VIDEO: More Flowers Means More Money! But Can She Make It While Sick?


Ranunculus are still producing in large quantities, and we have used them to make the ulitimate bouquet recipe, a rainbow ranunculus bouquet. This got people buying like never before, and our roadside stand sold massive amounts of bouquets before the farmers market even arrived. Unfortunately this week, Serina is still feeling bad, and will have to persevere through a long and challenging day, of harvesting, processing, and arranging enough bouquets to break our personal best sales record. If you want to sell a lot, you have to bring a lot, so Serina will be working another late night to make it happen. Lots of times this year already, we have gone to the farmers market with lots of flowers, but they sell out in the first few hours, before the busiest time of day is complete. This week, the plan is to bring so many bouquets that we can sell till the end. How much will we sell this week? You have to watch to find out.

  1. Elderberry syrup is a must have in my house. It helps prevent sickness, and when you do get sick it significantly shortens the duration of the sickness. I get it at a local winery or online. It has other amazing benefits too!
    Also, I love that the flower snipping sound went perfectly with the background music! Pretty cool editing.

  2. it took me a while to realise this was a new video – it has the same heading as last year's ranunculus video and I thought YouTube was just suggesting old videos!!

  3. Phattie looks like a cat I had. Her name was Sam. She had a seriously bad temper and once took on a copperhead snake. She lived but never attacked a snake again.

  4. Just want to say, we ran a home based business for 20 years. I had to push myself like you Serina. We reached our financial goals and raised our 3 kids to successful adulthood! But now I'm suffering chronic health issues which SUCKS and I can't fully enjoy retirement…but I would do it all again to see my kids do well like ours are. TOTALLY WORTH IT! ❤

  5. Sales of $1,500 st the market plus farm stand sales could get you to $2,000. The bouquets are terrific with gorgeous ranunculus, orlaya, scabiosas and other blooms. Now, Serina, get some sleep.

  6. Your stand is amazing, the market manager is a fool for not wanting you in a prominent place. Sad you didn't do the 2K but it was still a great day. If you can sell 30 from the roadside, there's an argument for not doing a market. I think it would make your workflow batter and improve you quilty of life.
