Planting The Most Expensive Flower on Our Farm

[@person3952]

Thank you for inviting us to follow your process. Your content is easily interesting and enjoyable enough to carry itself even without music. At least to me it is distracting and I much prefer whatever if any sound naturally is there. Looking forward to following all the great and hard work you do.

[@AnnaKincaid]

Having both of you in these videos is fantastic. 😆

[@sheelaghomalley5459]

My goodness those Peonies are huge. Best of luck with the Peony field. Can't wait to see it in bloom.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

So exciting!

[@Flowerpowwow]

I love the Harrison twist! Thank you for sharing. I will use it

[@gerishufelberger3948]

I love your Red Charm. Wish I lived closer I would come buy them all.

[@southwestlivingwithval]

I am so thinking of starting a flower farm on my 5 acres, I live in the southwest so I will have to see what grows good here. I am in zone 8a here. Thank you for the info. Hugs and blessings always

[@anniathome]

I love watching your process video clips. I was just wondering how to efficiently plant peonies.

[@GengaKim]

Thanks for another very informative video! I'm making the hubs watch this video so he can see how to prep our ground. I wish I could fast forward 6 or 7 yeaars, all the Peonies blooming will be beautiful and smell divine!!!

[@ECole-le7we]

I am a new subscriber. I learn a lot from you. Will you be showing more about the high tunnel build? That would be fantastic!

[@CoramDeoFarm]

We might! :)

[@melinda858]

What spacing are you planting? I’m planning on planting 100 but I’m debating 2’ or 3’ spacing 🤔

[@citymousestudio]

I counted 14 eyes on one of my Onings Sarah Bs - so amamzing!

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Wooooow

[@AnaCatarina1964]

Where did you order the peony roots from?

[@SarahDodson-z2u]

Where do you buy your bulbs and bare roots ?! and how much are they and when do you plant them? First timer and I have been watching your videos religiously! lol so thank you for all your advice and tips I greatly appreciate it !!!

[@melissabibb7100]

I'm new to your channel and have loved watching. I'm also in Oklahoma. Our farming is for subsistence, but I daydream about beautiful flowers - like yours! I was watching the digging and, while I would say the Harrison twist is nothing less than impressive, did you give any thought to post hole diggers? Just a thought from someone who knows nothing about flower farming :)

[@lindajones9191]

When I went to Onings website they didn't list peonies anywhere. Is there a specific site you order from? I'm in Massachusetts so too late to plant more this year but Id like to get my ducks in a row for next year. Just discovered your channel and it's already been very helpful so thank you!!!

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Hi Linda! Onings is a bit more old fashioned. You need to email them and ask the updated catalog. They will send you a PDF that shows everything they have, prices, what is in stock etc….then they have a form you fill out to order. Their contact info should be on the website :)

[@lindajones9191]

@CoramDeoFarm Thank you so much! Best of luck with your farm!! 🚜

[@theresaburg5881]

Those are going to look fantastic. I'm in Canada and no way we will be planting anything until the end of May...we've already had a few snowfalls.

[@nikierna9691]

I didn’t even know you could order 5-8 eye! 3-5 is the biggest I’ve seen listed at ball 😮

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Yes! Onings has 5/8 and they are AMAZING quality. Very impressed. Will be sticking with Onings from now on with all my orders if possible. Ball doesn’t carry 5/8

[@rebeccaglenn7169]

@@CoramDeoFarm ok i looked maybe im looking at the wrong thing but they dont have peonies... ????

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

If you decide to order / grow more peonies, and want to add another colour. Consider buying Bartzilla. It is a more expensive peony as it is an Itoh Peony, BUT I can tell you people love and respond to it in amazement for it's huge flower size and it's buttery yellow colour. It is unique and people are drawn to it for that reason, because it is a unique peony colour and size, it is easy to charge more for. It is the one more expensive peony, that I would say, is worth the extra cost many times over. It is the only peony I wish I had bought more of.

