#301: Top 5 Mistakes, Cool Flowers Edition
These are the top 5 mistakes I see folks making related to Cool Flowers, don't be one of them! 1. Not knowing your first & last frost dates, along with your lowest expected winter temperature 2. Not preparing your garden beds ahead of time 3. Not knowing how each seed prefers to be started (indoors or outside, direct sow vs transplants) 4. Not providing the right environmental conditions seed sprouting and optimal seedling growth (light, temperature, air, and water) 5. Failing to realize that you do NOT have to start all seeds yourself (plugs are an option!) Avoid these common mistakes to save time, money, and most importantly, your sanity!

When you find your planting time sweet spot you will be the envy of all your grower friends, and your customers will think you are nothing short of a miracle worker! As a Southerner, I spent years at the farmers market watching customers love on my sweet peas and tell me why they can't be grown here - Ha! Meanwhile I hear from my northern flower farming friends that they have become driven to find ways to get this plant family in the ground earlier and earlier each year to reap the benefits! Cool Flowers are for everyone. Myth busted, truth unveiled! Enjoy this week's episode for my best Cool Flower tips and recommendations for Southerners and Northerners.

#299: Easy Flower Sales: Spring vs. Summer

#299: Easy Flower Sales: Spring vs. Summer
Stepping away and looking at the big picture, it is easy to see why and how we have been skipping over spring crops. Some of us go to extremes to get warm plants blooming sooner than they should be and others are still planting this family way too late to reap the rewards that well-established plants give. Warm-season plants are familiar, which makes them seem easier to grow. I want to fast forward to where this journey of embracing seasonality with cool-season hardy annuals can lead. This is a trend that I have seen over and over, and I think it is so smart. My first experience with flower farmers making a clear decision to move away from offering summer crops and focusing on spring and or fall crops was with good friends Megan and Jonathan Leiss of Spring Forth Farm in North Carolina. I met them before their babies came, and I watched as they started a family, lived the homesteading life, and grew cut flowers as a piece of their family life, not allowing it to consume them. They developed their model as an early to late spring offering flower farm. Now we're seeing more and more flower farmers realizing they can maintain control as they grow their businesses, molding them into a more manageable part of their life. I had the honor of visiting one of my student's farms a couple of years ago. She came to the rescue of furnishing some flower crops for a photo shoot for my newest book, The Cut Flower Handbook. I knew I wanted to revisit her farm with the team to learn and film about how she got into flower farming and where her journey is headed. I was thrilled to hear her story of creating a more manageable flower farming business. Our visit with Emma will be released as a Field & Garden podcast episode later this season.

#298: Why Grow Annuals?

#298: Why Grow Annuals?
Why Grow Annuals? I stumbled into growing annuals. I initially began planting perennials but I quickly saw the errors of my way-- I was going to run out of space, QUICK! As my business was gaining more demand than flowers I had-- I became a little crazy figuring out how to make the most of my total property of 1.17 acres that also had my home and outbuildings. I already had a nice stand of hydrangeas in our landscape and thought-- bingo, use it all. But then I needed a consistent supply-- I didn't see it yet but annual plants were knocking down my door. Then I got it! To maximize my space and to have a consistent supply I needed annuals. What I discovered along that journey is that annuals are the perfect fit for the small-space flower farmer. It's the recommended way all farmers get started to learn how to farm, maintain, seed start, harvest, and find customers: Low investment, Max production small space, Constant ability to change up-colors & varieties, The annual system has been so misrepresented A little-known reality of the "Annual Farmer" is that this style of farming can become an asset to your home. I could literally stop farming any day, plant trees or grass, and call it a life well lived.
