    Erik's banter is fun. It's a good reminder that all is not black and white.

      I like having him mic’d too! He has good thoughts :)

    I like that you are both mic'd up now. Each of you bring a unique perspective, both are valuable.

  • @EvelynM-vlogs
    @EvelynM-vlogs Před 2 měsíci +5

    The conversational aspect of the 2 mic videos makes the videos more natural.
    As an interior designer, I whole heartedly agree that colour theory is a non issue for market bouquets. Most homes aren't even decorated with colour theory in mind, they are decorated with what the home owner loves. Obviously event work is different.
    As far as the double paper, branding, etc. I completely agree that it is unnecessary cost and labour if you have a market stand. If you are at a farmer's market, or other outlet, create one and done signage only. If people want to take the info home with them, they will take a photo of it with their phone, these days business cards are somewhat obsolete and usually get tossed - in my opinion.
    I try to keep all my bouquets from 9 -11 stems.

    You are a very smart and talented business person! Thank you for sharing your strategies and efficiencies with us. I'm a 41 y/o home gardener that loves cut flower bouqs so I'm learning lots of tips on managing my time to keep up with my garden! Hello from western CO.

    This is my first year attempting to sell bouquets from my backyard at farmers markets in south central Kansas. One of these days I’ll find the time and ability to swing by your farm and finally buy some flowers from you. Your videos have helped me so much!

    I live in Western Kentucky ( Zone 7a now ) and I have Snaps that overwintered in the ground and in hanging baskets. I was shocked to see them alive. Mine do not grow anywhere near the size of yours though. Yours are just beautiful.

    I'm determined to find a way to add the term 'Razzle-Dazzle' into my daily vocabulary. ;) I might say 'Fluff' or 'Flair' and use those words in the same way, but Razzle-Dazzle has a certain something that my daily speech needs. Beautiful flowers! I always learn a lot from your videos. Good call with Erik having a mic for your conversations.

    I must've missed something along the way because I didn't realize you were pregnant. I've been going back and watching old videos, maybe that's why. Congratulations!!! Very exciting. You have a beautiful family and I think it's super sweet and cool to see you and Erik collaborating on this venture. You work very well together and complement one another. Keep up the great work. Warm greetings from California.

  • @greenbeefloralco
    @greenbeefloralco Před 2 měsíci +2

    Chantlily snapdragons tend to be more spindly than Potomac or Costa series snaps in my experience. I don't think that's necessarily a tunnel vs outdoor issue. Your tunnel snap height is what we would get as a florist from wholesale growers.

    @davidthedeaf Před 2 měsíci

    I would love to grow in a planter some snapdragon and others to cut to take to my grandparents and mom’s graves. I feel badly that my late gramma and grandpa would drive a long ways to clean off graves of family they never met, from the Civl War era, and took buckets of flowers on Memorial Day. I live in an apartment but want to do to them as they did for others. I put a mini pink hydrangea into a large patio planter this spring. I hope to have a few flowers for them.

    I really am so grateful I stumbled across your channel and FB group so early on in my journey. I learn SO MUCH from you two!
    Question: Because I know everything you do is well thought out and with profitablitly and effeciency in mind - What made you decide to use the staple instead of tape? I only thought of this question because I just watched a wrapping video by Bloom & Gray as recommended in your FB group by someone and she uses tape. Maybe it's just preference but I'd love to know the answer!
    Thanks for another great video!!

    • @CoramDeoFarm
      @CoramDeoFarm  Před 2 měsíci

      I think the stapler is faster and more secure. Bloom makes beautiful bouquets but i don’t think they’re that reasonable

  • @katrienvh4289
    @katrienvh4289 Před 2 měsíci +1

    If you have a business license, have you compared the prices from wholesalers ? (craft, florist supplies, paper/printer wholesaler? ) I have a printer shop, so I can see that there is a big price difference if you buy wholesale, perhaps you'll have to buy a bit more, but paper stays good for ever if it doesn't get wet, it can save you up to 50 %

      You’re welcome to buy international flowers grown by slave labor and covered in cancer pesticides rather than pay what quality American grown flowers are worth. Our customers happily enjoy the latter.

  • @person3952
    @person3952 Před 2 měsíci +2

    I always get food for thought for my flower-unrelated artistry from your videos. Beautiful flowers. To me extra fluff or filler flowers is taking away from the value of the flowers. So decreasing the perceived value. Plus the fluff is just extra unnescessary stuff to fill the bin with. Glory to the actual flowers.
    And camera man's thoughts are interesting too. 🍿🪨
