Welcome to Guiding Green Thumbs! We have created this channel to provide helpful how-to videos, our experiences and tips in flower gardening, vegetable gardening and gardening tools. This is a fun way to dive into organic perennial and edible kitchen gardening. We will share experiences planting and saving seeds in the vegetable and flower garden, managing pests organically, mulching, digging, dividing and learning about nature’s insects bees and butterflies! We'll even give you full garden tours of our shade and full sun gardens throughout the growing season. Easy key points, plant profiles, simple how-to tutorials and new garden plants that thrive (or die!) in our zone 5 garden is what we share. Join us for the excitement and joy of gardening!
Morning all. I was wondering what would happen if you used the front bucket to scrape up an inch or so of the path and remove some of the rock. Also, are your raised beds bottomless? Can't wait to come along on your new journey.
She is right to tell the kids to go because when I was a kid I was lingering around like that when my step father was mowing the lawn and a rock flew at my head and busted my head open
Please wear a mask when working with anything on the farm that is blowing dust, etc. Your lungs are taking in a lot of that, it can catch up with you later in life. And especially the kids. Blake seems to be a great kid and handsome. Emma looks so much like her pretty mom.
@GuidingGreenThumbs Ugh! I told my husband I'd leave that pile for stuff near there and order more for near the high tunnel. Save your backs! Your flowers are beautiful. I can't figure out what you're waiting for to be selling them. We have a small specialty cut flower farm in Ohio. Planning now for year 5. First year we put in the well, it was raw property. No buildings, nothing. We drove back and forth from our home to the farm. It was brutal, and we both were working full-time. Everything suffered for it, as hard as we worked. I feel your pain. Mid season year 3, our new home was finished being built on the farm property. We have had a small roadside stand to sell bouquets since year one. If you sell, even a few from the road - you're building your customer base. The whole, harvest, hydrate, and make arrangements is a whole extra time management learning curve. Even if it's only 5 or 10 bouquets - there is even more of a demand when you sell out.
I like these couple and their two kids. I unsubscribe because I had no idea hanging with lesbian you'll become a lesbian like you guys's dog. I don't support homophobia and racism it's 2024 people get with the program. I have gay family members in my family. I hang with them all the time, Guess what it didn't rub off. We all have children don't we one day will grow up and that's all I have to say.
I would suggest you sell what you have this fall and include a little flyer that says to look for more from you next year and your location info. Create some anticipation!
Morning Shelley, I just found a RU-vid channel named b.a.r.e. Flower Farm and her latest episode is called Dahlias Flower Farming Science Class. I found out quite a few helpful lessons like dahlias prefer the shorter cooler days to really perform, the blooms are fewer and smaller during high heat, and I think I heard mildew happens from a lack of water. I thought it was too much water. Give it a look if you have time. And now I'm looking at KA's for next year. Thanks a lot.😊
I gotta say the dahlias are beautiful and I’m kind of mad at you for making me look for dahlia tubers! 😤🤣 I’m guessing you didn’t get the hydrangeas planted along the fence? IMHO, I would place those fancy white rocks in kind of a design.. or twirly pattern in between the darker rocks. That might look kind of cool. & why aren’t we naming the farm GGT farm? Why change the name or give it a different name? Did the anniversary magnolia get planted? & what are all the things you guys have still in pots at the farm? Did you finish getting the home gardens weeded and mulched? Did the electric get hooked up or not yet? I’m just asking questions about the things I’m curious about. Shelly, your bouquets were beautiful and it’s always nice to see you smiling! 😊 Thanks for The video Bryan! I look forward to them every week. 😊♥️
ELECTRICITY!!! Loved the video this week and by the way, lots of commercials, not complaining, I’m just too cheap to pay the commercial free fee. Hopefully, you will soon be making some RU-vid cash! WayToGo! I love the lavender berm great way to use the rocks you dig out and I like the two colors you used the way they swirl around. And what can I say about the Dahlias except WOW! Thanks for making Sunday Afternoon so pleasant spending time on the farm with you and your family.
Shelley seems to love growing and educating. Marketing is a different thing. You might need to wholesale to florists if she doesn't get joy from selling. In business you have to have a product or service and a way to get it to market. It is rare when people can use both sides of their brains for that. She is a creative, right side of the brain person and the business part is more left brain.
