If the world’s entire population worked this hard, oh!!! What could be accomplished?
People do not know what they are capable of. Same to me, I did spend more years just being afraid that project can fail and this stop me even to start. Now after reading all good comments it seems it was success :). Thank you
Paradise!
No hace falta leer los comentarios...contemplando ese lugar no queda dudas. Es todo para venta a viveros? O uds ya tienen su propio vivero?
Right!?!
The commies wouldn't work, they'd want the rewards for hard work.
Apart from that observation, what a fantastic garden, well done 👏
You may want to look up no dig gardening. You have a lot of effort here. But effort isn't always the path in gardening. Knowelege sometimes yields. Very very well.
Wow!! Serious goals right here!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful process and transformation ✌🏽🌈🌼
My father was a wholesale florist in San Diego County, California. All too familiar with the hard work.❤️💐
:)
So much labor for one woman - It's unbelievable! and inspiring. Please film the episodes of harvesting and arranging a bouquet for the next season, It's so meditative.
Thank you, I will :)
This is soooo amazing to see! So many seedlings, so much construction and the end result is phenomenal. It's hard to believe that most of this work was one woman. Superwoman!! I'm starting a small flower farm this year and it will be much smaller than yours. But you have given me hope that I can also be successful with mine. Please share the names of the flowers that you grew. I recognized many of them but some were new to me and soooooo beautiful! Thank you for sharing this amazing adventure. Blessings!
Thank you for inspiring comment!
Not all of flowers was profitable, therefore this year will be a bit different as 2022.
Main flowers was: Sweet Peas, Zinnia, Sunflowers, Marry Golds, Snap Dragons, Limonium Statice, Straw Flowers, Celosia, Larkspur, Salvia, Nigella, Aster, Cosmo, Amaranthus, Dahlias, Basil, Phlox, perennials as Yarrow, Eringo Ritro etc.
This year I plan to seed less flower varieties, but I suggest that in first year you seed more and then analyze for next years.
Good luck with your flower farm :)
@@LazyCrazyCows Thank you for your response. I have all of the flowers you listed ready to start seeds except Eringo Ritro. I will look that one up. Thanks you for the well wishes on my flower farm. It is a huge undertaking but I love love love growing beautiful things! After watching your video I have hopes that I can do it too......please make more videos as you progress with the flowers and the house. It is stunning to watch you create and renew! THANK YOU!!
boy what a worker!!!
Hello, with watering cans, manually..... :)
Except sweet peas, there I add system. I will explain everything in videos summer 2023
Gostaria ser sua vizinha para roubar todos os dia umas flores para minha casa 😅
;-)
I’m impressed that you dug those post holes with the hand tool and did the greenhouse foundation by yourself. Not easy!
Thank you for good words :)
Gracious, what an incredible achievement!!
I have been 'flower farming' for five seasons, now, and your field is at least 10x the size of mine.
You may consider yourself a hobbyist, but you've taken on a serious, large-scale business venture. It must have cost a fortune to set up... I think I spent about 200NZD on my flower farm the first year, including seeds from a dollar store, borrowed tooling, a bare minimum of cheap and nasty compost, and twine and bamboo for plant support ;)
With five young children to look after, I get about 2 hours each week to work in the garden during daylight hours, and I harvest and weed at night after putting the kids to bed, with a head torch to see by.
I like to dream about up-scaling some day....but I think my limit would be 1/4 acre - 1/2 acre. It's incredible how many flowers can come out of a small space managed well.
You are an inspiration :)
Thank you for sharing your story :)
Your garden is your 5 children!
@@LazyCrazyCows That's a nice way of thinking of children and families! Raising children can be very fulfilling, although not in the same way as pursuing your other passions ;)
Jaime, I wish you energy and peace and success. You will make it.
Kids will grow up at some point and you will have your garden.
@@svetlanapil8089 Thanks, I appreciate the reminder and encouragement :)
Wow! It is like her heart exploded to share with the world…
Wow.very impressive.did you grow flowers to sell or just for hobby and beautiful view.its a huge field.i can imagine the works you did.but its worth..new fallower here in On 🇨🇦
I am growing for selling, but have difficulties to manage time between gardening and finding customers. In this summer I hope to manage better :)
Amazing! You should plant more perennials to make it easier on yourself in the coming years. I see Achillea, but you need more.
