The BEST Fall Cutflowers | Sept Farm Tour
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- Here on our cut flower farm we have a 25 week long season that spans spring, summer, and fall. The only way that is possible is if we plan for each of those seasons separately, with different flower varieties for different times of year. Join Serina on the September farm tour to get all the details of our favorite fall varieties, and how we push our cut flowers past our first frost date.

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!

Seriously, this is your best video yet! I love the flowers, the shots timed with the lovely music, and I love your outfit. You could seriously do a garden gear and outfit episode. Please tell me where you got your pink coveralls! Garden envy all around, congratulations on a beautiful garden. 😊
Love Serina in pink! Always a pleasure.
I had to stop and rewind when Serena was talking about carnations, to watch a jumping Bo photo-bomb. 😂
I can't tell you enough how much every video notification I see from you instantly lightens my mood. I can always count on your videos (especially your farm tours!) to be the perfect hobby companion and gardening and color inspiration. Everything looks beautiful, like always. Love from the Philippines. ❤
Your killing the pink pantsuit girl. One of your best videos.
LMBO! You can't eat the grass just said you can't grow enough grass. 🤣😂🤣
Exactly what i was gonna type 😂😂
That jumpsuit!! 🥰 This is all so lovely!
What makes your videos a number 1 hit is the fact that I'm always sad when they end🙂an I'm ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE VIDEO 👏👏
The flowers all look amazing and I wish I lived closer to you because for sure I will buy an arrangement every week
Love the pink jumpsuit Serina!
16:24 top left corner made me truly laugh out loud! 😂
Amazing video guys! Love it all!
I loved that when editing, lol, he was full of crazies while we filmed
Wow! What a great job on the video. I love how you coordinated the music with each different flower shot❣️👍🏻👍🏻
I used to think Marigolds were so boring, but every single year I love them more. They also make a really interesting tea!
Have you considered drying some of your flower "fails" to use them in flower tea? 💐 Any edible flowers can be used for tea mixes!
Great video, Serina. Really enjoyed it. Flowers and grasses look great. Hoping you have a very late frost. 😊💖🦋🕊
Sweet! I love your video editing skills, Ian!
The flowers are vibrant, Serena.
Plant fern on North side of house or outbuildings.
We only have a tiny spot of shade, but its in a bad spot for growing. Full sun, all sun problems, lol
I grew rudbeckia this year based on viewing your channel. Happy with my first try. I have a home vegetable garden to which I’ve added flowers all about to attract the pollinators. The rudbeckia are beautiful and make a nice center flower for the little bouquets I cut for the house. Love your channel.
From one Canadian flower farmer to another- great video! So informative. - New Brunswick
Thanks
I pray for you to have an extended season of flowers. God bless y'all 😊
Looking at all those marigolds made me very happy. I grow marigolds in my garden. The smell on them is so nice too. You should plant Russian sage and solidago fireworks. These perennials will take you into fall and go nice with your sedums. I have all of these in my garden right now blooming. Very pretty
Your videos are always so grate! They are so very nicely made. It is like a mini documentary and still feels more personal. Great visuals and highly entertaining and informative.
This was so great! So informative, inspiring, and beautiful. The opening montage was lovely and the music was perfect. And your jumpsuit!!!!
The Cardoon leaf reveal was, “Wow. Alright!”
So interesting and pleasurable to learn your farm in this format. Great Job as always!!!!
Love the garden and pink jumpsuit! Charlie's Angel's inspired? 👚🛍👡❣
Lol, thanks
Loved this video. Lots of good info.
So happy this year has been a boom year for you both! 💗🙏🏻💐 Love ya’s! So glad things are going awesome 😎
that jumper was made for you! 👍🌻
lovely video, as always, rudbeckia is going crazy still in my garden ❤️
This is super helpful... Thank you! Where did you get that adorable jumpsuit? I love it! My zinnias are doing amazing right now and blooming their heads off here in northern Virginia 👍
Enjoyed this very much. Thank you and sending you all love!!!!!
Fall gardening here!
Wonderful fall flower tour! You are so pretty in pink Serina!
So stunningly beautiful!!! Great video! And I absolutely love your pink overalls!!!!! 💓💓💓💓💓💓
Excellent video! So informative! I truly appreciate your honesty showing what worked and what failed. It makes me not feel so bad about my flower fails! Lol
Keep these coming!
