- Let's set up the flower stand with ranunculus bouquets! I'm sharing two changes to growing ranunculus from corms that made a big difference in the health of my plants.
- แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I don’t know if you have ever watched the channel “HortTube with Jim Putnam” but he uses very little fertilizer, as in handfuls slung around the garden areas once in early spring. Instead, he uses compost as mulch which as you know acts as fertilizer and helps the soil improve also. He lives near Raleigh NC and has the usual red clay soil of the southeast. His theory is that over fertilizing contributes to insects and diseases. He has a degree in horticulture and for many years had a garden center and was a landscaper. Might be worth looking at some of his videos to see what you think of how he’s transformed his yard since he moved there 3 years ago. Reminds me a lot of what you have done. 👍💕
I just subscribed to his channel. Looking forward to seeing his growing techniques
@@madambutterfly5343 he has several years of videos and I think he has them organized in play lists if there’s something in particular you are interested in. He has another channel with each video about a specific plant but I don’t remember the exact name. Might be “Garden Plants with Jim Putnam”. I hope you enjoy the videos!
I really appreciate your small flower farm. Its more realistic for most of us. You have done a great job!
Thank you so much for sharing how much you sold, it is helpful to see this realistic view on selling at a flower stand. I love how peaceful and calm your videos are, with the nature sounds in the background. Thank you for sharing your garden with us, it is beautiful to watch!
Oh, oh, oh! Those jar bouquets of ranunculus are gorgeous! You've really perfected the presentation, Danielle. Wish I were close enough to visit your stand!
Well, if I lived closer I would be a regular customer. Your arrangements are so beautiful 💐
I wish I lived closer to you, I wouldn’t even bother growing my own cut flowers I would just buy yours every week. Beautiful!
So great to hear your bouquets are selling so well even in the heat. I love your stand set up and the flowers are so gorgeous!
I wish I lived near you. I would be a steady customer 😊. Those ranunculus ( spelling?) are absolutely stunning. Love seeing what you're up to in your gardens.
This is my first year growing ranunculus as a professional gardener and they already sprouted nicely indoors in December. Using grow lights indoors I use lights for 10h for leaf development and for blooming they get 12h light. Here in Germany the hortucalistic resarch says that they need potassium fertilizer and lower night temperatures than day temperatures.
Your creations look gorgeous!
I think you do an amazing job with all aspects of your flower farm and stand. Those ranunculus are so gorgeous! I hope you figure out the secret so you can have good success every year.
I love this vlog style of video!!! And I'm loving seeing more about your flower stand. My daughter and I started a cut flower garden/business this year, spreading it around in the landscape and in some dedicated beds. She's 15 and I love that she'll start her life knowing how to do this sort of thing. We're newbies, but are learning so much from all your videos! Thanks!
Thanks for all the hard work to bring us these videos❤
The ranunculus have done very well this year perhaps due to the cool and dry weather here in the Midwest. Interestingly the anemones are struggling!
Your video was so enjoyable! I am in zone 5a in southern Wisconsin and started my ranunculus and anemones in mid February. After presprouting in the basement, I put them under grow lights in the cool basement. I planted them outside from March 21 to April 7 when the weather allowed. Mine go directly in the ground and Espoma Land and Sea was mixed into the soil. I covered and uncovered as needed due to temperatures. I did sprinkle Flowertone over them once. Mine began blooming mid May and still have blooms and buds. However, we have been 15 degrees above normal for a week which is not good. It is also very dry but I have been consistent with water. I will appreciate every bloom. I have enjoyed the Mistral rarity anemones with their soft colors and also have a lot of double anemones. I have many varieties of ranunculus and also love the butterfly ranunculus. I source mine from flower farms like Fleur Farm in Vermont, Flower Hat in Montana, Sunny Meadows in Ohio, Carolina flowers and Flourish Flower farm in North Carolina. They have performed so well and I will order from them this fall. I also bought some ranunculus and anemones from Van Engelen when I ordered my tulips and the corms were huge and the double anemones were like small turtle's. Thanks for another video that inspires me and have a great day!
Thanks for the list of sources! I will check them out.
Love your garden and your "teaching" videos. I have a couple of ideas for your flower stand, recognizing that you may already be doing these things. When you wrapped the bouquet on this video, I did not see you attach a business card or label which would tell the receiver of the bouquet where they could buy one of their own at a future time. Also, it is very common for me to pass a roadside stand and not realize it until I am already past it. Perhaps signs along the road indicating fresh flowers ahead on your left or right would give those driving by a heads up. Your floral arrangements are always so beautiful!