I agree, that's the plan :)
@@LazyCrazyCows Take a look at Lychnis chalcedonica, Eryngium, Echinops, Rudbeckia Goldsturm, Shasta daisy Crazy Daisy, Monarda, Veronicastrum. All excellent perennials for cut flower you can grow from seed.
Best "flower farming over the course of the year" video I have seen to date!
Thank you :), this inspires me a lot.
Wow, talk about " go big or go home". That's impressive and inspiring. My favorites were the snaps and sweet peas. Just gorgeous 😍 I'm planting 23 different varieties of sweet peas this year. Oh, I can't wait for spring. You really should be very proud of yourself. That's beyond hard work and determination. Well done! Thank you for sharing. I'm going to spread the news. Where are you located exactly? Hope to see what you plan for 2023. The first year is getting to know what not to plant again and what you want to plant more of. Made my heart happy to see this inspiration today.🥰
Thank you for inspiring comment, thank you so much :)
Location is Latvia, Saldus region, Zvārde.
This video brought me to tears. The beauty and love bubbling out of the field. It's moving. Thank you ❤️
You are certainly not lazy I am so impressed!!!! Looking forward to be following you. How big is the field? I am looking forward to do this next year, I am getting ready.
Hello, thank you for nice comment :)
0,3hectars, and it is clear that this is limit what one person can do. At least this was my feeling when I was on field.
How impressive ! Your energy is inspirational. It's lovely to see that your beautiful flower field also benefitted so much wildlife. I love the shape of your greenhouse :)
I am so amazed. How much hard work you did and what an amazing payoff! I'm sure the video doesn't do it justice and it is even more breathtaking to see standing there in person! You inspire me to reach higher and grow more. If you don't have a flower business of some kind you certainly should..☺️
Thank you so much! :)
Holy smokes! Did you sell these or did you have another purpose for these beautiful flowers?
As far as this was just an experimental year and hobby level, for first year selling only in local market. Also dried some flowers and now creating small shop in Etsy. This is all new and fresh and do not know how things will develop in next couple of years. Will create more video's for 2023 with how it goes :)
@@LazyCrazyCows If you really get into it, weddings are a great market to target. They are seasonal and people generally want different flowers throughout the year that you can target.
I have been completely blown away by this video! Totally awesome! I have been growing cut flowers for a short time and I cannot believe the volume of flowers grown here! Wishing you every success in your flower business in the future!
Thank you so much for inspiring comment :)
Wow this is awesome. Talk about dedication and determination. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful! It makes me so happy to see it. I'm in my early 30s and finally learning the lesson that big things are done with lots of time. Cheers!
Is it just the 2 of you working on this flower farm...thats nuts !!! I want you to list the vitamins you take here in the response comments please
Afraid to think what would happen if start to take some vitamins. Maybe this should try in summer 2023 :D
You are amazing!
Amazing contant❤, I noticed you didn't put any landscape fabric down on your rows. How do you manage the weeds?😅 Also, it looked like you had some rows with irrigation lines and others didn't have any. How do you water those without irrigation line? 🤔
Wow!!! Milzīgs prieks bija par šo video. Skaisti un jaudīgi ! Vai ir iespēja apciemot jūsu ziedu fermu šovasar? Lai jums izdodas viss iecerētais!
Paldies Jums!
Esmu Saldus novadā, protams, droši varēsiet apciemot pilnziedā.
Wow, that greenhouse is amazing. Can I buy one of these and get it here in Germany?
Everything is possible :)
Just beautiful! . Hello from Madagascar, it's my dream to have flower farm one day
could you please tell me what is the band/title of the second song played?
Beautiful flowers!!! and an even more beautiful and amazing woman!
Wow. What love in return. What zone is your garden in
Hello, garden is in zone 6
What you have done is amazing!!! Such a wonderful example of the human spirit and determination. Watching this made me cry!!! Way to go!!!
Thank you for inspiring comment, thank you so much :)
Impressive farming! I am wondering if wood chips in between rows can prevent weeds from growing (or would that change the ph of the soil). Just an idea that I saw from Richard Perkins YT.
Hello. At the moment soil PH is already high, this is why I found the best was weeding. I only weeded 2 times, as soon as plants are big enough, weeds do not want to grow. This summer I plan to do the same way. Just need to weed in really beginning. :)
My new favourite channel - well done x beauty created by dreams and hard work ❤
Lisa Mason Ziegler, eat your heart out!
Damned leggy seedlings-got get the light worked out
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing
Where is farm located?
