I love Zinnias, they make nice in home arraignment in a vase to enjoy, they last awhile on the kitchen table. Waving from VA 🙂
Good job Ms. Charlie...pure sunshine and sweetness
YOU are my flower mentor! Thanks for your help and encouragement. 🌸
Always a pleasure to visit with you Jill . the flowers are looking beautiful...
Good to see you are feeling better Jill.
Welcome back Jill miss your content ..Your flowers are beautiful ...my favorite to grow is zinnias they are so beautiful and last longer..thanks for sharing! Charlie is adorable ..mini You!!
I dream of having an area for cut flowers one day. Right now we are trying to build up our garden for food to be more sustainable so we are not to the point of having an area for cut flowers yet. Love seeing your flowers and advice!
Same here.
Sprinkle flowers amongst your veggies. They’ll draw in the pollinators and add beauty to your garden… it’s the best of both worlds.
Great advice Crystal
My thoughts exactly. Syntropic farming is incredibly productive.
I’m 22 days away from being able to focus 100% on growing my flower business. I’m planting daffodils today; snaps and stock are in the ground already. Sunflower and celosia seeds are currently stored in the freezer.
This video could not have been more timely.
My anxieties are about not knowing enough and making costly mistakes. Thank you for the gentle reminder that my heart being in the right place means more than immediate success. I’m grateful for the lessons I have yet to learn.
❤️
And how awesome that your little one is being mentored by her momma.

Thanks Jill for all tips on the flowers and Charlie your flowers are beautiful keep learning you are doing great 🌻🌼🌸🌺🌹🌷💐.
Love seeing all the flowers
Just grabbed my first tshirt and some other goodies. Thanks for the larger sizes! The designs are beautiful. 🌼
Thank you. This was so helpful.
😊 good to see you! 💜😎
You’ve inspired me to grow zinnias this year, and they are so beautiful! I hate the thought of cutting them, bc they look so pretty, but I did not know they would just go to seed if I don’t cut them, so tomorrow is the day. Thank you for all of your encouragement and great tips!
My favorite arrangement from my garden was the first one I picked this year. I had some beautiful dahlias that were pink with a darker edge, almost purple, and I arranged them with stalks from my Origano lavender plant and my purple basil. Stunning!
Great advice, thanks Jill! I just LOVE Charlies dress, its adorable on her!♥️
Great video!! You have a gift for speaking as well as growing. Keep up the good work, and help us all learn and grow!!
Thank you
Thank you for sharing. It’s great information. Savy

Thanks Jill for sharing! We finally got a little rain and Mike set up shade cover, check out the video. Zinnias look very nice. Blessings Rochelle
Charlie your flowers are so pretty! Way to go girl :)
Hi Jill. Can you give an update on the chickpeas you're growing? Thanks!
I love Zinnias. Started them from seed this year!! Hi from Central NY!!
Sitting here at 2:00 a.m. trying to figure out something to sell from home to make extra 💵💵.. thank you so much I live in Indiana..👍👍🙏🙏
You got this!
Enjoyed the video
Amazing tips Babe xx
Thanks friend ❤
hugs from pam and john hope doing filling butter good video keep it coming
Feeling much better, thanks
Hi! I’m also in central Arkansas, but quite a bit aways from you in Haskell. I’m curious if you know if you have to have any kind of permit to sell from a roadside stand? I’m having a hard time finding info!
Do you succession sow zinnias since they are cut and come again? I'm thinking no.
What variety of basil is she growing?
Sometimes I think my kids are way too needy and take too much of my time. How can you do all this with 3 kids. I do homeschool though so that's a big hit. I really need my kids to be understanding. Maybe a video of the kids talking about garden parents. 🤔
It's not easy with kids being home. We make sure they have plenty of crafts and activities to keep them busy while I work
I also have 3 kids (and am 7 months pregnant with our 4th) and homeschool. I grow a decent amount of our summer produce and lots of cut flowers, though I don’t sell anything- yet 😉. We have a big backyard, but fenced an area behind the house and that’s where I keep most of my annuals. The fence really helps contain the kids. Also turning on the sprinkler or setting out the baby pool, using outdoor toys (especially a bubble machine for my 2 year old). Another thing is breaking it down into smaller work periods, like a few minutes whenever you can get them in throughout the day. And I have had to learn to accept imperfections when working with kids. We’re a couple years in to more intensive home gardening and my kids mostly enjoy it. They have their own little garden plots and I make sure to include fruits and veggies they live in my area and to let them eat freely from them while they play. It’s far from perfect, but the satisfaction I get from seeing them run barefoot through the garden with a mouthful of kale is worth it. Good luck!
How large is your sunflower area? Im trying to get into the hang of rotation planting with sunflowers but im feeling like I’m running out of room.
Do you have a week gap between harvesting?
We start seeds every week. We are currently growing on a 20'x40' area spacing about 6" apart
I don’t understand when you talk about knowing the market. Who exactly buys cut flowers and for what reason? I would like to get more into this if possible.
Flower shops, restaurants, hotels, small grocery chains, doctors offices, and lots of businesses with waiting rooms etc all buy flowers. A quick Google search of your town will give you lots of potential customers
@@WhisperingWillowFarm thank you for your quick reply. This gives me a good starting point. 👍🏻
@@rock5138 hope you sell out weekly. I feel like once you get started and find one customer, word of mouth is always the best advertising
@@rock5138 also knowing your competition helps. Figure out what they are growing and you grow something different or a different variety.
@@WhisperingWillowFarm awesome advice, thank you!
been trying for 5 years no one wants flowers
All communities/markets are different. Sometimes you may have to seek outside your community
@@WhisperingWillowFarm ive been trying as far as outside of m state
Where are you located?
@@WhisperingWillowFarm PNW north of seattle
I encourage you to keep seeking. The Seattle area is booming with small business owners that love supporting other small businesses
I wish I had entrepreneurial skills. 🥲🥲🥲