Looks beautiful Danielle. Thank you for teaching us how to grow these a few years ago. This year was a very successful year with my Ranunculus ❤
What I learned from Jenny love’s podcast (topic:brix) and tony from bare mountain farm is that the nitrogen in fertilizer or amendments creates an imbalance to flowers. It creates these pockets, in the stem I guess, that makes it weak/sickly and attracts the bugs. It was mentioned that we don’t need a lot of nitrogen in amendments because it’s readily available in the environment.
Yes, more of the informal vlog-style videos!!!
I've been watching your videos for a while now and you've inspired me to start my own cutting garden. I tried anemones this year with pretty good success! I would love to try ranunculus next year.
Your garden is looking so beautiful ☺️🌱
Love your videos, Danielle, I’ve learned so much from you. I’m in 5B, waiting for lilies to bloom next!
look at those giant black Centaurea behind you!! Amazing!
If I lived nearby, I'd buy bouquet every day! GORGEOUS
Beautiful!
These ate the contents that i like to watch.. more harvesting and flower stand vids please..
Beautiful bouquets! Love these videos!
Your bouquets are absolutely gorgeous!!
Love the flower stand videos!
So beautiful! Love this style of video.
Hi Danielle, What a beautiful flower stand presentation!! I love rununculus and would have brought one of your bouquets. Unfortunately I'm to far away. Thanks for sharing what it takes to harvest and wrap up your gorgeous bouquets for the stand. And that was a wonderful surprise to see your amaryllis blooming in June! 😍 All Your efforts are much appreciated 😊 keep up the amazing job you do.
I was reading this and just realized I COULD buy some bouquets! I've just discovered channel less than 6 months ago. There are several reasons I subscribed, but one was that Danielle is almost a neighbor. I'm in Jarrettsville, Maryland, zone 7a. She's many levels higher than me, so I learn a lot!
Thank you Danielle, happy gardening ❤
Those look great. So glad the Rans are growing so well for you this year.
So beautiful 🙌
AS always, a delightful video full of information and fun!
So motivating to try more flowers in my garden. Your arrangements are fantastic
Danielle I love your videos in your garden how you demonstrate the progress you make in your yard and explain in normal terms how you change the plants as you change your yard
I love your bouquets. I just started growing flowers for myself hoping i'll make some beautiful bouquet too!!
It's a great result with strong stems. I think it is the early planting. It's really a cool flower and the longer stronger stems and big heads seem like a product of a great root system, which is stimulated by the cold and dark. I've heard overwintering is ideal in a low tunnel in zones 6-8.
I’m thinking to overwinter next year in my zone 6a MA. But for this year I am planning on getting them outside towards the end of February and cover them with frost cloth and greenhouse plastic:) maybe I’ll decide on mid Feb
I have never had any luck with ranunculus, but I’m going to keep trying! Thanks for the inspiration Danielle!
Lovely tips and discussion!
Glad to hear more content may be coming! I'm not at the ranunculus level yet, but in the next few years probably.
They are so beautiful, I tried twice growing a small amount just to learn the process of growing the corms . I had a very poor outcome. The corms looked great when they sprouted and then started to rot. I planted out the ones that were healthy. I’m embarrassed to say I literally had two beautiful flowers . I was so disheartened I didn’t try again . But seeing yours has inspired me to take another try at it. A beautiful video. Thank you .
🎉 beautiful bouquets wish i was in your area! Have a gr8 day💐
Danielle, I have loved all of your videos, and wanted to chime in that I also love this vlog style! Thank you so very much for all of your sharing!!
Thank you! Will you consider sharing the business aspect of the flower stand?! Please!? Like book keeping, tax , business licensing & such! Thank you!
I’m soooo excited for more flower stand videos!!!! 🎉
Thank you for sharing!
Those sunset coloured ranunculus are gorgeous.
Thank you so much for sharing all this information, this year I am aiming to donate 30 bouquets a month to a local nursing home and the info I've Bern getting from your videos lately is helping soooo much with my planning (I'm stilling winter here in Australia) thank you again!
I love these videos!
Amazing bouquet ❤
BEAUTIFUL colors!!! Gardening is a hit/miss. DEF need to repeat the same process for true findings. Lovely!
Thanks Danielle.🌸💚🙃
The colors on those Aviv picotee cafe just knock me out!! Gorgeous.
Thank you so much for sharing 😊😊😊😊 I love everything you do 💞💞💞 I learning a lot of with you. Thanks
I am so inspired by your channel. Your arrangements are spectacular. I’d buy a bouquet from you every week if I lived closer. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely garden.
Your orange ranunculus bouquet are just gorgeous.
thanks for the tutorial, very useful.
