  • 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!

    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!

      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
