@@YouCantEatTheGrass It was great! It was kind of like Ian was the guinea pig for all of us who would be making the same mistakes. We benefitted from the instruction you gave afterward. Thank you both!
I admire your ability to maintain your artful and creative drive through such very demanding physical work. The love and care you have for your flowers and produce is evident. Your community is enriched by what you offer at the market and your stand. Love watching from 2,200 miles away!
Gosh I admire how you manage to do all the farm things before a market AND film it AND have kids/life stuff going on behind the scenes. Incredible! You are amazing 🙌
Seeing your son put what I think are strawberries into the cubbie of his tractor, made me smile 🙂 my 4 yo grandson puts everything he treasures into what we call the "trunk" of his "bike", his tricycle, it's sometimes hilarious, and always adorable. I say, these simple opportunities to observe our children content, and joyful are the real spice of life. These children are the treasure of our lives, the treasure of our country's future. Your children are getting a valuable education about food and where it comes from.
they like to make potions and jam with the berries. I only grow them for the kids, so I don't mind too much - they eat a lot of them too just as garden snacks
The editing is truly top notch, so enjoyable. This week I loved teaching Ian to put a bouquet together as a way to teach us all. Very informative content. Congrats on top sales even through the heat, smoke and broken AC. You guys are kill'n it! 👍🏻 Stay safe.
you should harvest the glads corms, store them for the winter (easy to do) and plant them back in the spring. So that you can get back the original investment. Usually, the flowers become more and more beautiful as the years go by (as long as you fertilize after harvesting the flower).
The gladiolus bouquets were gorgeous, in fact they were all amazing. Ian put together a gorgeous display. You two are a great team on so many levels and an inspiration to many !
I love the glads! I want them to sell like crazy. I’m rooting for the glads and amaranth. I’m on the FLOWER TEAM. Am such a fan, I wait every week for your harvest episode.
Serena the care and thought you put into every bouquet is impressive and they're all beautiful. Good job Ian! And I loved how Serena gave tips but still fully supported the one of a kind Ian bouquet. 🙂
Ian did a great job with that bouquet. We call it a designer’s choice at the flower shop. No recipe just whatever you want. The glad bouquet with the lettuce was amazing!!!
The stand definitely looked prettier today. Serena the bouquet with the glads and the lettuce was beautiful and your class on bouquet making was very pro. The sunflower smiley was so cute....😃 congratulations on another successful market and looking forward to lots more.......
YES ! so happy you guys did more than 1000 $ at the market ! I love your creative ideas Serina , the Amaranth , Lettuce fillers ! And just love the glads !
Really beautiful flowers this week! I am glad you still managed to have such a good stand. I think your reputation for flowers is really starting to build into something.
Loved the bouquet building segment with Ian, it shows how much skill goes into making the bouquets match the vision and the techniques you use to do so! Enjoying the longer videos. Would love to see you guys include a meal you cook or simple dish with your fresh farm food each week to give people ideas of local food they could make from the farmer's market or home grown produce. Also a bit about what you are preserving or canning each week in your busy schedules so you have some for winter. I think this would help give some insight into your week and help promote local food even more :) Also definitely team "veggies as filler," love that you get multiple uses out of your crops for the market!
We are so busy with the farm, that we don't do any sort of canning anymore. We throw whole tomatoes into the freezer, and also bags of leftover shishitos. And we freeze fresh fruit for winter.
It's so helpful to see how you guys do this! We're new to homesteading and hoping to do a small farmer's market booth next summer. So many great bits of information on the logistics of the market! Thank you!
Hello! Thank you for inspiring me to grow flowers. I love your zinnias. I want to grow more next year in my little urban garden. It is amazing how much joy they give. I also admire your determination to work through bad situations and find peace in them. Purpose gives power!
Love how you are both managing tour farm! Happy to see that this market was successful despite the smoke and covid! A little tip to bind the bouquets together: get your rubber band around some stems, rather high, do a tour and a half and end putting it around some other stems, lower this time. You can easily get your bands around every bouquet you make! Good luck to the two of you, hope you'll have a bit of rain soon...
We absolutely love your channel ☺️, both of you are so fun loving and knowledgeable, we see mega success coming your way! You both are stars shining bright, hard working ones.
My bouquets changed completely when I started adding greenery, either in the centre as a structure or as a 'collar' around the outside last. Watching Ian struggle with cosmos, bought back pain😂
I am such a huge admirer of your work towards sustaining yourself from what nature provides. I always wait for your weekly updates and it is my stress reliever of some sort from dealing with so much chaos from the hospital. Thank you so much.
The accepted hardiness zone for the classic Grandiflora gladioli (your typical garden glad) is zone 8, but it’s well known that by covering them with a good mulch, you can keep them alive in zones 6 and 7. But what’s more surprising is that sometimes (and there is no guarantee!), they survive the winter zones 4 and 5, even zone 3 with only the slightest bit of protection.
Thank you for the tip on the amirante. Mine is so tall and heavy that is hard to use and the side branches aren't very strong and they droop easily. Next year I will definitely try them in because I love the stuff. Thanks again for sharing this tip it is really important
Excellent! Your beets look spectacular. Those cylinder shaped ones are my all time faves. Alas I don't live in Kelowna but if I did I would have bought three bunches. Also I really appreciate how you keep the greens because cooked beet greens taste really good. Your market stand looked so beautiful.
It was so fun watching Ian create a bouquet and Serena giving him tips… I definitely would love to see that again!
everyone kept asking so we had to do it!
@@YouCantEatTheGrass It was great! It was kind of like Ian was the guinea pig for all of us who would be making the same mistakes. We benefitted from the instruction you gave afterward. Thank you both!
Watching Serina teach Ian was so helpful! Your bouquets are always so stunning Serina!!
thanks

