So I want to be a flower farmer...

... and this is just one of the reasons why:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEXs9UUgqqg


I came across this video about a year ago and it has set me on this journey.  This certainly won't happen overnight (though most days I wish it would).  We are starting small and just in our own back yard.  This past year I had more flowers than I ever thought possible.... and that was without a real plan and only 380 square feet of dedicated flower beds.

For next year I have many more hardy annuals in the ground ready for early spring and now I've added spring bulbs to the mix.  So far, we have 500 square feet planted and have started to dig a few more beds.  We are still going to be very small, but this year we are going to market!  Looking forward to sharing our flowers with you!

When I told my three year old I wanted to be a flower farmer, I asked him what the first step should be.  His response:  "Plant some seeds in the ground!"
