We have been so busy selling flower bouquets from our roadside stand and farmers market, that we are falling behind on some tasks. So this week we are getting some help from our friends to check some projects off of the to do list. Our roadside stand is getting a small deck built out front, to increase merchandising space, and help keep the dust out of the interior area. Our shipping containers are getting a roof with lighting and electrical plug ins, so that we can finally start utilizing that space for parking all our small engines. We also made some progress on our dried flower bouquets, as another friend came and helped up get a bunch made and stored away to sell later in the season. The week doesn’t just stop with some projects though, we still need to get the flowers off to the market, and this week the bouquets are so colorful and beautiful, it really makes for an amazing display. The question remains though, will the farmers market customers be there to buy the bouquets, or will the maximum amount of competition lead to low sales? You need to watch to find out! And as always, if you enjoy our content, make sure to like and leave a comment, it actually helps us out a lot, and a few more help to really get our content out to those who want to see it!

This channel is going to singlehandedly ruin the need for more cowbell, as music producers start calling for more pruning snips. I envision professional musicians coming into studio sessions with an armful of greenery and a custom case filled with their instruments. 'Hey man. You know what this song needs?… I'm gonna switch from the Fiskars to the Felcos. Check it out. 1, 2, 3, 4…'
I wish I could be one of those people who are coming to help. But I live in Ontario
I am so glad you guys have good friends and people around you to come help!!! Best wishes for an awesome fall season!
You keep impressing with the most gorgeous flowers!
Awesome
Only half way through the video but felt the need to pause and comment on how beautifully the wind was moving through the grass Serena was harvesting! So majestic! And the Lisianthus are just so gorgeous!
Serena when Ian gets snippy with her Snip Snip*! Haha love it
So nice to get Xtra help, and knock some projects off. Your flower bouquets are just fabulous, I love the color combos and how vibrant they are.
Gorgeous bouquets! Every week I think they can't be topped by the late summer blooms, and you do it again and again. Question: Why don't you sell empty fruit jars or thrift-shop florists vases for your customers?
I am happy for you folks. Glad to be a friend!
Love the music nice touch
Nice touch with the timing of the snips and the music!
Outrageously beautiful flowers!!!!!! I am amazed at the glory of it all. Congratulations!!!!!
Leaving a comment to boost your engagement and watching another video lol
All the flowers look amazing. I know it's a lot of work and isn't easy, your doing a great job. Thanks for sharing your success
Wow beautiful flowers!
Can you do a weekly ASRM video of clipping flowers to the beat of the music? It could be a whole new channel!
That is some funky snippin'!
The down side to having so much content come out a day apart (and binging) is that now I’m going into withdrawal!
Feed the YouTube beast!
Glad you were able to harvest more efficiently while keeping the snippy snappy!
curious what you think abt putting in a dutch door at the road side stand; keeping the bottom half closed would cut down on the dirt/dust blowing in while leaving the top half open would still keep the welcoming vibe.
Every single bouquet looked spectacular! You two are amazing. Glad for the boost you received this week !
the lisianthis are AMAZING!!!
A live video and a weekly vlog back-to-back?! Now you are just spoiling us!