In small Latvia
So amazing! I almost gave up in my first year of just planting flowers in my front yard😅. You just made me look like a wimp🫣. Definitely putting what strength I have left in this little body,to make it through this year.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫶🏾
Go for it! And please share some picture when flowers are blooming :). Good luck!
Oh I went for it and for my first time. They came out BEAUTIFUL! I do have pictures. This year I know more so I'm doing more.
I am thinking of doing this on five acres.
Go for it! Good luck :)
Great job, you both worked really hard. Hope it was successful for you.
This is beautiful! Your work drive is amazing! May I ask what flower is shown at 10:00 please?
Hello from Latvia :). At 10:00 you can see salvia horminium.
The Poster Child for ADHD.
Wow You’ve inspired me can you list the flowers that you grew I would like to try and grow something similar but on a much smaller scale thank you😢
Hello, snapdragons, statice limonium, zinnias, sunflowers are the bests :)
Very INSPIRING video, right when i need it! Thank you, snd. Well done, I say - we'll done! 😎
Glad you enjoyed it! Your comment inspired us :). Thank you!
Wow! I hope you plan to make more videos! Very imressive indeed!Just planting alone is impressive, and then keeping up with the weeding, harvesting, etc. I hope it was more than just one person doing this!
Thank you, I will, specially after reading those nice comments :). Plan is to make shorter videos and share in process. This was one person work, with some help from family in critical weeding moment.
I'm inspired to move to Latvia now. Many ofmy fellow Americans have a different concept of hard work. But I much prefer yours!
Not many Latvians work in this way. Flower field is huge discipline. You make flowers and flowers make your personality. :)
Congratulations on your work, an inspiration. 💙💛
とても素敵 今年はどんな風になっているのか楽しみです
Shower the people you love with love and flowers.
Ok....and this is called Hobby Farming ?????
Hmmm, this we thought so far :)
Right! Did it say she was a teacher also?!
@@jessicabaldwin8350 Yes, indeed :). Teacher in 2 schools. Teach art and psychology already by 29 years.
WOW. I don’t know how you find time to do both.
I loved it!! Soo much life and hard work done well!! Next year I'd loved it if you guys talked and rambled so we can hear to!! Laughing is good to I love to hear you as your working hard!! At all moments good and bad!
Will try to do our best in summer 2023, did not expected for such an interest. Thank you :)
Omg this is so amazing. It made me very emotional😭 Does anyone know if she went to school for this or is she self taught?
Hello :)
No education in agricultures. Lot of reading and getting information from internet and books. Thank you for your comment :)
@@LazyCrazyCows Omg that is amazing. I recently got a plant care job and I want to get into it more! I’ve always loved plants! Thank you❤️
Your dedication is amazing! Stunning flower garden ⚘
Thank you so much 😊
Yeah!!!!! Way to do it yourself!!!! Must feel extra special to have accomplished that project!
Oh this is just gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing! I'm so inspired to find space for flowers now!
It's Amazing very Beautiful Flowers ❤❤❤❤❤❤super
Chào tất cả mọi người ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What was the most expensive equipment that you had to purchase in order for you flower farm to be successful?
Hello.
My own work was most expensive, then it was seeds, Greenhouse and fence. Without those 4 elements project would not succeed.
WOW! looks beautiful. ! I have a big garden too. Only for me. But I left grass between the Rows . I just go with the push mower . nice and ready. 🙏
I was just thinking about doing that! 😊 I have been loving flowers more and more. Always giving away bouquets to friends and family in the summer. 😅 Absolutely Amazing what you have done in one year 🎉
Just go ahead with your dream. And maybe already summer 2023 you can share some picture :). Will love to see this
This is soooo right... We all need a good reason to get out of bed every day!... Wonderful job!! 💕🍀🍻
Please keep showing more. I just found you. Would love to see more of your flowers. You have amazing peace of property.
Talk about SUCCESS 🙌
😊 inspirational
Wow this is absolutely amazing. You have inspired me to get started on my cut flower farm. Lots of love and admiration from South Africa🇿🇦
Thank you so much :)
Your love of flower growing shows.
I’m going crazy trying to figure out what that last song was!!!
I was sure wishing someone would help you dig those holes for the fence and greenhouse
Where u at....and what zone..ive been bragging about u to the family..makes my efforts look pitifull at best..but then im pushing 80 and get.tired easily..have to nap in the after noon or i pay for it for days..and luckily the doc gives me muscle relaxers..last summer nearly did me in with the drought...
