How To Make Your Own DIY Cooler to Save More Flowers!
DIY build ! I reconstructed an old refrigerator into a "new" cooler for my flowers. Did you know that most wholesalers account for 30% loss in their coolers? That is alot of money right out the door. From little room for flowers to a Stand up cooler. We done it! Now to sell more blooms!

The Surprising TRUTH About How Wholesalers WIN VS. Local Flower Farmers Everytime..

Temporary Devastation Doesn’t Lead To Permanent Defeat : The Flower Guy

temporary devastation doesn’t lead permanent disaster. We are learning to work through the kinks even though we are taking a huge loss this year. Last year to this year has been two different animals. If we had not had experience in growing flowers we would have been out of the business. QUICK.

My First BEE HIVES On The Flower Farm
มุมมอง 8032 ปีที่แล้ว
I never knew how much nervousness honey bees could cause to a person! I have been trying to be very calm with them. It seems to me like the prep work is the most amount of work that one will put in, am I right? A more experienced beekeeper could tell me! Hopefully they bring a ton of honey from the wildflowers. I got the seeds from HOSS seeds. They have some amazing quality seeds. We have had s...

You’re doing such a great job for your precious family. I love watching your videos and am learning so much from you about flower farming. Keep working hard for your family because the dividends are priceless. ❤
Praise the Lord for God is good !
Dont worry bout your set up we come for the knowledge...your obviously a bright, hardworking young man. Thank you for sharing.
I admire you. I just have a small garden and it's work to plant. But it's fun
Where are you now a days? Not uploaded anything lately ? Miss your videos and beautiful flowers
If you want to dramatically increase your strike rate, make sure those those world's-dullest-pruners get razor sharp, or use an actual sterile razor. No excuse for sloppy, frustrating, tearing cuts that increase cutting losses. Take pride in your tools young man, and keep up the good work!
What state are you in? I think you could get more than $1/stem.
You are amazing and I love your *why* - your family and the lifestyle you want to have with them
Did it work?!
Hello 👋 Thanks for your videos! I hope you and ypur family are well. Are you still flower farming? Hope to you do an update video soon All the best to you all
Thanks man. I have my Dahlia under some weak grow lights (150 watt). My tropicals grow fine so I thought.. My beautiful Dahlia would. :( She's very leggy... lol Its possible under 1000 watt lights...thanks man. Bless.
Where can you find tubers for only $2?
Thank you so much! You are an excellent Dahlia teacher!
I'm so impressed with your love of family, work ethic, and dedication to keeping the most precious things in this world provided for. ❤ God bless you and your family. I hope you continue to prosper.
Good video!
Where did the aphids come from? I’m growing mine inside and yesterday I found my cafe au lait’s were crawling with ?fungus gnats? &/or spider mites! I’m so frustrated. Where did they come from?? I’ve sprayed them with insecticide soap and I propped my rechargeable bug zapper and it has been zapping every 20-30 minutes so there are flying bugs. There were some fine webbing noted too. WHERE did they come from indoors?
I like that you are using Bags. I use them too.
Just wondering why you are taking all the foliage off of the stems?
I hope this season is going better for you. Praying for you and your family
So sorry for lose thats terrible loss. I had them once they finished my dahlias. I saw them again this year. I used Vinegar with soap it worked
what about control of humidity levels? I've read regular fridges can keep at most 55-60% of humidity levels. Flowers need more like 90% humidity.
What do you sell your 5 flower bunches for?
Thank you for showing the hard work and dedication it takes to run a flower farm 💐🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experience & hard work providing beautiful flowers to so many 🙏🏼❤️
There is no control for that take this video down
Lady buys ur flowers, they die a bit quick she didnt want to waste the water so she threw it in her lovely healthy garden........no shes fucked along with how many others. Nice that ur learning from your very basic mistakes but every one else dont deserve that. I really really urge you to quit quit quit. Its very bad what ur doing.
When you say producing 100 stems you've been selling these?
That's criminal
Only second Yr gardening and growing dahlias but your farming them and you were still cutting and trying to grow more of what you suspected were infected plants? And the damage didn't happen overnight surely from the mites?
Excellent video. You are a very hard worker. Be proud.
Thank you! I just found out recently that you can clone these. I am always looking for ways to stretch my landscaping budget.
Where do you buy your tubers.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for this video and being so transparent about everything.
Have you tried a flower stand at the end of your driveway or are you not on a busy road? And/or having Upick days for people to come and pick a bouquet for themselves? It's incredibly admirable that you're devoting such an incredible amount of work to get your farm to where you want it to be, especially on your own. I hope your mentor is also helping physically, because that looks pretty exhausting. Good luck, I hope you have a very successful year.
Get some electric shears.
Never, ever would I have thought of that, never less attempted. Hope its working well, cant wait to hear on your next video. Hope all is well with the family & farm
Your realism into the reality of becoming a flower farmer is invaluable, Thank you! Just found your channel and joined before the video was over. You definitely have me reevaluating my decision to add a smaller flower farm to my garden and livestock. Absolutely loved the video and the knowledge that you shared. Your flowers and farm are beautiful, as well as your family. Cant wait to watch more, hoping God is blessing you
I just found your channel, all your videos are from 1yr ago. Are you still farming? I hope all is well.
As a grower I recommend not waiting until your plants are deficient to feed . A steady diet rich in calcium will keep pests from taking over . The stronger the cell walls the harder it is to infest
Starting my flower farm this year . Wondering where you bought your tubers ?
I am not a flower farmer but I love flowers. This is a lot of work to say the least. Wishing you the best.
So! I have a question, I own a coffee shop/gift shop, people constantly ask if I sale flowers there’s a local wholesale place in my area that I would like to purchase from my question is , can I use one of the drink glass door to display them?
Ouch. The channel/farm is dead now, i'd assume. You should have put black landscape fabric down in that entire tunnel and used panda plastic, not cheap marijuana grow bags. Thirdly, you should have used a more reputable source for the potting mix. I would only trust promix with that large of a grow, all these new companies are selling tainted product. This entire setup was not well thought out. Thanks for making the mistakes so we don't have to.
Are you guys coming back to TH-cam this year? I love your videos!!
Wow your a great guy I can tell and such a had worker ,your flowers are Beautiful! Good information that I can use .
Which sodium chloride tablets do you use? We have no plans for selling flowers but, I do grow as many flowers as I can make room for on our 1.5 acre (minus the house, shed, chicken coop, vegetable gardens, 18 tree orchard, high tunnel and in-ground pool) home property. Believe me, I squeeze in at least 100 flower plants. On top of that, we are nurses with long shifts and my husband also teaches at the college when not at the hospital or on-call. Our children are grown with children. I am really looking to share my flowers with community places-hospital, nursing homes, assisted living homes, schools, etc.
Excellent points, well explained, and a good dad. What more does someone need? Thank you!
Are you still growing flowers? I loved your channel and its been a long time since you have made any posts. Just wondering how its going?
Hope you guys are doing OK. I remembered watching your videos and realized how long it had been since posted one. Positive vibes prayers, you guys are doing good.
