Hi I can’t see the link to your secateurs? 😊
Sorry! The link is now in the video description :)
Thanks will order tomorrow they are a bargain …
I'm just cutting flowers for me and my post office, the PO is 2 doors down and I've been told the customers really enjoy them. All your research being shared is greatly appreciated, by me, I'm sure plenty of other everyday gardeners as well.
what a sweet idea!
@@LongislandnativeSanctuary Thank you. My post lady makes me write what I'm sharing, said people ask her and she doesn't have a clue.
Are you selling them in the post office?
@@aileenjordan8151 No, just take those to be nice.
Bunga"yang indah sekali👍👍👍
Loving the idea of vinegar... great video.. 😊
Fantastic. I love your knowledge you kindly share - just a back yard flower gardener with my ‘Puddleduck Posies’ but aiming for a flower farm one day! Thank you again 🙏🏻
I love your Videos and your blooms are fantastic. Your presentation of your buckets of flowers are so well chosen. I think it’s incredible how you put them together. I saw your Pig wandering around which was so cute. You work so hard and make good use of your day. Where you live looks beautiful. My only criticism is that you say ‘em’ far too much. You don’t need it. I think your great and will buy you a Coffee very soon.
Very informative! I knew all of the tricks to extend vase life but never knew the science behind it. Thank you for putting this together!
Thank you again Sarah for providing such detailed and useful content for all!!!✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼❤
Hi, I have been learning to grow cut flowers this year, I always find your videos so helpful. Thank you
What a great video - I really appreciate your overview of the science behind what we do to keep our flowers living longer! Thank you
Thank you Sarah!! can you please do a video on Rudbeckia Sahara? Id love to know everything about it, from when to sow in a colder zone, to how to harvest and conditioning, in arrangements, etc. everything please, love your work, keep it up
Thank you for sharing so generously of what you've learnt. I found the information so helpful! Love the plant food options you mention. I'm in summery South Africa and despite how hot it is at the moment, I'm going to find a cool spot in the garage overnight to put my cut flowers and hope they last a bit longer.
Good advice Sarah, I am thinking of turning to growing mainly flowers next year in place of Veg, so all your shared wisdom is greatly received, thank you.💐
Thanks, very useful 😊
Growing morning glories forgetmenots, hydrangeas and smoke bushes in containers for first year in plant propagation sales before I get a greenhouse elsewhere with a parking lot
Thank you
i love your free download too, thank you
I appreciate your breakdown on these aspects of snipping the blooms & showing how well your flowers do without a cooler of some sort, an insulated building is working well and I see that as far more applicable for most. New subscriber, I am grateful for your efforts to educate and inspire!
Much appreciation! Great info
Great information!
Excellent content. Especially the info on conditioning. I had also always believed that all flowers should be refrigerated. Thanks for the correction! You are always full of great information and help!! 😂
Thank you !!!!!!
Awesome, thank you for the helpful tips!
Thank you for doing this video
Thak you so much, brilliant and informative video. Hoping to do a few gate sales this year and you have been very helpful.
Great content. Thanks so much!!
Thanks for the great information
Great info - really appreciate it
Excellent info thank you! 💕
Awesome video, appreciate it! 😊
Thanks Sarah, really helpful x
Thanks for sharing 💞
Excellent video Thankyou.
Thank you so much for this information. It is incredibly helpful. When to harvest is probably the most intimidating part of flower farming, because it can make such a difference. I feel a little less intimidated now. :) I also appreciate the vinegar/lemon juice and sugar tip, as I also am hesitant about the additives in conventional products. Thank you for making these kinds of videos to demystify the process for us newbies to flower farming.
great content! thank you
Thank you Sarah. That was very informative! 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃
Thank you for a very informative video. Well done!
Helpful info, just the right level of detail for my purposes
Very helpful video with lots of useful and interesting advice 👌. Thank you.
i love the book recommendation on your blog post, would love to see more book recommendations, thank you
Great info and I shared it with a friend Oklahoma, USA
This maybe a sky question but when you say vinegar, what vinegar do you use. White Vinegar, Malt Vinegar, Apple cider vinegar. What would be best?
don't know where I've been, but didn't realize you have a blog as well. Thanks for that,, great info!
It’s new, you haven’t been missing out!
Lots of interesting info, thank you! On using as an additive to feed the flowers, do you just pop sugar into the cool water when you change it? Does it need to dissolve in any way? Any idea on how much to add? I've a million question as I'd never heard of sugar as plant food - makes sense though.
Nice thumbnail picture
Thanks! Are there special needs voor ammi or dara? In my bouquets they drop their little flowers from day one, making a mess under the vase.
Hello, at 2:44 what is that pink/purple spike flower your cutting ? Thanks !
Greetings from Australia! 🌴This is such an informative video, and is so far the best video I have seen explaining harvesting and conditioning. Thank you so much. Does putting an aspirin, or half a one, increase vase life? Does it act as a PH reducer or would you still need to add vinegar?🌻🌹
How much vinegar to water ratio?
How much vinegar do you put in your water? Do your customers need to add it when they recut stems? 💕
