Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm glad you found this video helpful! Unfortunately I have now "retired" from farming, at least for the time being. I have since moved on to a new season in life, pursuing a career in marketing. I still love having fresh flowers in my new home and supporting other local flower farmers!
Great info this was very helpful! I know this year was a bit overwhelming and must be why you did not continue the "Farmer Florist's Year" series but I am hoping you can continue this series in 2021.
Hi there! Thank you for your kind message. Unfortunately I have "retired" from farming, at least for the time being. I have since moved on to a new season of life with a career in marketing, but I always keep fresh flowers in my new home!
Just found this video again. I still love it! I hope that your still making videos or performing in some way. You are very funny, creative and talented. 🌸🌸
Don't cry! You did an excellent job, describing how and when to plant. It's a very informative video, and, honestly, loved your expressive eye shots!! Hang in there! Our industry needs new, innovative thinking people such as yourself!!
Hey Neighbor! I’m a flower farmer from Hutchinson. You did a wonderful job on your video. Fun personality and great info. Love to meet you some time when I’m in the area. Also, I’m also a flower addict to an insane degree. I need an intervention. This was my first year. How large is your garden? Keep on making your videos. Your adorable! No tears allowed.
Hi Cynthia! I have now "retired" from flower farming, at least for the time being, but I will always love having fresh flowers in my home! My garden space was about 2,800 sq ft altogether, but I could have condensed it down to about 2,200. Thank you for your kind words and best of luck to your flowery endeavors!
Your spread sheets are so helpful. I wish you posted more often but I haven't seen any activity for a while, unless you are posting elsewhere and I don't know that. Love your analytical mind.
Had to watch your video for a class in herbaceous plants and your organization is amazing. And you lay out is Awesome too. Look forward to more videos.
Mary - You are a delight. I've been watching Cut Flower Farm Videos all day and just stumbled upon yours and what a treat! I'm a list and spreadsheet nerd so I obviously stopped surfing and gave you 100% of my attention. I brought out my computer so I could recreate what you were generously sharing with us. And with such a detailed explanation, thank you so much. By the way, you are hilarious and are going to have a huge fan club. This was a wonderful video and I hope you make more.

Thank you Mary! What a great job making this spreadsheet. I've tried but, quite frankly, I have the attention span of a knatt. I also have 73 yr old brain cells. And I'm moving from Denver to Oklahoma and the growing zones are way different. You have saved me so much time and sanity. This will come in sooo handy.
Impressive planning...I really need to work on mine! Crops are generally planted running north-south, so that all rows get plenty of sunshine (like vineyards). You still have to consider the height of plants, so that tall-growers are north of the more petite species if they share a row/bed, but you get less shading overall, and more flexibility for allocating species to beds. This is especially handy if you want to be able to rotate your crops and succession plant.
Great video! I have spent the last couple weeks planning my cut flower garden for next year & every time I think I'm done I'm like, "oh wait! I have to move that because it will block the sun once it grows to a mature height" it "that's not heat tolerant so I have to plant that a lot sooner.' There are sooo many things to conduct that you dont think about , until you're sitting down with a orb & paper, trying to figure things out!

I love your planning schedule. Every thing you need to know right at your finger tips. I, too, have started amping up my gardening this year and went seed crazy! I am thinking about flower farming and appreciate you sharing your experiences. Good luck! Looking forward to more videos from you.

Hey! Thank you so much this is incredibly helpful :) Next year is going to be my first year flower farming,.. so yeah over the last few months I've been up late, seed shopping and trying to configure it all in my mind. I'm also in a colder climate, zone 4a or 3b in Red Deer, Alberta, so a total bonus to come across this since we have a similar growing season! Hope you had a great summer. Would you be able to show us some of your flowers or your farm if you got any pics or footage from the year?
Hi. I’m looking for a spreadsheet like this. Could you please point me in the right direction? Newbie here. Would like to start things right. Thanks in advance. Excited to see more of your videos!!

This is very helpful! I can incorporate your tips into my backyard plans. Would love to see a video on how you map your successions. Do you have a date for Rip out and replace?
Since my growing season was so short, it was very rare that a crop would have time to mature, stop producing, and leave enough time to be replaced with another crop. If I were to factor that in to my plan, I would probably add another column for each succession with "rip out date," that was a certain number of weeks after the "maturity date," based on my experience of how long a crop produces after reaching initial maturity.
I love your channel already!!! Spring of 2021 will be my first year and I am freaking out a tad. I jumped head first and just going to go for it. I am in central KY so zone 6B but I loved seeing how you laid out your spreadsheet! Happy planting!! ~Shaina~

Hi there. Thank you for the great information. I am about to start my own small flower farm and would like to know what is the best way to control weeds in the flower beds. Please and thank you
What is a flower? A flower is a expression of happiness,a beautiful kiss , mood .... Etc. A flower is a language of nature which convey a message of celebration.... Do you think so?

