My First Market of the Year | How Did it Go?

I'm finally getting ready for my first market of the year. In this video, I'll show you what a typical week looks like as I prepare for market. I'll also share how much money I made.

This year definitely hasn't been ideal. I'm making more money off of my pressed flower items than I am from fresh flowers. Pressing the flowers is more work but I can make frames and bookmarks over the winter to have a decent inventory for next year. I can also try selling them online. Thus isn't what I expected my flower farm experience to be but you have to go with the flow I guess. Good luck with the rest of your season!

I’m hearing a lot of people saying they are having success with flower crafts. Good luck to you too!

Thanks for showing how to cut your dahlias - and I am dealing with bug damage too! I bought net bags to put over some so we'll see how that goes.

This year has been the worst for me.

Those dahlia are pretty ❤ what do you amend your soil with?

I buy bulk compost. I try to fertilize with an all purpose fertilizer but I’m honestly terrible at remembering to do it.
