Change You Can See

[@aitzaacosta7571]

Ian i am happy for you. I still can't believe that you and Serena got divorced. When I saw your first video, I could not believe that you were transitioning. Many questions came to me. I still decided to follow you. Watching this video made me realize some things. Throughout the few years that I have been following You can't eat the grass, I did notice that sometimes you were not heard. When I watched this video I realized that you have been wanting to do so many things and how happy you are now making decisions about this or that. I do remember you did nice bouquets, so I think you are going to be fine. And as a farm, I think is never wrong to have a lot of tools. I am happy that your kids are your priority. I will follow both channels, and I wish you the best.

[@rafaelbarreto2658]

…“Sometimes you were not heard”… it’s an understatement lol I don’t know if you noticed but everything that was good it was because of her and everything it wasn’t Serena blamed her partner! Go back to the videos and check! I appreciate you praising Becca and supporting her!

[@TheresaBowron]

Your positivity is refreshing and the creativity is exciting and inspiring. Happy to leave a positive comment for you and your whole family, best wishes in all your new adventures. The negativity that inevitably gets spewed about unfortunately is a result of sad, sick, and disconnected society, and a very vocal minority. It is a result of who they are, and does not reflect who you are. Stable, secure, and loving people don’t feel the need to destroy others. Your positivity and authenticity works to keep people connected instead. That’s what opening yourself up on KZbin can do. Thank you for being courageous to put that out into existence. You’re not alone. Much love ❤

[@alliyavue7609]

Don't worry about the the negatives, you do you. I'm really glad you're still here and going strong. Best wishes

[@christieharrison9542]

Missed you!!! So happy you’ve got a channel going! You must have read all of our minds!!! The change is a shock at first but really you’re still the same cool person and I’m excited for this season - please don’t quit!!!

[@JulieD4Me]

Your organization/effiency focus is great & hoping to learn what I can apply to my home garden! You are fun & positive - hope you know many here accept & appreciate your sharing and inspiration ❤

[@leeanneg7247]

There will always be haters unfortunately. It’s always been apparent that you are a great dad and always have been. I love your confidence and this channel!! ❤

[@elisiabarber7541]

Glad to hear you’re blocking people. Ain’t nobody got time for that kind of hatred. First of-love the nails, second I love your assembly line idea and sooo glad you decided to stick with KZbin and share your business. I’m sure I’m not the only one that was missing your presence!!. Will watch you both and wish you strength and resilience in this new journey! ❤

[@danacoto6441]

Hey you! I'm so looking forward to seeing you making the flower arrangements! I miss the market videos! Go you! A lot of changes and it sounds like good changes, here to see what's next :D

[@JulieLewin]

Great job with your tidy up and reconfiguration of your workspace. I am so glad you are doing videos again.

[@eco35758]

I’m so glad you added the part at the end about flower arranging and creativity. I wondered how you were going to slip into that place as I always viewed you as the muscle man of the farm and not really the flower person. So I’m happy to hear you have that desire and budding passion to take this on. I feel you are extraordinarily brave coming out as you are. Your children will ultimately benefit from you being true to yourself. When I said I had always just viewed you as the muscle man of the farm I want to say how amazing it is to watch this beautiful feminine side of you emerge. And you still have those amazing muscles to get hard jobs done. I’m very happy for you and look forward to watching you and your flowers bloom! ✌️

[@francineschnereger8246]

I am glad your skin is thick. I loved this video. I think Im going to be a farmer in my next life. I have watched You Can't Eat the Grass, Flower Hill Farm, Simple Living Alaska and others for years. I grow tons of seedlings for our small front yard and am now, at 68 giving and selling seedlings to others. Especially pollinator plants. I enjoyed hearing more about your previous business. Thank you for a great video!

[@wendymilne3871]

Please keep blocking those haters! I do not know anyone who has transitioned and to be at the very beginning of your journey will be educational for me too. I am all the way over in Plymouth England but I wish I could give you a hug right now ❤

[@BestFriendsMusic53]

I've always lived by the words.....LIVE...and LET LIVE! With that said, and I know it's easier said than done...but.....please don't let ANYONE get you down!!!! Live the life that YOU want and don't listen to anyone who thinks you should live a different life because THEY don't like it. I wish you much success on your farm and being who you really are! 🥰

[@deborahilacqua2753]

You go girl, I'm a florist and like everything it's just repetition. You got this, congratulations on putting yourself out there and keep up the good work you're doing on the farm.

