Sorry for all the comments so if I’m understanding some of your beds were actually wider than 30 inches depending on if you planted on the outside of each outer drip tape. What would u say the width would be then in total ? 50 inches ? And did you plant all your annuals besides Zinnias that way or did u just do some planted in 2 rows
Can I pinch Dahlia without interfering with the flowering?
Thanks for the video! Just wondering: if you don’t do this for profit, what do you do with all the flowers you produce? What is the goal of your flower production? And how much time are you busy to manage your flower production? Are other people working at your farm who get a profit from it?
What are the best flowers that don’t get very tall? I mean that they stay about as small as a geranium.
Thanks for this! I took notes to refer back to. As a side note, as far as aphids, something that really helped for me was spraying them with a mixture of Dr Bronner peppermint soap and water. Kills them off. I’ve used only that method for the past two years. They obviously keep coming, but just keep spraying them. Easy non toxic solution!
Great overview! Anyone who is serious about growing cut flowers needs to get the book Cut Flower Garden by Erin Benzakien creator of Floret. It is the most extensive book you can buy and you will find yourself using it endlessly. I have had it for years and still use it all the time. She shares everything needed from season to season. It is a priceless resource. She has free mini courses each month too. The cut flower bible.
Thank you! Some of those pics at 2:40 ,you identified some of the flowers I’ve loved in purchased bouquets,and have wondered of I can grow .thank u 100x!
Amazing videos! Love your channel and your videos and think you are just wonderful. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Ok so the dahlias were planted right down the middle of the tea post line but what about the irrigation. Was there 3 drip tapes around the dahlias as well.
Yes, Very helpful thank you.
Yay! I’m growing cardinal basil this year for fillers too. I saw the seeds on Baker Creek and knew I needed them
do you use hot/warm water to put your cut flowers into…for 24 hrs ….then change to cooler water???? I sure don’t know…just asking…..Thank You! PS: was a little disappointed with Russel this evening….he was not creating a ruckus … :))))… must be getting ready for Baby Girl!!!
Hello Laura Your baby is beautiful . My question for you is
could you show your Green Stalk planter with the supertunias? I bought one after watching you with yours and I plan to plant supertunias. Was 2 plants enough?
We have a problem with Japanese Beetles every year do you have that problem as well? And how do you deal with them.
Great information-thank you so much.
Hi Laura! This was a very helpful video and gave a lot of information for getting started. Thank you so much for putting this together for us.
Do you have a video or post about how your drip system works for your flower garden? Or a link to what drip tape you used? Thanks!!
My pond plants have done well in vase; lotus, and the dried lotus seed pods, purple pickerel, purple water iris , gold water iris, cat tails, water fern, and I clip from my potted ferns.
Congratulations on sweet baby girl!
Renee in Virginia 🙂
The soil under pine trees or evergreens is more acidic.. you might want to check your soil in many different places before putting soil acidifier on everything. If you do that under the pine trees your soil will be too acidic!
Love the channel. I just planted all my spring flowers today! It was amazing to get in the garden and clean up and plant up!
That was amazing thank you so much 💖👏
When you succession sow, how is that usually done? I’m assuming if you have lots of land/space that means planting in a different spot? But does that mean in a totally different section of the property "far away" or do you plant in a prepared bed right next to the current bed that is about to be harvested? If the latter is the correct way to do it, do you have to plan your garden ahead of time so that there are a few rows for a specific variety, and you plant that variety in one row and keep the other rows unplanted and ready for the succession sow? I keep coming back to this video and it makes me realize something new every time. Thank you! <3
I hope this isn’t too bold to ask…. now that you have the larger property (a lot MORE work) how many people are on your staff (full and/or part time)?
I know this is late …but what size are your actual cutting beds ? The width mainly ….and how many drip tapes per bed
It is time for you to write a book, or two, or ten 🙂
I have a flower bed along the fence in the front what do you suggest I can plant there
So 30 inch beds with drip every 10 inches ….do you plant on both sides in a zip zag fashion?
Do you plant the dahlias differently??
Do you recommend drip tape for just a household sized cutting garden?
FABULOUS! You are a treasure! Thank you. 💝💝
That was fantastic! Thank you for sharing, Laura. Love your channel:) And your bouquets come out stunning every time that I’ve seen..
Lots to think about. Thanks.
This was excellent! Thank you.
5star list for cut flowers, long season bloomers and great in the vase. Don’t forget the greenery.
Awesome 😎

This was wonderful, thanks. I also appreciate all the post production edits that include photos and specific listings of flowers and products ❤
GREAT Q n A!!! TYTYTY! HOPEFUL for the Flower garden this year!!!
I’ve had to move and am starting from scratch. I purchased a lot of seeds and some have blood dates of over 300 days. Not sure how that works. Do I just plant and wait until next year or what? Dumb questions, I guess.
@Allisyn H… flowers don’t like being watered from above. If you let the sprinkler water your flowers, that is a big reason why some flowers don’t look good. Laura’s flowers are mostly watered from below and that is one reason they look so pristine!
Are statice(sea lavender) fragrant??
This was very educational, Laura! Thank you. Inspired by you, I’m growing flowers from seed now, and it’s much fun! And so gratifying, as you say. I’m going to try growing from seed some of the flowers you recommend in this video.
Winter sow – thats what I do as I don’t have grow lights and stuff . Just try it – it’s easy for a lot of
seeds as long as it gets moisture. Laura has done it. Google it.
Thank you this was very helpfu,
Thank you for all the suggestions.
I would use a label that you stake high so you can see it walking down the row. I started a flower garden last year by planting two flowers. They did really well and I learned a lot. I’m adding dahlias this year. This was a great video!!
Hi!! Marking you plants high!
Keep a hole puncher to punch a hole in the plastic tab. Use 12 gauge 6ft hanger wires (50-pack). This wire is at Home Depot used to hang drop ceilings ($17.78). Can be cut in half for a hundred. Bend the top like a shepard hook then crimp it down after you put the label on it. Thank you so much for all the info!!😁
Great video!! You deserve every last one of these views.
I have raised garden beds that are 4’x3’x 8” can I grow Dahlias or would I be better off putting them in a square foot container
U say u don’t garden for profit so what do u do it for? I know u love the flowers, as I do, but u do get a lot of stuff free and don’t u consider that profit?
Carnations last a long time but don’t know how to grow them