Thank you for starting my day off right🥰
Agreee
I really enjoy your channel!
I live in switzerland and I have aphids on the poppies too:) love your informational videos, showing when and how you do things. Thank you!
I planted out earlier this year. Blooms didn’t come earlier. Last yr I grew under lights after sprouting and had lush healthy plants. Next year, I’ll definitely follow the direction you presented here oh and will be planting in a sunnier spot too. 🤞🏻
Love these type of videos! Soo much information, your knowledge is so valuable 😊 super thanks for sharing it with us! I will stay tuned and ser how the ranunculus experiment goes next year. This year's ranunculus look amazing! 😍Wow wow! Greetings, Judit 🤗 ps I wish you were my neighbour! Talk flowers every single time we meet 🤪😍😄
I have had great luck with ordering ladybugs in bulk and releasing them into my garden to handle aphids. Your flower stand is lovely and your bouquets are beautiful. Your videos are always so relaxing to me! I watch them when I get home from along day of teaching first grade.
Though it may work well , harvesting lady bugs for sale can be detrimental to their population and you should never introduce non-native insects to your ecosystem. Instead try to create an environment that attracts and benefits your local lady bugs and other beneficial insects
Love your video.
This is sooo helpful!!
I’ve noticed aphids on blooms in my Hoophouse when the plants are stressed. I think your early planting and less rain this spring made for healthier, stronger plants! Yay, love ranunculus! Mine in my Hoophouse didn’t have a great year - too consistently hot here and I think I didn’t water quite enough. Here’s to a great summer!
I love watching you prepare those gorgeous bunches for the flower stand. How do you choose which flowers to grow specifically to cut and sell? They seem to be long stemmed up to now.
For a long time I didn’t cut any flowers from my garden to enjoy for myself because I felt it destroyed the composition of my garden. But I’m getting more relaxed about that and bringing some beautiful flowers inside to enjoy. I have a controlled patch of Lilies of The Valley that I just love surrounded by bi-colored Hosta leaves. Thank you for doing more flower stand videos….they’re so much fun!
It’s been a great year for spring flowers! The cold snaps worried me, but everything still breezed thru it.
Your heat is amazing. You are hotter than we are in upstate SC. We have low 80s. Crazy weather. Crazy climate. Your ranunculus make me envious. I will grow them next year.
Beautiful arrangements. I really liked the orange and copper colored bunch. Have you considered a bouquet a month/twice a month at nursing homes or senior living facilities? Would really brighten their room. And the families feel better knowing they may not be able to visit as much as they could. Or even take the flowers to them and build their own arrangement. Your flowers are organic and beautiful.
In my dahlia beds I have the odd Flanders poppys growing that have self seeded. Every year a couple of the poppys get black aphids on them but no aphids on the dahlias even though they are touching each other in the beds. The poppys are definitely a trap crop. A long blast of hose water does the trick.
Loved that video ! Those Ranunculas 😮😍😍wow how stunning . I LOVE snapdragons and dahlias, but I get REALLY bad powdery mildew on both of them ! so interesting what u talk about ! We get a lot of rain too, and my garden is small so air flow is not great. I think I really do over fertilise.
The renunculus look sò gorgeous!
Your ranunculus flowers are so beautiful this year! I soaked my corms that I saved from last spring, because I forgot about them, and then I planted them directly into my garden soil on March 4 of this year. By May 19, about twenty percent of them were blooming beautifully. So, next year I will make sure to plant fresher corms instead of holding them over winter. I did not have any trouble with pests or powdery mildew here in N.C. I love your experiments in your garden so much! That is what I love to do in my garden too! Isn't this time of year wonderful?
Your stand set up is so inviting. I hope you continue to have great success with it 💖 I grew Ranunculus for the first time this year and there’s no going another year without them! I enjoyed them so much💗 Here in SoCal 10a. Danielle will they come back for me next year if I just leave them in the ground? Thank you for all the amazing videos💗
I wish I lived in your neighborhood. I would buy flowers every day.
First of all, I LOVE the video style you’ve been sharing! As a creator, I know first hand what it takes to film and edit a video 😅 this inspires me to relax a bit in my filming! Secondly, in my humble opinion, the aphids won’t do enough damage (hopefully) to the poppies, I feel like they will bloom and produce seed pods for you. I’m also definitely trying to use less fertilizer as well. Learning more about that as I garden. Thanks Danielle 💚
Yes! Definitely, GORGEOUS! I need to get the timing of ordering corms down pat. Do you have a favorite source to order from?
