I think having either Ian or Serena doing the videos solo works very well (avoiding the interrupting and needing to catch each other up if there are distractions). I really enjoy your channel and frequently recommend it to others who want to learn more about flowers. I listen while I do housework. I enjoy learning more about how you are business planning and adapting to your market. My husband and I are also in our 5th year of running a small business and we can relate to so much, though in a different industry. It's nice to hear others talk about the frustrations and breakthroughs that happen. We're rooting for you!
Hi Serena! My question is a 2 part question...SINCE YOU HAVE THE APHID AND GRASSHOPPER ISSUES HAVE YOU CONSIDERED PLANTING TRAP CROPS, OR USING BENIFICIAL INSECTS LIKE MITES AND OR PREYING MANTI? I've found the Swarski Mite(spelling) to be extremely beneficial with aphids, also they don't feed on the plants, just pollen. Also not harmful to bees and other pollinators. Thank you.
Sure sounds like where I’m from…San Diego, California. Only winds were sporadic Santa Ana winds. Limited rainfall and high heat except temperate in winter. Once when it hailed for an hour…school was closed and kids bussed home. Oh my!!! I’m in Vermont now…just a bit different. 😂
Great tip. about bells of ireland germination. Have you thought about getting some help in exchange for a season of flower bouquets? Husband's would get huge appreciation for the gift!! Many thanks
I generally don't spend time seed saving but this year I saved my Dara seed, as it is still unavailable for order. And I have saved honeywort too because it is so prolific in producing seed but the seed is somewhat expensive for me.

I admire your dedication and hard work every year.
2 years ago we had a fire nearby and had to evacuate. I understand.
If small space grow a spring bouquet, a summer bouquet and a fall bouquet recipe. Instead of trying to grow one of everything
Thanks for answering my question Serina!
Excited about upcoming Gladiolus video. Been waiting for a ZINNIAS video

Hi from Tasmania 😊😊😊 watching after a day at work
Double orientals lilies do not have pollen, if you like a scent and they are nice, late bloomers. My favourites😊

A row / hedge of limelight hydrangea is needed on every flower farm in my opinion…
Interesting about the lilies 😊 and profitability.

What seeds are you currently sowing?
So glad the fire stepped ya....

Nicomyth, what are Daras?

Speaking of weeds, what are those tall ones behind you, that are blooming?
I would be selling those cherries at the road side stand