[@WillaLoomis]

I just want to say that you have always seemed like an exceptional parent to me. Your children are fortunate to have you and Serina as parents. Also I have to add that you look amazing in this video. What are you doing with your skin?

[@CZDrea]

I’ve been following you guys a long time and I really love that you’re being authentically yourself! We only get to live once and this is our shot at being our best selves. I’m excited to see you shine!!!

[@vickielynn990]

Dream vacation for me. A week at the B&B Red Roof Family Farm! This could be a great thing for all of us who love you and the farm. You personal life is not anyone’s business. You just need to do you and know I love seeing you again. Thank you for taking us along for the journey

[@shanleytulip]

Thank you for being visible, that's more important than you know. I hope that someday everyone will be accepting and let people be themselves. Plus am jealous of your seed starting room.

[@idanoe9286]

I am loving the tidy,efficient workspace! The previous chaos always bothered me. The new seedling room is really coming together now, cant wait to see it full & bursting into life.

[@susiethomas6032]

I agree with you 😊

[@willowand_sage]

Haters gonna hate, keep rising above 💕 Your vision sounds amazing look forward to watch it all come together.Keep that creativity flowing!

[@larissahocevar]

Laying the ground work for all the creative magic. What a nice way to spend the winter. Keep going Becca! #Transisbeautiful

[@PleasantPrickles]

Looks like by the time the flowers are rolling in, you will have a very efficient space to create in. I’m amazed at how big the space looks when it’s organized into dedicated areas!💐

[@annette2824]

Its so nice to see all the changes you do at the farm. It must be very exiting for you. Buying machines and equipment who makes the work easier is such a good investment. To make the work more efficient with a flow is a very good plan. No long walks and stuff were it need to be. That seedlingroom is a dream! I think you are a fantastic person who believes in yourself.

[@karen-hillshomestead]

Becca - looking forward to seeing your vision of the farm come to life!

[@micheleapps7050]

Your one brave person!!!! i was a bit stunned at first lol was'nt expecting your transformation! i look forward to watching you grow and not only flowers xxx you blossom my friend xxx respect to you Becca xxx the only negative is please brush your lovely hair lmbo

[@lindamazur4208]

you said almost exactly what I wanted to say ,LOL I don't want blocked ! I think she will do great but , I was going to say that the meanest thing I could say Please can this family invest some time into brushing their hair . My neurodivergent brain always is distracted with messy hair . LOL

[@maggidull1952]

Ian, although it is hard for me to wrap round in my head your life choice, I truly belief you have to follow what you feel is right for you. That said, I am very excited to view future vlogs. It will be hard to follow in Serina's footsteps in regards to flower arranging , as she is very creative, but you have been a good observer for so many years. You do have that advantage, along with your own creativity, and I am sure you will be cranking out beautiful bouquets this coming season. Best wishes for a successful year!

[@lindseykayesgarden]

I never comment on videos, but yours incited enough of a reaction that I will. Keep up the good work and positive attitude even if it’s hard at first. What you are doing will be an inspiration to someone, with your life, with your family, with your work- in someway you will affect others positively. You don’t have to be an expert on flowers if you are passionate about what you do and sell what you love that is the best place to start. Keep up the videos I have enjoyed them so far good luck in the future on the flower farm!

[@lindamazur4208]

you should comment more , it shows activity on the channel and that gets them pushed out to more people 😉🥰

[@bettyreed2469]

Great to hear from you, I’ve been a fan from the beginning! I know you’ll succeed. A little advice - you don’t need so many types of flowers to make bouquets. Stick with a few reliable ones, zinnias, statice, rudbeckia, sunflowers, etc. Keep a calendar- when to start each variety of seeds, succession planting, fertilizing. You’re on the right track with efficiency and I look forward to watching your journey. Blooms by Betty

[@christieharrison9542]

Naw the peonies and Austin roses blow that generic stuff out of the water. Ian/becca always had great taste in flowers.

[@katieangelli561]

Can’t wait to follow along this journey with you transforming yourself and the farm.

[@priscillaschmidt1937]

I am so excited Ian about your changes to the farm…absolutely ❤️ it….this 74 yr old can’t wait to see these changes to the farm….u are one who loves order to everything…..u have my attention….can’t wait to c what 2025 brings…I know it’s going to be Awsome…thank you for choosing roses…and I hope you’ve seen WINDFALL FLOWERS from Kamloops…her pastel zinnia seed look Awsome too…wishing u the best in this new year.♥️

[@nsauve7000]

Looking forward to following your journey Becca. I am excited about using more perennials. Also looking forward to more videos like this one - the mechanics behind a flower farm, not just the flower arrangements. Good luck, I believe you will land on your feet.

