Video

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! I did an updated video on year 2 yarrow of my summer berries (czcams.com/video/4Ko-AzNodd8/video.html). I think the division actually helped bc all of the colors stayed true!

@@bareflowerfarm Both Paprika and Terra Cotta came back great, but are a bit oversized for my flower bed. I moved some of the Terra Cotta, which was giant. I might move the summer berries, too, but I'm not sure it'll ever come back anything but white

Aww thank you for this. I am always appreciative when others are open to different perspectives. Appreciate you watching and your support :)

Thank you for this feedback! It's great to hear different perspectives on this and I will take this into consideration. I'm not sure if you're aware, but I've taken some of my longest videos (interviews & youtube lives) where there is a ton of information and turned them into podcast format. This would also allow you to listen to them in the car or while you're multitasking. The podcast is called "Blooming Profits" and you can find it on whatever podcast app you use! I did this because I recognized that it's alot to ask someone to sit in front of their TV or have their phone on for over an hour, especially as this content can be consumed easily without the videos!

@@bareflowerfarmNo, I was not aware you had made podcasts. It is one of the reasons I haven’t watched many of your interviews, just too long. I’ll check them out at my next opportunity. Thanks!

She is, isn't she?? 😊

Ah interesting. Is there a reason why you dont want to grow tall flowers? Is this more for landscaping purposes?

@@bareflowerfarm great question! They are grown in containers on a balcony. Any taller and they would fall several floors to the ground or meet a similar fate from the wind. That same challenge also has positives though. The increased breeziness actually prevents powdery mildew from setting in.

And what was the conclusion? I’ve never thought of doing that!

@@janpapworth7956 if I remember right broccoli did the best. I would have to pull out the book to be sure.

I'm not sure if you've seen bare mountain's content on CZcams! Specifically, they soak their ranunculus corms in a high quality compost tea and they've said it makes a world of difference in how healthy the plant is. I'm going to try to save seed next year and see if this hypothesis plays out. I would need at least a hundred of a single variety to see if it works! Not sure if your farm book said this- seed soaking, especially in higher temps is a method used to help mitigate disease and viruses too! There's alot to unravel here, but so little information freely shared, especially on cut flower seeds!

@@bareflowerfarm no I have not seen that going to check it out. Thanks.

@@bareflowerfarm can't find them under that name for a channel.

10 stems usually, and that's the case for sea holly too

Haha, I honestly have no desire to expand it big. This small size is already so much work!

I've got a few things in the works. New seedlings in the ground are marigold, zinnias, snapdragons, and stock quartet (experiment) and mums (also an experiment). Things that are starting to flower and will continue to in the fall are dahlias, scabiosa, ageratum, cosmos and hopefully some aster. I also continue to succession plant lilies and callas. Now that I'm typing it out, it's quite a bit!

Sometimes the bulbs come out with the stems but many times they break off. I actually typically treat my lilies as annuals because I grow so many of them. I think you can take them out and replant. This is assuming you kept some leaves on and allowed the bulb to regenerate.

I don't yet! Specifically bc I'm still trying to figure out how to get longer stems, but I will once i figure it out!

These were gifted to me! The brand is Dovetail and I absolutely love them. Pricey but great quality!

Thank you!

Aww yay! I hope you like it too!

Thanks! This is actually cheap irrigation piping. It comes in a long roll of 100ft for around $35. You can then easily cut it with a knife It's been out for 2 winters and onto its second summer. I'm surprised at how well it's kept up. Would not recommend for winter if you're in a climate that gets snow, but more than good for shade and frost cloth!

Thank you!☺

So many ways to make pathways, this happens to have worked for us! I chose scoop scabiosa bc they're supposed to be crazy productive and produce bigger heads. Not sure I'm seeing bigger heads necessarily but the stems are definitely sturdier which is nice. I don think these will perennialize but Fama will!

Aww thank you, I was pretty proud of the end result of this video! And yay!! I'm glad you'll be able to use a floral toolbelt. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine!

Thanks for recognizing this Melissa! I am enjoying it and it's definitely leveling up my editing experience!

Thanks for this feedback! I always appreciate constructive feedback and will take it into consideration ☺

@@bareflowerfarm I’m binging your channel. It’s fantastic. Thank you!

Yes! Someone else said the same thing. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Do you know if there's a terminology to prune back for fall blooms?

Not that I’m aware of. I think the weather plays a role in getting a second flush or not, but you have reminded me to give it another go!

I'm sure it's awesome like all of her other products! :)

I'm so glad to hear that! I think I'll turn monthly "farm tour" videos into this type of style going forward!

Glad it was helpful!

Lol Eric is a chef by training! He better be a pro 😅

@@bareflowerfarm LOL. I didn't know that!

I got these from Farmer Baileys and they actually come in half trays of 50! i was going to double next year but I think I will stick to just 2 trays and try to keep all of them alive. I'm getting overwhelmed with just 30 plugs lol!!

how do you spell the tulip type flower?

I'm going to try!!

@bareflowerfarm ok, even a post would be great. I've thought about that, but wasn't sure about vases vs. Not in water, delivering to the pantry,etc.. and I'm sweating in PA as well! I just can't get over this heat, this early!

Yup! They've been full time for a few years

Thanks!

Aww I'm so sorry to hear about your wrist. It definitely is a bit of a setback but every little bit of work ads up! There's a Chinese proverb around "accumulate little, multiplies to alot" and I really do believe it. I'll also admit that when you DO get stretches of hours (like I did yesterday) of course you will get more done at once but that is such a luxury these days! I hope your wrist heals quickly!

Hi Linda! I know you're super busy and have a demanding job. I think someone with your acumen likely understands the importance of saying "no" to say "yes" to the things that matter. You can likely do pretty well laser focusing on what and where you sell! I'm happy to talk to you about it if you ever want to bounce ideas off of someone. Regarding the pathways, a layer of cardboard was put down in year 1. It's not enough. You have to do it at least 2 more times and pile on the woodchips. It's an ongoing effort and I'll say that this is the FIRST year I'm seeing progress where the effort may be worth it. I prioritized one part of the field that has aggressive dock that spreads by rhizomes by ripping it out and cardboarding and chipping it earlier in April. That made a world of difference. All this to say, living pathways are work. Ask me next year how I feel lol!

@@bareflowerfarmyou’re too kind! I’m glad to see that the patreon group is meeting this Thursday as I was working during the first meeting, so I’m hoping to be able to make that!