I kill thousands of plants every year. Killing plants is how you learn
The music was perfect for this video- whoever is picking out the music is doing a fantastic job!
I received a free seed pack of Xanthos cosmos from Baker Creek and I loved its lemon chiffon yellow
I love cosmos so much I’m surprised to hear your thoughts! I even have a tattoo of one!
Y’all bring so much joy to your viewers! I’m learning so much from you. Thank you!
There is a rubeckia called cappuccino.
It has wonderful mocha. Shades.
Great flower suggestions! I put some orders in already!
Thanks so much for the tour. Loved it!
Thank you. I learned so much from this video, especially about having greenery in bouquets. Your arrangements are stunning.
Your flawers looks so beautiful every single one, I love zinnias u have awesome color's, thank you for awesome video and thank you for sharing with us I hope you sell a lot more flowers, all the best and take care.
I wish you would write a book with all your beautiful pictures. And wear your pink coveralls. It would be my favorite book
I love that you guys snuck in those beautiful tomato pics 😂
Tomatoes will always be my favorite thing to grow
! just love you guys! love your outfit! love your zinnias!
I grew Apricotta and Lemonade Cosmos...Apricotta have had amazing colour variations. Esp with the changing light and temps. Stunning mix of pinky orangey peach. Lemonade has varied from almost white to pale yellow, with a brighter yellow ring inside. Very pretty!
I want to try some of those next year
@@YouCantEatTheGrass I ordered Apricotta from William Dam. I found they weren't as bushy as some of the other cosmos I have had but could be "user error" lol. Experimenting with putting in my small garden in full sun vs part shade...both seemed to do well. It is by far my absolutely fave flower of the year.
Great video! So informative and fun. Thank you so much!
Loved this video showing all the flowers in the field it inspires me to try different varieties in my little garden. I like to grow flowers and fillers in my raised beds so they look like large bouquets. The pink jump suit looked so good with the flowers nice choice
Saved this one to remind me of all your success. Awesome video.Love it👍
I love LOVE your pink jumpsuit ❤❤
I bought those same carnations from Johnny's and had the same experience in Virginia. They were small and fragile. Yours actually look more substantial than mine. They are pretty, but kind of fragile and floppy.
They have gotten longer since the blooms have been finishing up (not helpful). I grew them pretty poorly, so I'm willing to give it another go
@@YouCantEatTheGrass Let us know next year if you figure out the secret to growing strong carnations!
so much flowers 🌺🌹 😍😍😍
💗
Awesome video.
Love the video! And wow, amazing music!
💗
The flowers are just glorious. So jealous.
💗
Super cute jumpsuit
This was just a joy to watch. As a home garden grower the information was just as helpful. Thank you from New Zealand!
You should also try cardinal basil.
Very robust, bigger leaves, and wonderful flower bracts this time of year that dry well too.
Awesome video!!! You work so hard at planning and growing, that I wonder if you even know how much knowledge you've accumulated and how very well you present it in your videos. Just stellar!! I enjoy every single video, all the way through. Each time, I try to pick a favorite flower, but it's almost impossible. Yellow appeals to me in a big favorite kind of way, and I think this time my award goes to those big yellow marigolds. For impressiveness, I'd give it to the aptly named Zowie zinnias, because wowie zowie, those are striking colors! I hold sunflowers out as a category all their own. From the smallest to the largest, I love them all. Your videos never fail to make my day better and brighter. Thanks for that! Good health and happiness to you guys, always. Hugs and kissies for the kitties!
I'm with you. I LOVED coco gold this year. Basil is still my main filler, but I'm hoping yo expand my options in 2023. We shall see.
Also... I always wondered why my red spike got sooo huge! Plant a lot in one tiny space.. noted! Thanks for all the information. 😁
Where did you purchase your coco gold marigolds
@@gardingyrl3501 GEO seed. 🙂
I got mine from Johnny's.
Everyone thinks I'm crazy when I do the heavy planting of amaranth, but it really is a good trick. Unless you want some massive heads. I think it comes down to space and volume sometimes though. The mass planting trick works great to get a lot of amaranth, but maybe 1 big plant would be good in a home garden or micro farm
I’m suprised that you guys are a zone 5, considering you are further south than me (I’m in Salmon Arm). I am a zone 6. All your flowers are so beautiful! I think you have some magic in your bouquet making skills Serena, very unique and inspiring!