Hello, I am in small Latvia, zone 6. Thank you for watching video and telling your story. I am sure you are also growing beautiful flowers for your own and family joy in your respectable age. And thank you again for watching :). This summer will come with more detailed videos for each processes, hope you will like those either.
Watching from PH, from what country are you at?
Ohhh, so great :)
I am from small Latvia.
Who bought all your flowers?
I was giving in local market. We have a small community, without chance to sell all of them. One small flower shop was really exciting and take all what I can cut every second day, this shop was filled with my flowers. Then I go to market by myself once per 2 weeks.
Thank for sharing your journey! If you don't mind sharing , what material did you use for your fencing? I love it!
That music made me cry like a baby. It was awesome. XxX
Lovely!
What a wonderful, strong, powerful woman you are. You did all this, doing what women do, preserving civilization through the work of caring for vulnerable, growing things. I know how tired you must be sometimes, and I would gladly give you a cup of tea and a cinnamon bun while you put your feet up. Thank you for everything you do. All the positive, life-affirming work women do. 🇨🇦
That's also my dream....but I know how much extremely hard work it would take....
I see an American flag, was that planned? It's so beautiful!
It was not planned like that at all. You have a good eye :). Great comment!
I may have missed it but how did you water all these flowers?
I have problems dealing wirh six seed trays 😩
Me enamore 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 es para venta a viveros? O tienen su propio vivero? Con solo ver este primer video ya me suscribi.
Thank you for subscribing after seeing only one video :-)
Impressive!!
Šis ir WOW 🎉👌 Man arī pērn bija eksperimentālais gads, bet ar KRIETNI mazākiem apjomiem 🙈 Tāds darbs - no Jums tikai iedvesmoties! Ja nav noslēpums, kurā Latvijas pusē darbojaties? 😊
Sveika,
Paldies par komentāru, ļoti priecājos un pozitīvi uzlādējos no tā. Darbojos Saldus pusē. Droši, ja kādreiz braucat cauri, varat pieteikties, izrādīšu Jums savu puķu saimniecību. Patreiz tas patiešām ir hobija līmenis, paralēli pilnas slodzes darbam skolā.
Lai Jums izdodās, turpiniet darboties, galvenais noticēt saviem spēkiem un spert to plato soli uz priekšu :)
This is my dream. I love flowers and growing things. This is beautiful and I can see all the hard work you put in because your flowers are thriving well
Thank you so much :)
I really like the greenhouse design
You are AMAZING!! Bravo!!! Beautiful work with beautiful rewards! Keep us updated, I'd love to see your success 🙌🏻
Thank you so much! :)
Love this video and the music!
I'm so happy for you! It's beautiful! All your hard work is very inspiring!
Thank you so much!
I’m impressed! How did you keep your rows free of weeds and grass? Did you use a rototiller or apply something? Thanks!
Hello, I am weeding with hoe, 100% with hands and hoe, but the thing is that I am weeding when weeds are still small, then it is really fast and as soon as flowers are longer and stronger, weeds stay in shadow and do not have enough power to grow. I am weeding 2 times per season, just need to catch right timing. :)
@@LazyCrazyCows Thank you so much for your answer. Weeding is a big job and like you say, you need to keep ahead. But we can do so much without big expensive machinery. You’re proof of that! Lovely to see.
What a brilliant way to build a greenhouse from Wood!
6:38
Vietnamese countryside has a unique beauty unmatched anywhere else. 💖
Very very impressive. Lots of hard work. Can dry all the leftovers and sell as dry flower arrangements in winter.
Thank you for your comment :)
I try to sell also dry flowers, but in Latvia those are not popular at all, people always suggest fresh. Hope this flower taste will change in next years. But this is good advice. :)
Amazingly organized!
Thank you! 😊
You guys are living my dream life,anyways you're doing a great job despite the great and magnificent result I believe you had faced many difficulty❤
Lazy, crazy? Maybe the latter, but also questionable. Hardworking and absolutely sane.
wow, amazing😍
Dying with envy 😂😢 so impressive
Great Inspiration to chase our dreams.
This is incredible 💓
Absolutely impressive and beautiful outcome of a yeoman's effort to create this garden. The vision you had and the effort it took to create it are just amazing and you should be proud of what you have accomplished. Blessings on your efforts for 2023!
Thank you so much!!! :-)
This is gorgeous and such an inspiration! Amazing work and such a beautiful end result. ♥️
Thank you so much! :)