We like the work, which really helps
@@YouCantEatTheGrass when your job Is your passion, it’s not a job ❤️
Loved the “Ian makes a bouquet” bit, and the instructional demo that followed! You guys are great at what you do!
Thanks so much!
Loved those Glad bouquets. Definitely worth digging up the bulbs, and saving for next year.
the fancy ones are definitely special

Agreed! I really liked the camera shot showing all the bouquets being wrapped
Thanks so much
@@jamieferguson7612 Yes that was the bit I actually said out loud "nailed it!" 🤣
Your secateurs, pruners always make such a satisfying snap as you harvest and... your videos are always such a lift, thanks!
love Ian's bouquet!!! also, Serena, u r an awesome teacher. I love how u compliment one another with your strengths and your "not so strengths"..lol
Oh thank you!
you should harvest the glads corms, store them for the winter (easy to do) and plant them back in the spring. So that you can get back the original investment. Usually, the flowers become more and more beautiful as the years go by (as long as you fertilize after harvesting the flower).
Yes, they overwinter inside after possibly growing baby corms for more flowers next season. It would be worth the time to dig them up and store them.
@@RTCPhotoWork Yes! Plus the kiddos would love digging out the corms with their hands!💜
we will overwinter these inside for us. But the cost of labour, ect, makes it so it is a losing crop for us, so we won't sell them in the future
The gladiolus bouquets were gorgeous, in fact they were all amazing.
Ian put together a gorgeous display.
You two are a great team on so many levels and an inspiration to many !
The glad/lettuce bouquets were beautiful!
I was thinking about how beautiful the stand was just before Ian said he thought it was even better than last week! :)
i think it was the best yet
Agree! It was super pretty :)
Serena and Ian! I loved the bouquet making lesson. It was so fun to see what Ian put together . Then Serena explaining her technique! Loved it.
Ahh! Two friends smiling in the field together! 😂😂😂 13:12
I love the glads! I want them to sell like crazy. I’m rooting for the glads and amaranth. I’m on the FLOWER TEAM. Am such a fan, I wait every week for your harvest episode.
how much everyone online loves the glads makes up for their poor selling at market
Serena the care and thought you put into every bouquet is impressive and they're all beautiful. Good job Ian! And I loved how Serena gave tips but still fully supported the one of a kind Ian bouquet. 🙂
Congratulations on meeting your goals this week despite the challenges
a nice surprise
I enjoyed the sunflower faces. Everyone needs some comic relief these days.
I loved Ian’s colors. And Serina’s structure.
I would love to see more of Serena and Ian making bouquets. I actually learned a lot too!
It will be a while until I get Ian back, lol. Maybe this fall winter he will have to do a dried bouquet
Serena making bouquets is my favourite part of the videos 🌸🌺💕🌻💐
Ian did a great job with that bouquet. We call it a designer’s choice at the flower shop. No recipe just whatever you want.
The glad bouquet with the lettuce was amazing!!!
The flowers and the stand is gorgeous 💐 I didn't know how relaxing watching flower picking and bouquet making is for me. Releasing those endorphins ☺⚘
The stand definitely looked prettier today. Serena the bouquet with the glads and the lettuce was beautiful and your class on bouquet making was very pro. The sunflower smiley was so cute....😃 congratulations on another successful market and looking forward to lots more.......
Thanks so much 😊
My mother is an artist and she really liked the glads with the sunflowers, said that it was beautiful.
YES ! so happy you guys did more than 1000 $ at the market ! I love your creative ideas Serina , the Amaranth , Lettuce fillers ! And just love the glads !
At very least, we have enjoyed the glads in the garden, and getting to share pretty pictures of them with everyone
This was the most beautiful market setup. I love and look firward to the market videos
Flowers are winners and your creative touch with flowers awesome
Really beautiful flowers this week! I am glad you still managed to have such a good stand. I think your reputation for flowers is really starting to build into something.
thanks
Great sale! WOW! You did it! Good for you!
45 Bouquets! Excellent!
That is the most BEAUTIFUL market stand I have ever seen. WOW! You guys are amazing...
Beautiful flowers...u inspire me to start my own flower garden...
Go for it!

