you have done! I have a few questions. First, will all of these flowers be in bloom during the whole 14 week season? The celosia, rudbeckia and Cosmo that I have grown didn't all bloom until later in the season for me, but perhaps I planted mine later. If these are all in bloom the entire 14 weeks, then that would be great! Besides the sunflowers, do you suggest succession planting any of the other varieties you recommended? Also, you didn't mention any greenery, what would you suggest or do you find that to not be needed? Thanks!
You're so welcome! The celosia usually is the entire 14 weeks. Cosmos have a later start start by they should give me a nice 12 weeks. Rudbeckia tend to bloom early for me and then putter out at the end of the season, but I hear in other climates they go to the frost. I didn't mention greenery bc my customers dont really pick it on the farm. I however love goldenrod and the greenery on the ageratum is pretty too.
I know this will be a popular video ❤
I hope its helpful to everyone :)

Sounds like you are ready to sell! Try to get even just 5 sold per week! You can do it!

Can we have your notes list?
That's a lot of bad math.