[@kelleyspiller5330]

Love the organization, excited to see some bouquet making videos and the overall fresh start to your beautiful farm

[@alisonreid9886]

Great to hear your exciting updates. Thank you for sharing them.

[@chaivdesign]

Hi Becca. I'm so happy we live in a time where you feel comfortable being open about who you really are. Ignore the negative comments-your kids will be just fine. Life is not all rainbows and kittens and they will grow up to be the kind, compassionate adults we need more of in this world.

[@Red_Roof_Flower_Farm]

Thanks for the kind words

[@pammcnary2770]

Becca, you are awesome 😎. Ignore/block the haters. Looking forward to seeing the perennial video and being part of your journey!

[@BettyBrancato]

Life is hard: you do what makes you happy. As long as you continue to love and nuture your kids, as you always have, they'll be fine. Love and support from Ohio, USA. Oh- also- congrats on the improvements/changes around the place. Looking good!

[@soffyabad]

Things will be great Ian. Is nice to have so many plans. Good start of the year. About hate comments, well blocking them is the right thing to do. You worked and work very hard, not everyone do the same. That is why they have time to hate.

[@larissahocevar]

They go by Becca now. Agree with your comments!

[@mienkedezoete2146]

I’m cheering for you and looking forward to each new video! I think you’re on the right path and wishing you an amazing season 😊

[@peteginnievota3061]

Negative comments are never necessary, they are said out of fear. No question you are a great dad and creative. Be the best person you can be

[@ketokhuleesi4451]

Good job organizing everything. Efficiency is key to success!

[@kajsa78kajsa]

I wish you and your family all the best.

[@kathit.275]

Just watching the workspace change makes me feel like I can breathe better. How great it must feel for you when you work there. Even Rome wasn't built in a day... every little step is a big step forward. Just don't lose focus and invest too much time in vlogs. 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆❤

[@BlindFaith111]

Your vision on what will sell & won't & how that impacts creativity is so on point & I'm interested to see this evolve, keep moving forwards ❤

[@joysikes4352]

Looking forward to your bouquets! Good luck with the farm!

[@rebeccawatson9284]

❤ you're a great parent! Also, your funny intros were always my favorite on the other channel.

[@peggyhall2763]

You’re inspiring me to continue my dream of my own property for a flower farm. My husband and I bought property for my son to farm and I grow flowers on a small part of it. Problems have arisen - details not necessary. What is clear is how inefficient my flower farm has been. I am a neat and organized person but it is impossible in the space I’ve got. It is also a 35 minute drive, one way. Onward and upwards! 😊😘

[@BarbaraNeugent]

Great changes! I love a good organization video. I’m also revamping my space and this is inspiring and gives me ideas. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing more

[@blommfleuriste]

it's going to be fun to watch you find your style with flowers!

[@GrandmaKsGarden]

Yay! You are making some great progress.

[@lindafishbaugh2754]

Very happy to see you posting frequently! Also glad you are blocking haters and their comments! ‘Ain’t nobody got time for that!’ You know who you are! Your children know that you adore them! It’s been obvious to me watching your channel, that your family has been #1 priority! Trans is beautiful! Proud Momma Bear here!

[@theblacksheepgardener]

I love your vision for the farm. also love the confidence and to see you trusting yourself. it can be hard to do, especially when outside opinions can be so loud and so toxic. keep believing in yourself. your opinion is the one that matters

[@YellinUpAStorm]

Nice that you’re cleaning it up!

[@tarnr5713]

You are at that great stage of having lived with the farm and established processes long enough that the operational efficiency changes are obvious. That is not to say that some of your changes won't work as intended but change itself is a process right? As for the haters - man they annoy the crap out of me! Being true to yourself, showing your kids that you are true to yourself and that you are happy is the best thing you can do for them.

[@paulagoforth6743]

Looking forward to your journey and the flowers we will be seeing!!

