I’ve had people buy off my dads veg and plant stall at home and resell for much more because dad had them under priced

I grew Campanula and Orlaya for the first time this year with plugs purchased from Farmer Bailey. It was part of our first ever inaugural crop in our brand new unheated tunnels. First of all I am zone 7 in the Western NC mountains of NC. I will never grow orlaya in the field again - it was my most amazing crop ever. Campanula was another winner. These two crops helped fill out our mixed bouquets during the so called "Spike season" where it's hard to find filler so you don't have to add 20 snap stems to make a bouquet.

Zone rant needed more often than you'd think.

Very helpful and informative! Thank you for recording it so everyone that couldn't make the live session can still enjoy the benefit of you and your team's knowledge!

Love the curtains! Source?

I would like a few hundred of each color!!! Beautiful

This is my first yr flower farming. I love the markets! The only thing I find aggravating is the putting up and tearing down. Especially being by myself. I've definitely made mistakes this year. Grew to many fillers and flowers with a not so great vase life. It's disappointing I spent 1,000's dollars and don't like half of what I'm growing. That being said I'm definitely going to concentrate on focals next yr. Pricing is hard for me, I really need to nail it down. My biggest concern is the heat & humidity. I'm zone 9a and I'm not sure how great the bouquets are going to hold up at markets. The good news is there aren't many flower farmers in my area & the ones that are here are only growing for wholesale. Fingers crossed next yr will be better and I'll have more of the kinks worked out.

Holy moly

Thanks for posting these zoom presentations here! Wish I could make it to the live ones too. Great info!! 😊

This video was incredibly valuable to me. Thank you, all!!

Can you put flowers in an ice chest with icey water? Standing stem up

Love this!

shanti is not kidding when she says there's a lot of politics going on at the markets...

This was a wonderful education/webinar. Thank you so much for expanding on the 1st webinar. I would love to see some of your booth setups over the years and how you changed things up to keep your booth fresh and exciting for your customers. I think your changes and pictures would be so very helpful. Thank you Bailey, Thomas and Felicia

I’m blown away by your candor and generosity. I’m cleaning but I’m home alone and like to listen to things. This came up and I thought “oh I’m not there yet, not for me,” and then I thought I bet I will learn something. So glad I did listen. I’m only in baby stage trying to figure out what will grow here etc. I think people can miss it’s a social thing. A psychological thing. Being nice to people. Caring. Wanting to sincerely make their day a little brighter. I’m a people person. I get it. Thanks again

Do farmer's markets allow multiple farms at one booth? I just had a thought during this video that farmers could do what moms do for carpool and switch off every other week and sell for both farms at the same booth 🤔

Thankyou for the info!

I love Lennie's book! I'm so glad I found it just as I'm beginning my flower business journey.

I got here to this video from the Farmer Bailey email. What a fantastic resource! Thank you for sharing. So neat to hear about the breeding efforts in Japan and all the different varieties. This is the first season I'm growing lisianthus, and I started some from seed (got good, consistent germination but they have stayed quite small) and bought some plugs (they are ready to transplant this weekend). I'm going to try planting some in my high tunnel and some in the field. I'll also try removing some of the first buds and see how that goes. Basically, I'm treating this as a learning season, trying different things, taking notes, and hoping that I'll have some Group 3 still flowering in time for my early fall backyard wedding.

I love love this. I'm definitely adding cutting mum to my urban farm for weddings and Thanksgiving..

I started some scabiosa in seed trays and they are like a apricot variety but seem To be struggling in seed trays I think I’m ready to transplant outside and just see how they do. It’s just going to be survival of the fittest for these guys

Outstanding

❤ I love it

This is by FAR some of THE BEST, most comprehensive and detailed information I have found on farmer-florist weddings. Thank you so much! Love your content and plugs, keep it coming Farmer Bailey and Team!

What an amazing presentation! Excellent guests!

I have eight flats of Farmer Bailey plugs planted so far this spring. Thanks ! West coast plugs are nice !

I grow Lisanthus from seed every year VERY successfully. Lisianthus is a GREAT teacher! It will not tolerate haphazard care for very long. If you can grow Lisianthus, you can grow almost anything your climate will grow. MASTER lisanthus and you have GOT IT!

This was super helpful, thank you!!!

Loved the video, so much information! This is my second year trying to grow them from seed. Presently getting plugs is not in the budget so growing information for me is key. Thank you.

I have another question? I need your help in determining where to plant my lizzys on my new land. As you probably know this area often experiences summer heat over triple digits. My other cut flowers handled the heat fairly well last year with irrigation. But I didn’t attempt lisianthus last year. I do have a shaded area that is on my flood plane. Or if I choose a sunny location then I thought I could give them a low tunnel with a shade cloth.

Hi! I am happy to find your channel. This is my first year of flower farming. I bought land near my hometown of Blossom, northeast Texas and I’ve placed several orders from you! (I spent sometime last year growing cut flowers in my back yard. But I’m eager to learn from you! Which hardiness growing zone do you live in now?

Great video. I’ve ordered lisianthus and other plugs from you for three years now with this seasons showing up this March in North Carolina. It’s a great service. I still try to grow from seed but it almost always goes horribly.

Super grateful for all the awesome content you guys are putting out over here on KZbin! ❤

I admire how she solved the problem herself

Hi....from New Zealand

Small market grower..always Voyage/Roseann brown. I don't get really tall stems out in my small field. But, they do fine for my bouquets in re-cycled glass containers or jars. Thx. for great info.!!

Thank you for this. I learned so much.

What a wonderful, educational video! I always have take aways to try:) Thank you♡

Love that you shared the origins of the plant! I learn a lot from start to finish information like that.

Am I to late to purchase plugs this year? I need some rosanne brown! Purple ones too!

Thank you for sharing ❤your passion❤🤴🤴🌸🌺💐🌷🌹🥀🌻🌼🌸🌺

Absolutely great video.

Thank you! This presentation was amazing

Thanks for all that you share! I am a home gardener (for now) and appreciate your videos. I also very much enjoyed your Instagram lives. I am trying Lisianthus from seed for the first time and wow. Plugs are the way to go! Haha. 💚 Thanks again!

One more question of triple digits during our summers. Should I cover them with shade cloth?

This is my first year! I order 3 types and need any help to understand how to care for them! Wondering if I need a low tunnel. I'm in zone 8 and delivery on May 6th

I grow from plugs

Glad that I made it over to you tube!

I think I have unfavorable growing conditions for seedling in my home. Living in the north US. This is my first time growing Lisian's as I refer to them😊 Only time will tell. Thanks again for all your help! God bless.

Thank you for taking the time and all the information :)