I love the happy and unhappy sun flowers 🌻😂🤣
Everything looks amazing! Especially the sunflowers
Love the sunflower glad bouquet
You two are sooo great together. Your kids are just beautiful. I love seeing all the flowers. Those zinnias are just gorgeous!
It's so helpful to see how you guys do this! We're new to homesteading and hoping to do a small farmer's market booth next summer. So many great bits of information on the logistics of the market! Thank you!
I really liked Ian's bouquet!
I would totally buy your bouquets, Serena. They are amazing!!!!
I think you did an amazing job with the white sunflower and purple glads, that lettuce stuff you used was killer too! Love it
I was shocked how nice those looked in the end, they were one of my favorites that week
Those veggies look SO good, and the flowers are the stuff of dreams. Love the glad bouquet!
Your Flowers are SO beautiful & your Veg always looks delish! Love the striped Tomatoes.... 👌
I loved the fuchsia in Ian's bouquet over the chartruise.
I love the glads !!! The colors are beautiful ♥️
I fall into all the flower buyer categories 😂😂
I cant pass up a good bouquet of flowers 💐
Right?!
Woohoo fantastic market day! I really really loved how those glad and sunflower bouquets turned out. And clearly the customers did too.
Always enjoy your harvesting and market day
Loved watching Serina explained making bouquets!
You did better than you thought!!! Yay 😃

Beautifully made bouquets Serina and Ian too. Well done at the market

I always watch your video I love your flower farm Thank you for sharing
Your hard work guys is amazing! Congratulations!
I actually rewatch all of your old shows 😅😂 I just love y
Always entertained while marveling at your talent.
Ian’s bouquet is great
Yipeeeeeeeeeeee! You guys crushed your $1000 goal! Well deserved! Stay safe and be well!
thanks
I'll never get tired watching the harvesting 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
we watch them in the winter when we miss the abundance
I honestly love the texture that the bolted lettuce has! It ended up looking so pretty in the bouquet.
W.O.W❣ Ian's bouquet 💐
All that work paid off!! x The stall looked absolutely gorgeous!
Luv it Serena and Ian!
I want to see Ian make more bouquets. I think he has good instincts!
I work in a flower shop and that glads, lettuce, and sunflower bouquet would be 60$…it’s beautiful, you do great work! 🌻❤️🙂
You work so hard- but still have time and energy to play!
Thank you for the tip on the amirante. Mine is so tall and heavy that is hard to use and the side branches aren't very strong and they droop easily. Next year I will definitely try them in because I love the stuff. Thanks again for sharing this tip it is really important
the skinny stems do droop a little, but I like the look with a little movement
Ughhhh. I LOVE the glads!!!
The red Celosia flowers are beautiful in the bouquets.
JEFF GORDON!! YAY!! Y'all are cool!
Fab video as always. I love the updates on what sells and in what order. More of those please❤️
Thank you! Will do!
You two are always sO positive! May God Bless Your work and effort. I feel you're greAt stewards of what God has entrusted you with. Blessings!!!
I think Ian’s Colorpalette was great! You should let him make bouquets more often. For a first shot he did great.
Their relationship is so beautiful and loving! Keep the vids coming 😁❤️
Excellent! Your beets look spectacular. Those cylinder shaped ones are my all time faves. Alas I don't live in Kelowna but if I did I would have bought three bunches. Also I really appreciate how you keep the greens because cooked beet greens taste really good.
Your market stand looked so beautiful.
cylindra is my favorite too - not many other growers sell it too, so it's a bit differtent at market
Your bouquets are the best, and so are you guys!
thanks
So glad yall were able to do over $1000 at your market!! Ian did good for his first time putting together a bouquet. 💐 it just takes practice.
I thought he did great!
Great job!
Ian needs to make a bouquet every week. It would be fun to see him learn and grow in his skills :D.
I don't know if there is enough time for that, lol. We cut a lot, it took Ian about 20 minutes to put together his bouquet
@@YouCantEatTheGrass Haha, that makes sense! It was an entertaining moment so hopefully it was worth the 20 minutes!
great video thanks for sharing
Great tips on the flower bouquets and growing flowers. ☀️🌸
thanks
You make a great team!
The gladiola arrangements with sunflowers were amazing!
You guys make a great team✌🏼 your passion and drive are what make you so successful, enjoy your videos. Hello from Vancouver Island 🌷🌿🇨🇦
Congrats on the great market!
What a great sale despite the conditions! I love how this year all that hard work you have put in over the past few years is really bringing results.
every year and every piece of infastructure gives us more time to work on growing and selling. Its getting there!
I normally don’t like glads but you made them look beautiful!
You both are so inspirational loved the video!
Great stand, amaz8ng bouqets!
thanks
Wow congrats on the market!
thanks
You certainly have an eye for the flowers Serena, something that can't be taught.