Sew some nasturtium, those will pull away the aphids away from your other plants! I always plant them in my veggie garden for that reason. And mariegolds also a very good the keep them away. You can put both kind in big pots and place them in strategic places in the garden
I’m a first year grower and yesterday I looked at my pathetic ranunculus and decided to not bother with them next year. However this video may have changed my mind. Thanks for sharing this
I totally agree with Jim Putnam. We’re using to much fertilizer
Well I am so glad I watched your video tonight...I have three different styles of poppies and they have those little black bugs on the leaves..not every plant just here and there..I did not know those bugs are called Black Bean Aphids..crazy..I was spraying them with a dish soap solution..or just cutting the whole leaf off..now I see you can use a solution of castile soap , oil and water...will try that and see..Its crazy dry here in this part of Pa...I love your stand...
Absolutely gorgeous!
Perhaps more sand in the base of your gardens.
Have never had luck growing ranunculus.
I'd love to hear more about how you deal with aphids, thrips and other pests.
Your bouquets looked great. About the black aphids- I got them on my nasturtiums and I was happy that they left my climbing tomatoes alone. So try growing nasturtiums around your prized plants and they’ll leave’em alone hopefully.
I am in Maryland and the black aphids are crazy this year!
Beautiful bouquets! I get most of my poppies covered in black bean aphid every year, they might be acting as a trap crop. Happy Sunday everyone!
Thank you for sharing your lovely wrap! Are these mason jars or a different type? Where do you get them from?
Tried ranunculus for 1st time this yr, was so happy they all sprouted so well. Planted most in raised planters and the ground then few in terra cotta pots. ones in the planter was infested with black aphids, ones in the ground were eaten by either rabbits or deer. Dug them all out. Don’t think I will try again next yr. It just seems like so much work and time. Still have 2terra cotta pots…no blooms yet. Love how you arranged and wrapped the flowers! I wonder if you put a shade cloth or plant shade trees close to the booth might help.
I love any way you do your videos! And yes to the vlog style. I always learn so much from you. I particularly like to watch you putting together your bouquets. Thank you!
Another helpful video. Thank you! Your blooms are much bigger than mine. Do you know what size corms you planted? And do you dig them up and replant the same corms?
I think its because you got them in the ground earlier, they had more time to grow into bigger, better plants. But the other things maybe contributed. This was my first year growing in a hoophouse, & it really helped keep them from being ruined by all the rainstorms. I still got aphids- one hoophouse got them worse than the other.
I always give them biotone at planting time, & then 2-3 times a month with a liquid Fertilizer like fish emulsion or proven winners water soluble, because Dave Dowling says they're very heavy Feeders.
Planting them much earlier this year (most I presprouted beginning in early Feb & tp out early march I believe, I'd have to check my notes to be sure) I was able to harvest from them beginning in april, very heavily harvesting late april- all of may)& they're JUST now starting to look like the heat is causing them to go dormant!
So gorgeous. I ended up growing mine under lights this year since we had a huge late snowfall that prevented me from planting them out earlier. They are just now budding up here in 5b. Curious to know how many corms you planted? Also, are you covering them with frost cloth (ag19?) or plastic? Let's hope the aphids stay where they are!
Danielle, i just can’t get over gow tall your flowers are already! Wow, what is your secret?
I'm in 6b as well (cental PA, north of you a bit I think), this is my first year doing a cut flower garden and growing ranunculus. Mine are looking great as well, no powdery mildew issues at all, I'm wondering if it was the lack of rain! I did use a fish emulsion fertilizer weekly-ish before they started blooming. I had an aphid issue with them but released a bunch of ladybugs that have gobbled them all up for me!
Have you looked into beneficial nematodes for your pests? It’s been a game changer in my yard with Japanese and cucumber beetles, along with aphids. Super easy to apply and natural.
I got black bean aphids on my poppy leaves too just in one area and they were on nothing else. I tried just hosing them off lightly . I don’t know how much it helped but they are still going to bloom.
I haven't used any fertiliser on either my vegetable or ornamental garden for years. I make my own compost and lie it on top of the soil around the ornamentals or simply plant my vegetables straight into the layer of compost. I apply compost once a year. I follow Charles Dowding's no dig approach. His channel is mainly about vegetables but he uses the same system for his ornamental garden.
Love the vlog style videos! Do you save any forms from year to year?
Those ranunculus are gorgeous. I bought a couple of started plants from a greenhouse in PA and tried to grow them here in northern VA two years in a row with no success. They quit blooming instantly. Bummer!
Gorgeous ranunculus! I just grew them for the first time this year. They have flowered a lot but are much shorter than yours. Is it just a particular type that grows taller? I’m in zone 6b with full sun. I have lots of green aphids on them and would love to know if you found a way to get them off the blooms ❤️
