    I'm just cutting flowers for me and my post office, the PO is 2 doors down and I've been told the customers really enjoy them. All your research being shared is greatly appreciated, by me, I'm sure plenty of other everyday gardeners as well.

    I love your Videos and your blooms are fantastic. Your presentation of your buckets of flowers are so well chosen. I think it’s incredible how you put them together. I saw your Pig wandering around which was so cute. You work so hard and make good use of your day. Where you live looks beautiful. My only criticism is that you say ‘em’ far too much. You don’t need it. I think your great and will buy you a Coffee very soon.

    I appreciate your breakdown on these aspects of snipping the blooms & showing how well your flowers do without a cooler of some sort, an insulated building is working well and I see that as far more applicable for most. New subscriber, I am grateful for your efforts to educate and inspire!

    • @gr8gardn
      @gr8gardn 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I rarely add any “flower food” to the conditioning or vase water. But I recently learned that after cutting, all of the unopened snapdragon buds will be white when they open in water with no food. They need food to produce their color. When I paid attention, I saw it is true 😮. Now I add food to the water.

    Thank you so much for this information. It is incredibly helpful. When to harvest is probably the most intimidating part of flower farming, because it can make such a difference. I feel a little less intimidated now. :) I also appreciate the vinegar/lemon juice and sugar tip, as I also am hesitant about the additives in conventional products. Thank you for making these kinds of videos to demystify the process for us newbies to flower farming.

I'm in summery South Africa and despite how hot it is at the moment, I'm going to find a cool spot in the garage overnight to put my cut flowers and hope they last a bit longer.

So helpful to know at c what stage I need to cut my flowers too. I think I cut my achilleas too early. Can you please advise when I should cut astrantia and similar flowers also Leucanthemum? Happy gardening 🙂

    Greetings from Australia! 🌴This is such an informative video, and is so far the best video I have seen explaining harvesting and conditioning. Thank you so much. Does putting an aspirin, or half a one, increase vase life? Does it act as a PH reducer or would you still need to add vinegar?🌻🌹

    Lots of interesting info, thank you! On using as an additive to feed the flowers, do you just pop sugar into the cool water when you change it? Does it need to dissolve in any way? Any idea on how much to add? I've a million question as I'd never heard of sugar as plant food - makes sense though.
