FLOWER FARM TOUR & CATCH UP (JUNE EDITION)

[@lesfleursd-ans]

Hello Sarah, I have only just discovered your channel, just after setting up my first season as a flower farmer in the Dordogne in France. How I long for those British grey skies! The weather here is very extreme, with two winter months at -8C, a heatwave up to 40C in May broken by thunderstorms which can generate violent gusts of wind and hailstones as large as tennis balls. I have just started selling flowers; I have zinnias, snapdragons, rudbeickia, nigella, sweetpeas, dahlias, red basil, cosmos, anemone amongst other things. Thank you for sharing your expertise and bon courage!

You are a busy girl, don't worry about how far and few between videos you get out, we all know you have important work to get done. With that said, the bouquets for the honest box are beautiful.

[@creativedaisycrafts5318]

Great to see the progress and the lovely selection of flowers. Hope the great flower sales continue through the Summer. Looking forward to the next video already Liz x

[@hilshils3426]

Love your honesty! And so encouraging that even a more experienced grower can have ‘failures’… I’ve had dreadful ranunculus particularly. But I don’t sell my flowers…just a few for fun. And for our village show.

[@grannynjim6626]

Thanks for that. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing the next ones. Glad you enjoyed your holiday as well. :-)

[@daiseegray9110]

Your flowers are doing so great! You need to make more bouquets for the honest box. Let more enjoy your fabulous flowers.

[@younglee3285]

Lovely flowers. Thx for video.

[@kimiwaffles]

Thanks for the tour 😍 I can’t wait to plant my first batch of spring flowers later this fall !

[@helenachase5627]

Lovely.!

[@jaimemorgan5323]

Great tour :) I love how you share all your highs and lows, musings and wonderings, hits and misses: a real flower farming experience! I haven't had success growing Nigella, either. I wonder if my issue is planting too late, and am planning to sow direct in late summer/autumn next year. Did you do anything differently this season?

[@bloomandgray]

I’m glad you appreciate the reality! I sowed it into open trays rather than into cell trays but Other than that I didn’t do anything differently!

[@alisonburgess345]

New subscriber here - your channel looks good! Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season goes. I'm in Australia, so it's winter down here, but i'll be having my first season as a grower later this year into 2022. Have a great summer!

[@anazajec41]

This bouquets are so so beautiful

[@mkwats5375]

Red penstemon is husker red. Reseeds well!

[@Plant_Pantry_NZ]

Great video Sarah! Gorgeous snapdragons. .. what variety are they? Great selection of colours. 🌸🌱

[@bloomandgray]

Thank you! Some are chantilly varieties and some are tetra ruffled giants

[@kathleenenglish3501]

Everything is looking beautiful. Loving all the varieties. Have you tried growing gladiolus?

[@bloomandgray]

I grew it in my first year of farming but the bulbs are relatively expensive and they are quite structural, something that doesn’t always suit the type of bouquets I am making

[@fauzanfauziah61]

Notifikasion, I'm first my dear, thanks you for sharing, happy weekend .🇮🇩🇮🇩🙏🙏

[@LukesVanLife]

Hey, great vid. Was nice to meet you at Stratford 😁👍

[@bloomandgray]

Hey Luke thanks for watching. Was good to meet you too 😁

[@sarahalruna2686]

I would love if aou explained an showed your honesty box and maybe how you make bouquets? ♥️

[@bloomandgray]

My last video before this one does that 😁

[@Tea_and_thyme_2012]

Great video again, thank you. I noticed you grow the lambs ears which are lovely but have you ever grown Lychnis (Rose Campion), I was given a small plant a couple of years ago and I’ve grown it ever since and completely love it, both the magenta and white variety. I just wonder if they would be any good for a flower arrangement. Plus it spreads so free plants for friends and neighbours too.

[@bloomandgray]

I actually sowed lychnis this year.. I think I must have the plants in a tray somewhere! I will have to have a look for it 😂

[@hilshils3426]

Yes I like lychnis too, for the soft white foliage and the zingy pink or lovely white daisy type flowers.

[@AmieShuey]

Some of the flowers you presented in your video I am not familiar with. If they are not in flower, it would be great if you could show a pic of what the flowers look like.

[@Dave-hr7yl]

Can you please grow some roses up the wooden board fence.

[@kitkat5811]

Do you generally stock your honesty box daily? Love your videos! Thank you for sharing 💜

[@bloomandgray]

No I only do it when I have surplus 😊

[@hannahbest2274]

Great 😀

[@sharongeorge4096]

How do you know which KNF you need?? Interested in learning more

[@rebeccapem5550]

Could you share where you learned these fermenting techniques? A book perhaps?

[@bloomandgray]

Hey if you watch my video ‘diving into regenerative farming and Korean natural farming’ you’ll find lots of info about books etc there 😁

[@kaseyedwards4077]

Please tell me what those yellow or orange pokey things are?

[@gabrielaoblemenco899]

Hey from Romania, I have a question, the orange flower, what is it, the name?

[@MallouMakeup]

How long does your geum bloom for? Mine blooms ounces in spring and then I dont get anymore blooms.

[@bloomandgray]

Mine has stopped flowering now but I presumed it would last longer!

[@mmladyg]

Happened on this yesterday!...May be useful. I bought geums this year because of your earlier video. Love their delicate beauty. Really enjoy your channel.

[@Elisabeth_Vidgrain]

[@renatan.3649]

[@hollergirlblossomshawkins9037]

[@bloomandgray]

[@hollergirlblossomshawkins9037]
