VIDEO: Why We Hedgetrimmed Pretty Flowers (Deadheading Discussed)


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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