We reference our zone in the US hardiness scale since the bulk of our audience is American
Enjoyed the video. Interesting take on cinnamon basil.I’ve grown it and used it but did not realize it’s use for cut flower farmers.
Totally cool tour as usual and that song was beautiful 👌.
Thanks for sharing!
EXcellent video, content, info. Bravo and congrats at having a great year in all your endeavors! You look fabulous in Pink. Love and Blessings to all of you!
Great video! I am going to try the Coco series of the marigolds. Thank you
omg at 21:02 I thought I saw a huge spider when looking at the double daisy rubeckia! (on the pink outfit background) haha.
I had to find a video with comments to help you out with your fabric hole burner. About 1 inch from the end, drill about 4... 1/2Inc holes, it doesnt hinder the flame, but it will keep your torch burning.
Thank you..I loved seeing all the flowers 🤩🌼
💗
Wonderful crops still there, good farming.
Fantastic video
Yey! Always excited seeing that you got new video!
Everything is so beautiful. Thank you
This was a fabulous review of all those beautiful flowers. Umm, where did you buy those overalls? I need that outfit please.
Love these types of videos! Learning about the flowers is my biggest interest and videos like this really captivate me. I love seeing them, up close. You are an excellent teacher Serina. Without help, all you get to see is the mess you make when you try and grow them without any help lol 🇨🇦Penny4a
My place is a big mess this year too, lol. Send help! Lol. For both of us, right?
@@YouCantEatTheGrass yep I screwed up my sunflowers as well. If a big volunteer hadn't appeared with mega-useable side shoots I'd have been screwed lol. Whoops! They finally did come though!
Thank you!! I’ve been spacing my amaranth too much. I’m going to start growing them close like you guys :). I always learn so much here!
Useful guys thanks!
Great video! Hope to see more like this next year - an early season episode and mid-season one will round out the mix.
Actually they do this. They made a May and a July tour.
@@anniinglucksdorf960 You are absolutely correct. I went back and rewatched some of these videos. In my opinion, what set the September one apart was the specific variety name on the screen.
such a great video!
I love your videos. They are so educational for someone that wanted to start a cut flower farm.
I love this video!!! It is so informative and upbeat; I’m ready to place my seed order based on your information. 😃 I agree that Benary’s Giant is the best!
I absolutely love the flowers.
Rubenza is bomb! So happy to see your family farm and business doing so well! Your hard work shows!!
Thanks Serena, I love looking at your amazing crops and it's so nice to listen to you talk about the insights that you gain. You and Ian have inspired me to try many small flower projects here in Manitoba. Thanks again :)
Hey Serena, during your downtime period during the winter could you please do a video that lists all the best flowers for drying?? That would be really helpful. If you already have a video regarding just that, then please link it in a future video.
I've been through your various videos on your channel but didn't see any just pertaining to best flowers to dry. But definitely could have missed it. Thanks
If u have time for one of their live videos, they did one a few weeks ago arranging dried flowers 😊
Oh wait in their channel there's a playlist dedicated to dried flowers! Hahaha she has a top20 video there, filmed just 9 mos ago, so must still be quite updated :)
@@tiffy3260 I went through their Playlists, and felt I had to be missing it. Is it dedicated to just the best flowers to grow for drying?
@@risalangdon9883 czcams.com/video/nPg3quSAUAQ/video.html
Not sure if this works haha
Great Video! I enjoyed seeing the walk thru of your flower garden, and the happiness you showed while explaining about all your flowers really is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your time to make this video for us all!
💗
I love your guys videos.
I love Bo cutting laps for pats 😂
He's a snuggle bum
I get excited to see your beautiful flowers 💐
The place is very beautiful
Love this! Your inspiring me to plant more flowers this season and next. Smiles, from a fellow Canadian
Jerusalem artichoke is a wild edible, too! Your gardens are lovely 🥰
Loved the tour and all the insights into why you grow certain flowers. Absolutely love your channel. Quick question, what is the song at the beginning of the video? Can’t get it out of my head.
Excellent tips there. They've gone on my list!
This video made my day!!!! 🤩☀️🌻
💗
Always amazing 🤩 thank you for amazing video 🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗💐💐💐
💗
I enjoyed the tour! I can’t pick a favorite, I love them all lol. So nice that you can switch gears and go into dried flower like that. I bet smaller versions of your dried flower Christmas tree would sell like crazy. And maybe you could figure something out something that you could grow in the greenhouses that would stretch your seasons for fresh cuts.
Cute outfit!
