Would love to hear from you !
Leave us a comment and a like !
I watch soooo many TH-cam videos and this is the way a video should be. Totally relevant, got to the point, TAUGHT ME SOMETHING VALUABLE. Thank you. Awesome.
Hey flower guy. I have been looking at techniques in the cut flower world for about 3 years and nobody has ever explained about removing side shoots to produce longer, straighter stems. I owe you for that my friend! High five from London, England!🤚🏼
That’s what it’s all about! I appreciate it. I’m so glad I’m able to help. Make sure you’re sharing me over that way ha ha
I've also watched many, many dahlia videos and this one is one of the best. Straightforward & very relevant information. Great advice. Thanks!
I would love info on how far apart you plant new tubers and start up a dahlia flower bed in hopes of selling cut flowers ❤️
I will be doing a live this week! Would love to go into detail. We go 16 in apart.
Really great video!!! You stuck to the point and I learned a lot. Can't wait to apply it to my dalhias in spring 2022!
Thanks so much
I would LOVE a video soon on how you set up your basement for flower production in the winter with the grow lights! And your watering schedule for the dahlias in pots, fertilizer, lights, etc!!!!!!!! I’m dying to do this this winter!
We are going to be setting up in the near future. I will try to go into detail about this. Also, we will have a LIVE broadcasting Tuesday night
Your dahlias are gorgeous! 🥰 Thanks for taking the time to show us how you grow and prune them.
Thank you ! I appreciate it.
You and Mark's Garden Life are two of my new fav channels. Thank you so much for showing us these tips. My hope is to 'crank up' my dahlia game next season. I don't sell cut flowers; I just love my flower gardens. Hoping to make bouquets for friends and family - just to brighten someone's day. That and I raise honey bees so I plant lots of flowers; especially zinnia, Mexican sunflower, sunflowers.
I like the idea you have. I’m glad I can be a help.
Great information. Thank you Flower Guy!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it !
Please share if you can !
Thank for all tips.
Thank you for so much detailed info 😊👍
I thank you for this info! It was gooooooood!
Great info -- well communicated and well demonstrated
Brilliant tips. I got a lot of work to do.
So awesome. Thank you for this video. I got here by way of the Facebook group Dahlia growers!
Very good, you stayed on subject and gave information where it could be understood. Could hear the enthusiasm in your voice. Next take a breath every now and then and slow down a little. lol Maybe think of it like you were explaining it to your wife or daughter. Don't rush through you got to have the watch hours too. Getting better each time I know that you are onto a good thing with this channel so keep on keeping on! :)
Thank you Belinda!
Appreciate the guidelines and information you have given. I've learnt so much from you. I'm a novice Dahlia lover and reside in Western India.
So nice of you! I thank you! I will be speaking in Missouri this year. That is some what close to you !
Nice vids. Thank you so much.
Great video! Learned bunches! Your plants look happy and healthy.
Hey, thanks so much. I really appreciate it. It takes a lot of time and effort ! Even on the days when you don’t want to! Right? Haha
Hi from Germany and thank you for the great information.
Thank you so much! Southwest Virginia here too!
Wow, love the information, this is very helpful! Thank you! I haven’t seen any video go over dahlias like this, thank you again! Hugs and love from Texas!
I try to make it as if no one has never seen them before haha.
you do something most youtubers fail to do. You identify your zone & state at the beginning of the video. This is very helpful. I also enjoy that you state facts vs wasting my time listening to you discuss you dogs, cats, hamsters or children.
I thank you for your support. However, this channel is a mix of all sorts of things of flowers. The entire reason of growing flowers was to bring my family into it. Most videos you may see has some the content you are describing.
I like spirit today u are someone I guess have discover how to relate. The starting was great.love it
Thank you !
I just found your channel from the colab you did with Jess - and since I'm focusing on Dahlias for florists I supply flowers to - SOOOO happy to follow you!!
Thank you so much ! Glad to bring value!
Your awesome!! thanks
Great information!!! You did an awesome job . Would like another video on planting them or did you do one already! Looks like your channel is growing as well as the flowers 🌸!!👏🏻👏🏻
We need to do a video on this. We will planting indoors very soon! Would Like to do a video on this.
Thanks for good information
Thank you for supporting! Please share if you can !