[@CathyWalmsley-x3m]

Aw big hugs from New Zealand you and Serena helped get me through lockdown and inspired me to grow and sell flowers. Glad you’re steaming ahead looking forward to all your new ideas and projects

[@baracu]

Dear Becca, I thought about commenting on mean comments but I guess it’s still good for your monetisation. I like your videos …keep them going!! ❤❤

[@barbarawitkowski4110]

[@igneousidol]

This might have been asked before, will you sell at both the farmers market and roadside stand? The new plans for the "out" building sound very efficient...I can't wait to see the seedling room full of green and I love farm tours. Your excitement for your creative ideas and confidence in business management are palpable.

[@norlealagunsay2979]

Im so inspired to have a farm becoz of you can't eat the grass .... especially seeing u and serena together with ur beautiful kids...and it also broke my heart when serena speaks in the vid that the two of you is parting ways...but it is wat it is...its not a part of mine to judge ur decision in lyf...luv u both and ur children❤happy to see the farm and soon markets again🎉

The only thing that matters to the children in anyone’s life is that they are loved, safe, grounded, healthy and happy. It makes no difference to them if you’re a 12’ daffodil with a bow tie or a 3” alligator with a lisp. Be who you are and, in return, they are given the permission to be who they are. 💗💕💗 Toodles!

[@jenniferwolford4646]

What a wonderful way to say it! Totally agree!

[@ginareale5327]

Great job organizing!

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

Having run a successful business on your own AND having had a number of years partaking in and observing flower farming, you have a lot of knowledge to implement into the farm becoming successful and profitable. All that experience is invaluable.

[@person3952]

Sooo much looking forward to seeing your bouquets. I bet they are awesome. (Even if you'de plan them while on the toilet.)

[@emilasmith4279]

So glad to see the building improvements and efficiencies added. And your hard work now will pay off later! Maybe if you haven’t already have you considered exploring selling more wholesale to florists? Seems like you always had an abundance of beautiful flowers that went unharvested and unused. Look at each of those stems with a dollar bill attached and make everything work for you. Maybe start relationship building with florists now. All the best. /ps personally along with pretty mixed bouquets, I would buy a nice bundle of all peonies or all tulips or some other flower as well. Can’t say I ever saw you sell a same flower bundle. Just a thought.

[@PlantRelated]

You're doing quick progress, I love efficiency, great work

[@CraigEdwards-p6y]

Great to see you start the channel, my favourite posts of YCETG were the market days and the home stand results. I run a small nursery from home and whilst it's not selling cut flowers, there are lots of comparisons I can relate to. We have a perennial plant home nursery on 2.5 acres in Finniss, South Australia and we sell from home. Look forward to seeing your success bloom, cheers Craig, Finniss Plants

We used to have 2 runner ducks- Petunia & Juice Box. They were wonderful! I find ducks to be much messier than chickens BUT they are excellent pest control for the garden without scratching and ruining your planted garden beds.

It’s so awesome that you are back…love hearing your ideas and I’ve missed the farmer’s market videos. And also…missing the cats, hopefully you still have a couple. Your personal life is none of our business, I just find you to be a funny, talented person. Can you name a chicken or duck donut? I don’t know why, it just sounds like a good animal name lol

From PA : You have done a lot since first video. You are a good KZbinr. Keep on.

[@ninemoonplanet]

Becca, you have very nice dark hair, and for a video presentation, maybe run a brush through so the hair shines as much as you will. I'm not trying to "Mom" you, just am aware some strands keep going in your face. As for your business experience, it should make you much better at knowing priorities for your life, your family and the farm. The kids will adjust, probably faster than either of you expect. I had to do some adjustments myself, and I am still working on it. I spent years looking at things one way, but I did understand why I needed to adjust. You've got this!

[@wildchildtrails251]

I thought the same thing but neither one of them ever seemed to brush their hair. But also chalked it up to them working and showing us real time.

Omg Chinese elm. I really hate them. My next door neighbours have a huge tree that pours down seeds that look like snow over my whole yard and garden. I use a leaf blower to collect them when it’s dry out but if it rains before I can get to them then they make mats. Been battling these for 40 years. Good luck to you, I like all of your efficiency ideas. I believe in you too. Best of luck this season, hope the weather cooperates.

[@ChristForToday101]

Well it's nice to hear from you I didn't know what happened to you after you and your wife separated I'm so very sorry to hear about that you are such a beautiful couple and such a beautiful family and had such a beautiful farm with all those beautiful flowers you seemed that you are working so well together and such a good team what is tragedy it just seems I can just see the missing part anyway I don't want to be rude or disrespectful just want you to know that I love you and your wife and I love your kids from what I've seen on here on KZbin and I'm praying for the best for all of you❤❤❤❤
