  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?🌻🌹