Whoohooo, Flower Guy is back
Yep! Please share and get it going !
Such great information...God bless
Thank you !
Thank you
Wonderful and beautiful garden flower🌸🌻🌷🥰
Thank you
That was great information, thank you. Now I know why all my dinner plate Dahlias fell over and broke. Tons of blooms all in a mess. :(
That’s sad :( sorry to hear that
Boy, you sure dived in big for your first year!
I am in my first year of growing n selling flowers and my plantings were much smaller. I didn’t make much money, trying find the best market is tricky especially when more n more people are doing this.
You are refreshing to watch, listen and learn from. Each video you do, gets better n better. You are on topic without a lot of chitchat that has nothing to do with the topic.
Would love to see a video on how you battle bugs.
Thank you Flower Guy.
Thanks Donna! I appreciate it. Yes, the market is the hardest!
I heard VA and 7b and i subbed
Very good info. I so wish I would have seen this last year, better late than never. Most of mine are just now budding up.
Glad it was helpful!
This is a great video with a ton of really helpful information. Thanks for sharing! This is only my 3rd year growing dahlias and staking has been a huge challenge for me. Can I ask how wide each row is?…. like, how much space is in between your lines of string where the dahlia grow? How much space do you allow for your walking path?
On breaking off the side shoots, is that necessary for the dahlias in my flower bed. Using your method of holding them up. Thanks for any answers
Hey, Sam. It is not necessary to do so. Breaking the side shoes is for a couple of reasons though. One reason would be for propagation. The second reason would be that my particular buyers do not like side shoots beside the bloom. We have to go through and take them all off.
I like your channel. I'm in Virginia so I think same zone 7 right. Im in purcellville virginia. I started growing dahlias this year 2021. Beautiful flowers 😍!
Hopefully, we are able to help with how we do it.
Yes please. I don't know anything about starting seeds or bulbs. I'm blind on this 🙈
At what point in growing do you put up your posts and tomato strings?
Nice video. Question how do you "hill up" the plants? thanks
we use a hoe to maintain the hills. This past season we used a tractor to hill them up.
nope i just love your channel lol hugsssssssss
I’m so glad !
where do i get the cable lines for support
Hi,
Could I get more information on how you pull the water out of the creek? We also have a creek but is not familiar on how to rig up a system like yours.
For example what kind of pump is that you're using? And what kind of pre-filter do you use at the hose base to filter out silt?
And how do you power that pump? Do you have it automated where it turns on by itself like a timer you manually turn it on?
Possible to email you for some of those information like pump model and etc?
Great video! How far apart do you space your dahlias? One dahlia plant maybe every 18" per row? Or two rows of dahlias staggered in maybe a 3' bed?
Single rows 16” apart. 5 foot from center to center
Hey Flower Guy! Where did you go?? Let me know you are all ok please? Best wishes.
when you say they need be watered 1 inch a week I do not understand, could you please explain how many liters per row or plant do you need?
I turn on for 30 minutes at a time.
@@WindyBrookRidgeHomestead thank you for replying, that means you water dahlias 30 minutes/week with drip irrigation zone 7B to have those wonderful flowers, isn´t it?
Oh man. I’m so confused. I’m growing my first batch this year from tubers. They are coming in different sizes. One is only a couple of inches tall and the biggest one is about 16 inches tall. There are so many leaves on the bigger ones I don’t know if I should cut any of them back. They haven’t bought it yet.
I’m in South Carolina zone 7a
I haven’t staked them out because they’re not tall enough and I don’t really want to have those big T steaks in my yard because I don’t think they’re very pretty. I’m going to keep watching your video over and over until I understand what I’m supposed to pinch and when
Can you tell me specifically what kind of dahlia that is?
That’s a cafe au lait
One question,,,,, most of my Dahlias fell apart when we dug them up. I didn't see an eye on many of them but kept them just in case. Why would them do that?
I would wait until spring to see if they have eyes
beautiful dahlias....why not 2 blooms on a stem?
You want the king bud to have all of the nutrients. For a larger bloom
Where in SW Virginia are you?
I am in Hillsville, va.
Question how to keep deer away from your flowers ? B.C I have to make a big big fence to keep deer away. They're uncontroll 😡
We keep them away with a organic mixture. The biggest part being fish emulsion
