Tour of the August flower farm

[@lawriefoster5587]

Hello again from NW Philadelphia. I actually gasped at the glorious colors of your Dahlias. Yes, your flowers are like people and I love your attitude towards them. Again, thanks so much.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you so much! x

[@sunniesflowerco]

I just love your garden tours, Georgie! And your mantra "waste not want not!" The top tips are always helpful, especially as I plan the remodel of my workshop...cement flooring with a drain it is! 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

You are so welcome! x

[@joannbaumann4028]

I rewatched. Worth it.

[@theflowerfarmer]

hurrah! x

[@melodywhealdon2072]

as someone who watches your videos often, I have to say you look hot and tired..It is such a pleasure to hear you talk about the garden with optimism and realistically instead of projecting a " perfect" idea of how plants look. I hope your mom is doing better. Take care and stay cool:)

[@theflowerfarmer]

Wow, thank you - will admit, I am both hot and tired! shrubs here are really struggling as well as the flowering plants. I hope we get a drop of rain on Monday x

[@angelapryke8020]

I was lucky enough to watch all the bees in your wonderful cutting patch on Wednesday evening, had a wonderful time with you and Teacake on your open evening tour. Thanks again Georgie

[@theflowerfarmer]

my pleasure - the bees are amazing x

[@honoregale856]

Bravo Georgie for coping so magnificently with everything. This drought and hot weather seems like the last straw and yet there you are caring for your biannuals. So glad Mum is making progress. Do take care of yourself.

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@honoregale856]

Just seen on the news you are under hosepipe ban. Such a worry for you. I do hope you will be able to manage. Take care

[@waterlily43811]

The PomPom's knocked my socks off! Wonderful Tour as usual. We need another tour at your Mums, I expect you've been keeping an eye on her gardens as well!

[@theflowerfarmer]

I did a tour recently at Mum's - have a look back three or four clips ago xxx

[@d.d.mac.3773]

Beautiful flowers. I fear you frightened poor Teacup with the garden hose. My dog isn't too trusting when I have a garden hose in my hands either, despite never having sprayed her.

[@theflowerfarmer]

lol - yes, she's rightly wary xxx

[@erwinroodt1245]

Great personality, perfect for narrating this these videos.

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@gardengirl7446]

[@theflowerfarmer]

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thanks so much xxx

[@Costachel77]

Hi @catherineengle4196 How are you doing?

[@katrienvh4289]

Love how you call your plants "people"

[@theflowerfarmer]

I'm with you - both I and the garden hate this heat xxx bring on the rain I say xxx

[@kimmatlock2096]

I always enjoy watching your videos. You always bring a smile to my face. And your knowledge is just WOW. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@theflowerfarmer]

You are so welcome x

[@leannlamberth6235]

You are so enjoyable to watch and I adore how you show and tell. It is so helpful for a newbie like me. The dahlias are amazing. Can you tell me the varieties? Thanks for all do!! ♥️ from the USA

[@theflowerfarmer]

You are so welcome - I must do a full dahlia variety countdown x

[@leannlamberth6235]

Those colors are just so beautiful and dreamy! Please do!

[@Costachel77]

Hi @leannlamberth6235 It's a pleasure to meet you here. How are you doing?

[@Samantha-ps2vv]

Beautiful as always! Thank you for sharing your farm with us! 💗💐

[@theflowerfarmer]

You are so welcome! x

[@wendywerner3242]

Best wishes to Mum. Lovely work 🦋🌻

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you so much 😊 x

[@Costachel77]

Hi @wendywerner3242 It's a pleasure to meet you here. How are you doing?

[@patrickdempsey9886]

We missed you so much hope mum doing well we miss her too

[@theflowerfarmer]

hopefully she has the cast off next week - we'll see x

[@Momcat6]

Wonderful fun, thank you! I never thought to use the atriplex (known here as Red Orach Spinach) as a cut ornamental item. We've always grown it as edible 'greens'.

[@theflowerfarmer]

it's fab cut into arrangements x

[@hesketh42]

Fabulous as always thankyou

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@kimfox5186]

Your flowers look amazing. How do you manage in this heat and drought to keep them so beautiful ? Anyway hats off to you and I wish your Mum a speedy recovery 🙏

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you - the flowers are more resilient than I am I think x

[@julieknowles7063]

Lovely. (As usual!) Hope your mum's getting better?

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you - she's getting there slowly x

[@Littlebitesofjoy]

Mind if I ask how you designed it? I love all of it :)

[@theflowerfarmer]

it's very roughly 'designed' - more evolved over the years - I dream of rationalising the whole space more x

[@Littlebitesofjoy]

@@theflowerfarmer I'm inspired, thank you!

[@Costachel77]

Hi @Littlebitesofjoy How are you doing?

[@mehmetucar3685]

Like 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thanks for the visit x

[@kathyc3312]

Beautiful morning at yours! When you “water and feed” after a cut back, what is it that you feed? Compost? Liquid fert?

[@theflowerfarmer]

liquid alpacca poo feed - but seaweed solution would do x

[@Costachel77]

Hello Kathy!

[@Rootcraft_UK]

Please, in your next clip. Could you say something about water? With the inevitable drought declaration and hosepipe bans looming, what is your strategy and do you have any type of permit attached to your business for usage? I have not got very far with talking to Thames Water, here in south London. Thanks

[@theflowerfarmer]

yes, I need to do a watering clip - xxx

[@Littlebitesofjoy]

Did you grow the gold astrantia from seed?

[@theflowerfarmer]

no the plants were given me by a friend - but she grew them from seed x

[@Littlebitesofjoy]

@@theflowerfarmer lovely, thank you! :)

[@nikkiholton6318]

What were the round blue/purple flowers sometime after the limelights

[@theflowerfarmer]

ooh I'll have to watch back and see x echinops?

[@nikkiholton6318]

Yes !! It looks like that...thank you !!

[@aliceheidecker1853]

I’m thinking you must be exhausted from traveling to take care of your mother. I hope she is doing well.

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you - I am a bit - she's getting there slowly x
