    I just received my order of 1300 glad bulbs from LM Bolle and Son, and I'm extra excited about them being in a #3 size, which is smaller then I've ever grown before. Here on the farm, we grow gladiolus in a little bit of a different way - by stagger planting them in crates throughout the season. Check out all the exciting new varieties im trying this year!

    Ian and Serina of YOU CANT EAT THE GRASS feel that every small change can make a big difference to the world we live in. Every garden planted leads to a better future. We hope to inspire and motivate others to make positive changes in their lives by sharing our journey towards greater sustainability as we build our family farm. It's hard work to build a life worth living, and completely worth it!

    Folks, I’m just speculating here, but youtube burnout is very common and almost inevitable among youtubers. If Serena and Ian need to take a step back for a while and focus more on their farm and family, we should support this and respect their privacy. Taking a break is a good and healthy thing.

      Yes, this. The pressure on here seems immense..I know people have good intentions but it comes across as not being very understanding of real life.

      Yes, taking time off for family and to reset is important, but just let us know, we'll support you! That would be better then viewers unsubscribing when the content they came for doesn't appear.

      nobody's has asked but I'll type what I think. The plan was to reach business sustainability within five years or quit. If they didn't quite reach the business goals, mayhaps they're winding the business venture down. Can't be emotionally easy in any case

    I'm a city gardener with a small backyard/indoor set up. I planted 50 glads, mostly in containers, at the very end of spring. They all started popping up and the next thing I knew I was ordering more. I had totally forgot about that because I spent a week volunteering as a camp counselor. Imagine how I felt when I came home exhausted from camp to 125 "surprise" glad bulbs! I've been slowly putting them into the ground and I'm excited for what's to come.

I mean,.. not here to pressure but just wanted to say hope you’re doing ok. We’re all invested in you guys as people as much as the farm. So strange there’s no ‘hey, we’re so busy, we’re changing what we do on the channel’ explainer

    At least this year the fire hazard isn't as high. How did your neighbour do with the cherries. From news here on the coast they're reporting huge damage from that really cold snap. Wineries are scrambling, some fruit farmers are cutting down a lot of their orchards and planting vegetables.
    I hope your growing season hasn't been as chaotic as other areas, especially across the border.
    Using the greenhouses may just keep the farm in better financial shape.
    I'm just happy to see you still going strong.
    Maybe start looking at alternatives for the flowers, shorter growing time, earlier planting. Things are never going to be the same. This is the last year we'll see relatively "normal" temperatures.
    Hang in there.🇨🇦🌞🌝

    What I love about glads is that when u plant one there will be 2 sometimes 3 in its place when u dig it up so by digging them up you double your corms saving even more money, I'm buying 1800 of them this year and going to keep multiplying them each year even planting the cormals to grow bigger and sell the corms each year locally 😊
