Harvesting Cut Flowers For The Farmer's Market - Sunshine and Flora Urban Flower Farm

[@mistygeller3193]

Oh my goodness how fun are all of those pretty flowers to work with!!? I’ve been watching your channel for over a year now so I know how time you have put into starting many things from seed. I hope you give yourself a great big hug when you see the results! 😊

[@SunshineFlora]

oh gosh - thank you so much!!!!

SUCH BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS!! LOVE THE SUPREME CANTALOUPE DOUBLE CONE FLOWER. I'VE PUT IT ON MY WISH LIST.

[@SunshineFlora]

It's so good!

Great video. I personally like when you talk and identify each group of flowers you are harvesting. You also give us some important info on each one. Thank you.

I loved this harvest video. Your flowers look amazing 👏

Did you hear Erin talk about the zinnias? She was saying that most are picking them too young. If you wait a week the flower middle will open up more and be twice the size. I’m going to try this.

[@SunshineFlora]

hmm interesting! I will try that and see the difference!

[@lauriezanger1504]

Right! But I don't think they will have as long of a vase life this way, either.

Hey Christina! Been very busy I see. Been out for awhile, but did get market started last weekend. Heat got to my ranunuculus in my new raised bed. I finally had some! I didn't realize how small they are? Seems like it would take alot to make it worth the effort. Have rust/bugs here, too. I started sahara from seed and also love it.

You should grow lisianthis and Lillie's daisies for exquisite focal flowers

[@zyaayz]

Thank you

Would love a video of you just harvesting. Love a more silent episode that's just the snips of your clippers and showing us your favorites. If you wanted to that is.

[@SunshineFlora]

😊😊

Good morning and beautiful flowers. I am new to flower growing cutting and selling. How do you keep these flowers fresh throughout a hot day. After you harvest, do you put them in the fridge? Tell me more about what you do after harvest to help preserve the flowers.

[@SunshineFlora]

Yes I put everything but the zinnias in the fridge and that keeps them fresh.

What is the purple flower?

[@SunshineFlora]

ageratum

[@kelleyspiller5330]

Did you get your mountain mint from plugs?

[@SunshineFlora]

I started it from seed

[@newt52864]

Thanks for sharing....yes it is brutal here also in PA 🥵🥵🥵

[@robynloglisci4961]

Did she say the pincushion FAMA flower is a perennial?

[@SunshineFlora]

It is for me. Now I have read that plants fizzle a bit after year 3, but mine came back very strong after being planted last year

[@ECole-le7we]

You made a video sometime back where you discussed how you price stems including a database you go to for pricing recommendations. Can you refer me to that video? Thank you.

[@SunshineFlora]

Google the Boston Wholesale Market Pricing - it updates each week!
