Thank you for this great video!!! It helped me a lot! And I love your patches without landscape fabric! They look so much better than the plastic horror you can see everywhere else! I always mulch with straw, that also helps me against weed pressure. But its difficult, when you live in an area with lots of slugs, like I do. 😅 My best prevention ever: I put my chickens in the flower patches when flowers are over and let them get "everyone" out of the ground during autumn, winter and spring. Everything still growing there I have to cover with some cloth, otherwise it wouldn't survive. Afterwards you have a complete weed- and slugfree soil, with additional chicken manure that comes "for free" ;)) Gorgeous bouquets (as always), by the way!! ❤
cherry tomatoes are good in soup, put them through the blender, remove the skins and freeze. Red ones are good for dogs so add some to your dogs diet, just make sure there are no green tomatoes in the ones that get fed to your dog. Solanine and tomatine are in the green ones but have gone once the tomato is red.
So…. I hate soup of all kinds hahaha. But the amount of effort to make sauce with cherry tomatoes isn’t worth it given we grow a lot of bigger ones. We used to marinate the cherry tomatoes in an olive oil vinegrette to put on toast. It’s delicious but we may have had one too many 🤣. There’s a lot of ways to use cherry tomatoes, it’s just that I have so many other tomatoes growing that the cherry ones get bumped down on the priority list!
@@bareflowerfarm we don't make sauce, or can. Fresh frozen and used as such. Blenderizing the cherry tomatoes is just a fast way to remove the skins - according to Bruce, not my department. You don't like soup!?! Say Whaaaaaaaaaaat. At this season of my life I basically know how many tomatoes, etc. we go through in a year and how many each plant produces, so it's easy not to be overwhelmed with too much abundance. At your age, overwhelmed I was. Too much abundance = too much work starting, planting, harvesting, storing, etc. All my volunteer cherry tomatoes got pulled and buried. Best use of them was to immediately feed the soil.
I love those roselilies !!! Do you have any tips on how to keep flowers fresh on a stand ( or in a car ) when it is so hot outside . Do you know if iced water could help or damage the flowers
Ice water on a very hot day is fine but they typically will do well in just normal water! They are super hardy. I gave a bunch to my cousin who visited on route to a wedding. They sat in a very hot car without water. They perked up the next day!
I have a market event in 3 weeks. This is my first time making bouquets to sell. How often should I be deadheading my dahlias and zinnias to prepare for new blooms for this event? Thank you so much for your videos!
I would recommend buying from A-roo. The issue is usually shipping which makes the sleeves more expensive than they need to be. I showed the diff sized sleeves in this market video which should answer your question! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-peWfuXuAwJM.htmlsi=vq5R476DoqqtjmZ-
Thanks for giving us a Jake alternative. I got kicked out of his group for not paying an invoice but to be fair I checked my email for over two months waiting for said invoice. I really felt like a failure but after seeing comments in another flowers group I see that there is a whole group of customers he's lost. I've never worked so hard to pay for something 😂. Good riddance to him. I'll be happy to give someone else my money
Lol!! It's too much chaos for me because I'm already not organized so I like to have things more systemized on the seller's end. Hopefully this new group works out for you!!
Lol, I used to have a QR code on everything but nobody used it! If I was selling to people under 24 yrs, I would use it but I sell a lot to folks in their older years who won’t use QR codes unfortunately