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

I think Bartzella is a little too big for flower arrangements, although it does look amazing in the landscape. There are many yellow herbaceous varieties however, that are better for cut flowers.

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

@@gardeningjunkie2267I love using it in bouquets and my customers love them as well. But then, I am known for my dinnerplate dahlia bouquets so I am used to, and comfortable with creating floral arrangements with an emphasize on large focals. I only wish we could grow Protea here as I would love to add that to my repertoire.

[@J91934]

What landscape fabric did you use? Im trying to find some worth buying vs. the stuff im seeing at some of these big box stores that are super thin.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Dewitt

[@samasenter]

Are you worried about access to your middle row for pruning

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

You have a lot of planting to do! Good luck! I was planning on planting a couple of hundred roots this fall but didn’t manage to get the beds ready. But now it’s plowed and next spring I’ll prepare all for autumn planting!

[@CoramDeoFarm]

definitely a lot of work left! Hopefully slow and steady we will get it done

[@sec4lyfe769]

Where did you possibly find peony roots for $2 a piece? Was it with Onings Holland?

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Yes

[@condruzmarius]

What distance did you plant the roots at?

[@CoramDeoFarm]

18”

[@condruzmarius]

@@CoramDeoFarm thank you!

[@condruzmarius]

@@CoramDeoFarm isn't that too close? Most people recomend 3 to 4 ft.

[@chazvegas_]

If you guys come through Cincy - I also speak groot and pretty sure Eric and i would be besties.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Love it!

[@samanthaverhaeghe6868]

I went on there website n can’t find peonies 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@joshgeissinger]

How will you manage weed growth between the landscape fabric rows? It looks like there is about a six inch gap.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Either more fabric or deep mulch

[@manon5826]

We still need to do some work on your Dutch. But if you are a fan of max, Ill count it as a win 😊

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Max! Max! Super Max!

[@YanickaQuilt]

4$ for a Root, i only found the same root for 30$ 😮. This field is going to look amazing 😍😍😍

[@chazvegas_]

Did I miss her say $4? I'm with you...$25-$35 I think.😮

[@CityGrownFlowers]

Bupleurum - “Boop” for short, much easier (for me anyways). Definitely referring to larkspur as fuzzy parsley for now on. 👌🏻😁

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Haha!

[@chandrananeeshchandran]

Can you mention the price per box for each varieties(3-5& 5-8 eyes) ?

[@CoramDeoFarm]

The 5/8 range from $6 to $12 per root variety

[@jessicaropp3624]

Why did you go with Onings vs Ball?

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Size and quality

[@carolrichardson2824]

Will you please give us the contact info for ordering peonies. I am really enjoying your videos.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

We order from Onings

[@janiestrasser]

What landscape fabric do you use?

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Dewitt

[@LisaGuigar]

Love your videos. You're an inspiration 😊

[@SumnersIrisGarden-Homestead]

I bought a few yellows $50.00 each they are expensive

[@Flowerpowwow]

That is a lot of tubers.

[@TaureanDreams]

The pronunciation was sending me through the roof😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Hahah 😂

[@Daisy-Hey-Hello]

Groot & Groot... worst pronunciation ever 🤣🤣🤣 (just kidding). It means Big & Big. Greetings from Holland!

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Haha I love it!

[@Elisabeth_Vidgrain]

Pronounciation was horrible! I confirm 😂same with the Duchesse 😂😂😂 we are also watching you in Belgium 😉

[@CoramDeoFarm]

@@Elisabeth_Vidgrain haha he tried! 🫠

[@aKBnB]

Im not sure why you say no one would pay decent money for peony’s. We charge 12 to 15 a stem at my shop and they fly out the door. People will pay what the product is worth

[@mandocool]

She says she doesn’t like the color red but she is wearing a Red Bull hat 😆 😬 awkward

[@CoramDeoFarm]

I feel so seen right now
