In our last video we destroyed a whole section of pretty rudbeckia flowers on the farm, and you all gave a collective gasp. We do this often (in fact, we do it so much, that we bought the hedge trimmer specifically for the job, and it saves us multiple hours a year). But, we didn’t mention why in the video. So, today, I’ll tell you all about the joys of deadheading. And why the fantasy of walking through fields of beautiful flowers is actually a flower farmers nightmare.

I love this out-door chat…so much.!, better than looking at a wall in a house . Yay for many cat-snuggles in the garden. You grow people ! Nice !!
You guys are so cute .
Do you store tulip bulbs for next year
That entire flower making babies chat may have been my fav ever!! Thanks for the understandable science lesson, Serina!
I was today years old when I learned why I can't use a wheelbarrow, but love my cart. That makes total sense. Plus, when a short person (me) lifts a wheelbarrow with arm muscles, stability is lost (along with the load). I'll never give up my smarte cart.
Just send perfect blooms for donation,hospitals etc instead of kicking perfect blooms which can bring happiness to people who cannot maybe buy ur flowers
Income opportunity… have one area filled with lots of beautiful, fluffy blooms… to rent out for photo sessions… engagements, family, pregnancy… lots of folks want flowers as backdrops.
No wonder I struggle using the wheelbarrow! LOL Glad to hear you guys are doing well and hope your video submission goes well! Take care.
