About aphids: We have an organic fruit and vegetable farm in Germany and when our plants are infected with aphids, we plant all the infected plants in one place far away at the edge of the field. There, the plants serve as a natural breeding station for ladybugs and a large population of beneficial insects builds up, which then also fight smaller quantities of aphids in the normal fields.
❤ I loved listening to the thought process from both of you.and I liked the light haerted banter your hubby brought. Very good video. Thank you so much for all you both do❤❤
Oh my goodness I just love watching flower farms and warmer seasons! We only have flowers here a couple inches tall in Western Washington we're still rocking 50° weather
From what I’ve heard NRCS would have you address drainage issues with a funded high tunnel too. Dirt on Flowers podcast had a good series on tunnels, including considerations to make with spacing between for drainage, snow (if applicable) but also airflow and how one can slow airflow into the other if close together, lower sidewalls etc. I thought it was interesting. You all are very detailed and thoughtful so I’m sure these are considerations you have made already. Exciting to get a full on high tunnel! Woot!
Being a small budding flower grower.. this is so what I needed to hear.. fun to see and hear how you both work together. I have been God blessed by this video.
Zone 6A Toronto, Canada What I wanted to say is my favorite part of your videos is when Eric say let's open the flower vault then seeing how much he enjoys seeing gorgeous bouquets Alex got up so early and work hard putting those bouquets together. Fantastic. I enjoy seeing your bouquets Alex. Especially enjoy tulip shows as my tulips don't bloom until May . I have an abundance for Mother's Day. nice to see your flowers when all I have is just snow on the ground. ❤
Can you clarify why daffodils didn’t work for you? Was it the growing? (Maybe you lost them due to poor drainage) or was it the harvest (Did you triple rinse them to get off the exudate?)
For your CSA will those be picked up on Saturdays as well or is pick up a different day of the week. Curious if it’s helpful to you guys to do it another time of the week or if that mages bouquet building less efficient to do it twice
Hello again. I had asked a question a few days ago about the ranunculus. My daughter is getting married in April 26 of 2025. I want to make her bouquet and I am buying a small an unheated hoop tunnel house.. I want so bad to know what to seed and when to put it in the ground for flowers in April. I want stock, ranunculus, snapdragon and a few other things. I am just worried I want have it timed right. I live in zone 8a
It's hard to follow what you are saying.you guys talk over each other, interject and it derails the convo. the title says tips for a successful spring season and I'm really not sure what the tips were. I'm new to the channel so I'm not sure if it's always like this but if the title was chatting it up about our spring season it would make sense. Not trying to be rude but you asked what the thumbs down were for. I think for me that would be a reason. (I didn't give you a thumbs down)
Maybe you could add a “bullet point summary” for those of us who find it hard to follow points amid the banter

This is smart!

thank you so much
I like as much information as I can learn from these gardeners.
WoW! Can't wait to see the flowers in the new tunnel!!!! So happy for all your success!
Thank yall so much for the details and tips. You said you found a new place for your tulips? Where are you ordering now?
I enjoy you both so much, the banter, the laughs, and the info! Don't change! ❤❤❤

WW here too! This year has been particularly slow to start, hasn’t it? Gah.

Thank you again for all the content. I’m just starting out and your progress reports are so helpful.
Best part for me is when Eric say let's open the flower vault and seeing his reaction to all the bouquets 💐 😄
Absolutely here for all of it
So glad!

31:23 how about buying ladybugs in the tulip season era? They'll be reproducing and ready to feast on aphids by the time your others are in bloom!
“Like I really home school” 🤣 overalls are like a minivan- You hate it till you get it, then you sing their praises.
Yall are a joy to watch. ❤️
I enjoy your videos, keep them coming
Congratulations you two. You’re killing it!
So sorry about the aphids and drainage issues. Can’t wait to see the cooler build.
Hey listen! I bought the same tractor for our farm because of your video. Bravo!
Right on!

We want the bullet points and the banter😉
I used mushroom compost on my tulips here in Ireland. Super result on 6 thousand bulbs. We get a lot of rain so that definitely helped
they add urea nitrate to the compost here
Really enjoyed the video this morning
God bless you all
Hey. Love your channel. I have a question. When did u plant the ranunculus to have April flowers?
November
Can you clarify why daffodils didn’t work for you? Was it the growing? (Maybe you lost them due to poor drainage) or was it the harvest (Did you triple rinse them to get off the exudate?)
Snapdragons can be pinched to bush out, you can try pinching fewxof the stems so you can stagger the blooming time
I prefer the larger blooms
Ahhh, it's still spring! Let's not rush through the season. Lol!
It’s 90 degrees and zinnias are blooming. It is definitely summer here
@@CoramDeoFarm 😄 Florida still Spring
Love the T's. Sold!

I am so sorry about your Peonies. Ugh. This video is great! So much helpful information. You ARE a good team.
Also, what will fill you be using for growing tulips this next season instead of mushroom compost?

Where do you purchase your tulip bulbs? I want to buy more but need to find a good price
Very informative l am planning to grow assorted florals and retail/ wholesale 😊
Congratulations
I love the longer videos, I listen to them while I work and learn so much from you guys.
Tractor bro here!
Hi Alex.. Q? Do you flip the beds or use the same ones year after year?
Flip
Dress overalls 😆" I would look like I really homeschool" 🤣🤣🤣 too real
What day of the week are your subscriptions going out?
I trialed 25 and all got stressed.. half became mutated. I picked too and they drooped.. too fussy for me in WNY weather.
Thank you for clarifying you moved the design up on the shirt. That was bugging me 😅
The banter is fine but please let eric finish his sentences ❤ what he has to contribute is valuable too ❤ love you guys
I have heard ann' e' mone.
DAVE DOWLING SAID EVERY 7 years for Tulips.
I’m one of the crazy people who say pee-nees! 😅
Lady bug larva and adults love aphids I hear. And yes the greatest damage, get out of the bed. But in a plastic bag and trash.
You are so sweet❤
This channel is a little too a.d.d. for me.
Sorry?

Yikes
You are rude
Wow. They owe us nothing yet give their time each week to help others be successful. All we have to do is watch a video …
Speak for yourself, please. I like the banter.
They are such a great team and they are giving us a window into their reality. Hang in there!
