This bouquet fills my heart!!! 🥰🥰🥰

the flowers are simple gorgeousssss!!!

Thanks for keeping it real! Just seems impossible for anyone who is not already viral. I hope you keep us informed but I. The easiest way possible for you. Clearly you don’t need to kill yourself editing. Your time is important too!

I appreciate your hard work and sharing your TH-cam journey.

I LOVE your accent!

I have been a subscriber for about 6 months now. I would like to see more of you getting down and dirty in the flower field. More close-ups of each of the flowers that you grow and any diseases that they have. Also, throw that cute little dog into a couple of videos. People love to see dogs following you around. I'm not a TH-camr but just some ideas trying to help.

Land is also very expensive in western Washington So we bought land in central/eastern Washington. So I totally understand the not being able to buy land thing. Do you need a specific insurance having a flower farm that you have people come to?

I think the double click cosmos will sell better :-) I LOVE them

I have an acre of land you could rent! We are in South East PA though.

Dos your sow seed zinnias get watered?

I just saw your videos for the first time today. And subscribed. Your videos are just so honest. I really appreciate that you don’t sugarcoat your mistakes and disappointments. I have a cut flower farm in central Illinois and am thinking about UPick. Your experience really helps me understand whether it would be feasible at my little farm. Your videos will help me avoid many things that I would not have understood without being 4 years into the operation. Thank you.

I am working on a farm plant myself. In your farming model, do you do any of the physical farming? Or do you have hired help to do the work part?

Thank you for sharing this openly. It's interesting to see other people's channels and their growth / analytics. My channel still has not been monetized and and I've been posting for 2.5 years. This is because I love to post short form content which does not count towards watch time hours. My goal is to get monetized in the next 6 months. Good luck on your TH-cam journey too!

Thank you I was curious of how it worked

Have you ever thought about making an online course? How to start a u pick flower farm? Something to make in winter and sell in years to come? Maybe even mini courses on flower growing/arranging.

Thanks for sharing. It reminded me that I have to make one of these videos in early January.

I think there’s a lot of TH-camrs so the market’s getting flooded

Wow. That is interesting…I just want to say, way to stick with it and persevere. That seems like a lot of work for not a lot of return. ❤ press on!

Wow, that is a lot of hard work for not a lot of return. I appreciate this kind of transparency. I am a pretty recent subscriber, but I have enjoyed your content so far. 😊💐

Navigating TH-cam revenue can be frustrating. It feels like there should be a logical cause-and-effect relationship, but it doesn’t seem to work out that way. A big part of how much we earn depends on what advertisers bid on different categories. Some categories can earn significantly more than others, so comparing them isn’t always helpful. I’ve noticed that certain types of videos perform better in terms of revenue-especially those where I discuss specific products or topics. Even if those videos get fewer views, they seem to bring in a bit more income. Interestingly, about 40% of my revenue comes from just two videos that continue to rack up views over time. I’m grateful to have those! I made the decision a while back not to chase the algorithm with clickbait or try to force “viral” content. Instead, I focus on creating the videos I want to make and leaning into what seems to work. Otherwise, the joy of it would disappear for me. I enjoy your videos, and I’m glad to hear you’re sticking with it! I’m excited to see how your new space comes together and following that journey. ❤

During the week, have you thought about reaching out to camps, daycares, and learning centers to schedule fields trips? Maybe that could be an extra source of income throughout the week.

What about income from TH-cam?

Thank you for letting us see - the beautiful, the ugly, and the informative. I appreciate your efforts and your willingness to share.

I’m curious if you have ever considered adding a sales channel. Like selling to a few florists. I would think you could get a pretty good price in your area. You could start really small and sell to 2 or 3 once a week. But if each of those shops spent $200 with you every week all season that might help. Just an idea. I have a flower farm and I sell direct to florists and it’s been a really great fit for my farm.

Every year a little but better! Thanks for sharing and good to know about the coupons.

I would suggest that the coupons offer not a lower cost on the first bouquet but a tiny extra gift like 5 extra flowers or a dollar store vase or a mini bouquet. People remember gifts more than discounts.

Wow that was an insight thankyou. At first seeing all your expenses my jaw dropped, but at the end, even though you didn't make a profit I was pleasantly surprised for you at how much you had pulled back and it wasn't a great loss. Coupons sound the way to go 👌. Next season will be your profit year ❤

Thank you for all the reflections… Just curious, were you able to make a profit in the other past years?

Thank you for all of your great cut flower tips. I hope you don’t mind me asking. This non-Flower question I absolutely love your paint colors in the room behind you Would you mind sharing the paint colors of the wall and trim? I have had a really hard time finding nice paint colors.

Hi 👋 great video. I like the flower choices. Can’t wait to see what it looks like!

Beautifully chosen!✨

I think that's a perfect recipe of flowers 👌. It's summer here now, I've put in more zinnia after your recommendation. With my China Aster, should I pinch them or just leave? Looking forward to following your new journey 🎉

Do people just pick a riot of colour for their bouquets Claudette? Or were they more artistic?

i didnt do enough of zinnia also last summer.. i will not repeat that again

Nice picks, thanks for your insights. When I ran my operation I did mainly Benarys giant zinnias, cosmos, and zohar sunflowers

I have problem watering starts too much under the light inside!!!

Gorgeous! Where were you? I'm currently studying a diploma in France to lead a farm in a 'vegetal profession' such as market gardening, flower farming, horticulture, fruits trees farming

Pretty

So awesome to see your boys helping you. So funny one is working and the other is playing on the blocks 🤣. Kids are great 💙

I think your farm is great! So sorry people have to take time to be so rude. I am a new subscriber and excited to learn :). I’m in So Alabama zone 9A. Pray your new farm will continue to be blessed in your new location 😊

I am going to be starting a flower farm in the spring. Starting all flowers from seeds. I live in São Miguel Azores in zones 10b 11b. I look forward to a new journey. Thank you so much for sharing your videos!

Aluminum, barium and strontium in the soil from chemtrails

Yay! Just in time to order plugs

What general area in NC . I am Pinehurst NC

From OZ. Know a few growers here. Best wishes for the future.

I've been watching you for a while now, and I always enjoy a new video as it comes out! Thank you for all you do and sharing your journey with us, I've truly enjoyed it and look forward to what's ahead for you! I'm going to retire from my full-time job and take a dive into starting a u-pick flower patch on our farm. My BIG question to you is how much growing space did you have in New York? I don't want to go too small, and I don't want to go too big. My situation is similar to yours was (I think, not sure where on long island you were located) we're about 20 miles from downtown St Paul, MN, so I there's potential. Thank you!!

Did you cut away any rotted,diseased or small tubers first?

Thank you, you are awsome

I have been gardening since I was 6 years old I am 86 years old I guess I must have figured out a few things

You must not be much of a gardener, I got 100% germination. No lights no temperature manipulation. Outside everyday inside in unheated room at night.
