Here on our cut flower farm we have a 25 week long season that spans spring, summer, and fall. The only way that is possible is if we plan for each of those seasons separately, with different flower varieties for different times of year. Join Serina on the September farm tour to get all the details of our favorite fall varieties, and how we push our cut flowers past our first frost date.

Wonderful information!
The double click always flops on me
Rudbeckia triloba is so weedy!!! I love native plants but I regret planting that species. It wouldn't be as bad if they didn't get so tall and bushy. The Goldfinches do love them but I would have been happier with the shorter Rudbeckia species.
EXcellent video, content, info. Bravo and congrats at having a great year in all your endeavors! You look fabulous in Pink. Love and Blessings to all of you!
Omg where are your coveralls from?! So cute!
I love zinnias! I have some of the lime queen mix around my garden long with some other verities and they are amazing. My cosmos (apricot lemonade and xanthos) look awesome but are flopping all over the place and I may not grow them next year. Your garden looking amazing. Thank you for the inspiration and taking us along for the journey!
I grew Apricotta and Lemonade Cosmos…Apricotta have had amazing colour variations. Esp with the changing light and temps. Stunning mix of pinky orangey peach. Lemonade has varied from almost white to pale yellow, with a brighter yellow ring inside. Very pretty!
Have you found any marigold varieties that don't smell?
Enjoyed the video. Interesting take on cinnamon basil.I’ve grown it and used it but did not realize it’s use for cut flower farmers.
Rubenza is bomb! So happy to see your family farm and business doing so well! Your hard work shows!!
omg at 21:02 I thought I saw a huge spider when looking at the double daisy rubeckia! (on the pink outfit background) haha.
I used to think Marigolds were so boring, but every single year I love them more. They also make a really interesting tea!
Love your farm
Love the visual audio treat in the opening – you should submit for a contest! The content as always is so informative. Thank you!!!! Your videos bring me joy, and I look forward to them every week.
Your killing the pink pantsuit girl. One of your best videos.
The music was perfect for this video- whoever is picking out the music is doing a fantastic job!
Fantastic video
Useful guys thanks!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your garden with us!
I’m just down the road from you and my cardoons and green globe artichokes came back this year… mulch them and I’m sure yours will too!!
Your videos are always so grate! They are so very nicely made. It is like a mini documentary and still feels more personal. Great visuals and highly entertaining and informative.
Love the pink jumpsuit Serina!
This was so great! So informative, inspiring, and beautiful. The opening montage was lovely and the music was perfect. And your jumpsuit!!!!
My Velvet Curtain amaranth is about 1ft tall. What am I doing wrong?!
