😂That story about the vegetable farmers' bouquets floating by you with the single gladiolus sticking up like it's giving you the 'middle finger' made me laugh so hard that I was in tears!!! 🤣😂🤣

Exactly!!

Sometimes you just need to be silly and laugh about things that can be frustrating!! Haha

@kariblough-smith2632 7 дней назад

Definitely!

Alex, you are a great interviewer. Love the chemistry between the two of you. ❤

Great video, very helpful. I am a first year flower farmer in Massachusetts- love to hear the positive and negative.

Gosh the market conversation about veggie farmers hits my soul so deep 😂 at my market the produce farmer is selling watermelons for $12 and a small head of cabbage for $8 (not organic) but was selling 12 stems of peonies for $10 😣 so. much. fun. 😂

@AllisonErdly-yb1et 7 дней назад

Bring tomatoes. That’s their highest grossing vegetable. 😆

Just as an fyi, for me in WI agrostemma has a vase life of about 7 days if you harvest when the first bloom on the cluster is open. It may have a shorter vase life in warmer climates? Not too sure! I’ve grown the white (ocean pearls) for the past 3 years and florists really do love them! The purple one “purple Queen” has 8-10 day vase life according to a North Carolina University study. It’s mentioned in the postharvest book published by the ascfg. That color would likely appeal to your customers, Alex, if you are looking for a new spring crop. 😉 Mine bloomed in the tunnel along with the end of ranunculus/beginning of peony season. I will be fall sowing outside the tunnel in early September.

So good to hear “in the experience” information. So much to learn, your perspectives help.

I love the name Sunshine and Stems, she should comment and you pin the comment to the top ❤ I love this topic. Looking great ❤❤❤❤

Love hearing your stories. Alex you look great. Talking about how you adapt to where you are, I can't imagine being out in the sun and heat as much as you are with the garden, let alone doing it when you are pregnant. We had frost last week (not normal). You both have such a great attitude and approach to growing flowers.

Thank you so much!

I picked my first Ranunculus five days ago.😂

Agrostemma. Never heard of that one. Looked it up, reminds me of alstroemeria (also called Peruvian lily) but it’s much simpler & doesn’t last as long. I should learn more & why florists like it so much & with such a short life cycle how it is worth it!

@paigeskinner5264 8 дней назад

This is my first trial year…I think I remember you guys talking about this in a video but I’m unsure…would you guys suggest a second year to even do spring flowers? I’ve spent so much this year I haven’t even paid for what I’ve spent yet lol

Make a lettuce bouquet or wreath. Add some radish as decoration. 😂

Agree, zones mean nothing. I can walk to my friends house and our growing conditions are completely different. I'm on clay, she's on sand. I am closer to sea level and have about three weeks on her for both first and last frost. The sunrise comes up over Quadra Island and hits us immediately and all day. She is surrounded by trees and gets far less sun.