Great content! I'm just in the process now of trying to organize a cutting garden for myself. This info is very usefull and love your spread sheet! My main concern, because I'm so new to this, is accidentally missing my pre-treatment window (i.e. pre soaking, statification, etc...). Is this something you've accounted for in your spreadsheet, or do you know it all by heart, so don't need to include it? Also, my last frost date is a span of 9 days. Do you usually use the first, last or middle day for guiding your planting schedule? Keep up the great work!
Hi there! I'm glad you've found this helpful! I personally didn't include pre-treatments in my calculations because I only had a few crops that required them. I usually keep a "notes" section for each crop and I would include that information there, but you could definitely add a column for each succession for pre-treatment dates. As for last frost date, I might plan to transplant certain plants that I know are hardier earlier in that last frost time range, but hold more tender plants until the last date or even later, just to be safe.
I randomly found you/this video today. I have spreadsheet envy. My girl and I are starting a you-pick flower farm in 2021. Not for the money but for the purpose in life. (You can google Deserae Turner for her story.) Anyway, I know comments help. So here is mine. I’ll subscribe and check out your other videos soon. Keep up the good work. 😊♥️💐
Hi Great video! Thank you. I was wondering the best way to sell.flowers at the beginning. Farmers market? Bouquet bar? Farm stan at my house? Any ideas? Prob not selling to florists
I would like a copy of your excel spread sheet. How much would you sell it for. Not the rights to it, just a copy so I can get a plan going on how to succession planting in my yard

Crops are generally planted running north-south, so that all rows get plenty of sunshine (like vineyards). You still have to consider the height of plants, so that tall-growers are north of the more petite species if they share a row/bed, but you get less shading overall, and more flexibility for allocating species to beds. This is especially handy if you want to be able to rotate your crops and succession plant.
Great video! I have spent the last couple weeks planning my cut flower garden for next year & every time I think I'm done I'm like, "oh wait! I have to move that because it will block the sun once it grows to a mature height" it "that's not heat tolerant so I have to plant that a lot sooner.' There are sooo many things to conduct that you dont think about , until you're sitting down with a orb & paper, trying to figure things out!
Amazing!!! I can’t wait to open an excel spreadsheet!
Hi Liz, glad you enjoyed!
Sorry for the delayed response, I have now "retired" from flower farming, at least for the time being, but I will always love having fresh flowers in my home!
I actually just created an automatic crop planner that is based on the spreadsheet in the video, but is set up with formulas that will calculate dates for you automatically. All you have to do is enter some information about the crops you're planting.
If you are interested, you can download it here: etsy.me/2P4ZioZ
I have also uploaded a full tutorial for how to use it, which you can watch here to get a better idea of how it works: th-cam.com/video/YW2BsmBItnc/w-d-xo.html
Happy planting!
You did a great job on your video. Keep em coming, please?
Fantastic! Would love to see a copy of your spreadsheet.

Love your personality! Your bouquets are stunning, amazing floral artistry! As a spreadsheet geek I can fully appreciate the time that went into that! Keep up the great work! New subscriber from Zone 5B Canada.
Omg I'm 5b canada too! Where about are you??
Thank you so much for the kind words, Roxanne!
Your doing an awesome job! Keep going. I love gardening and growing beautiful flowers and plants. 🌻👍
I love your planning schedule. Every thing you need to know right at your finger tips. I, too, have started amping up my gardening this year and went seed crazy! I am thinking about flower farming and appreciate you sharing your experiences. Good luck! Looking forward to more videos from you.
Oh man! I’m from brainerd, mn. I moved to Florida and am starting a cut flower business. Small world
Omg I spent so much money on seeds every year too.
Why not save seed?
Crushing it! Your going to have an incredible harvest 😍
You are absolutely adorable!
Can you provide a link to your spreadsheet this would be so helpful!
Please can you share you spreadsheet
That's so cheeky!
Hi Jules!
Sorry for the delay in response, I know it's a bit late at this point but I "retired" last year and have since moved onto a career in marketing.

Continue please! This is so great to learn about flower farming. Thanks you!
Loved your first video!!
Very helpful video! Thanks!
Thank you so much - this is very helpful. I love the planning spreadsheet - excellent idea. I'll check out your newest video too. BTW I love your humour
So funny, so informative!
I'm late!
That got me inspired to get my seeds out and actually plan.
I'm happy to hear that! I wish you the best!
Just saw this! It’s so helpful. Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing - loved your spreadsheet info!

Hey! Thank you so much this is incredibly helpful :) Next year is going to be my first year flower farming,.. so yeah over the last few months I've been up late, seed shopping and trying to configure it all in my mind. I'm also in a colder climate, zone 4a or 3b in Red Deer, Alberta, so a total bonus to come across this since we have a similar growing season! Hope you had a great summer. Would you be able to show us some of your flowers or your farm if you got any pics or footage from the year?
Wow! I appreciate your attention to detail! Good luck growing in 2021!!
Highly intelligent, thanks!!
Great job
Great video!
Fabulous! Thank you
Hi. I’m looking for a spreadsheet like this. Could you please point me in the right direction? Newbie here. Would like to start things right. Thanks in advance. Excited to see more of your videos!!

This is very helpful! I can incorporate your tips into my backyard plans. Would love to see a video on how you map your successions. Do you have a date for Rip out and replace?
Since my growing season was so short, it was very rare that a crop would have time to mature, stop producing, and leave enough time to be replaced with another crop. If I were to factor that in to my plan, I would probably add another column for each succession with "rip out date," that was a certain number of weeks after the "maturity date," based on my experience of how long a crop produces after reaching initial maturity.
Thanks!
I love your channel already!!! Spring of 2021 will be my first year and I am freaking out a tad. I jumped head first and just going to go for it. I am in central KY so zone 6B but I loved seeing how you laid out your spreadsheet! Happy planting!! ~Shaina~

I am from Rogers MN and it is my dream to have a flower farm!! I am actually live in a farm so land is not a problem. I am new to your channel and would love to connect with you!!
Life happens. 🙂 You're awesome. 💕 God/dess blessings from The Spirit of the Flower 🌼 🌸 ✨️ 🙏.
Way to grow girl 🌼
Great job thanks!
Hi there. Thank you for the great information. I am about to start my own small flower farm and would like to know what is the best way to control weeds in the flower beds. Please and thank you
What is a flower?
A flower is a expression of happiness,a beautiful kiss , mood .... Etc. A flower is a language of nature which convey a message of celebration.... Do you think so?
I would love to know how to do your spreadsheet! I’m a little bit computer savvy.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing.
That was awesome!!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Awesome video, thanks!
Amazing video! Keep them coming. I just subscribed:)
Great content!
I'm just in the process now of trying to organize a cutting garden for myself. This info is very usefull and love your spread sheet!
My main concern, because I'm so new to this, is accidentally missing my pre-treatment window (i.e. pre soaking, statification, etc...). Is this something you've accounted for in your spreadsheet, or do you know it all by heart, so don't need to include it? Also, my last frost date is a span of 9 days. Do you usually use the first, last or middle day for guiding your planting schedule?
Keep up the great work!
Hi there! I'm glad you've found this helpful!
I personally didn't include pre-treatments in my calculations because I only had a few crops that required them. I usually keep a "notes" section for each crop and I would include that information there, but you could definitely add a column for each succession for pre-treatment dates.
As for last frost date, I might plan to transplant certain plants that I know are hardier earlier in that last frost time range, but hold more tender plants until the last date or even later, just to be safe.
Hello! When you do another batch, do you do the same variety?
I randomly found you/this video today. I have spreadsheet envy. My girl and I are starting a you-pick flower farm in 2021. Not for the money but for the purpose in life. (You can google Deserae Turner for her story.) Anyway, I know comments help. So here is mine. I’ll subscribe and check out your other videos soon. Keep up the good work. 😊♥️💐
I understand you!
Hi
Great video! Thank you. I was wondering the best way to sell.flowers at the beginning. Farmers market? Bouquet bar? Farm stan at my house? Any ideas? Prob not selling to florists
Thank you
I would like a copy of your excel spread sheet. How much would you sell it for. Not the rights to it, just a copy so I can get a plan going on how to succession planting in my yard

Do the rows need to run east/west?
Just found you! 🤗
