  Oh oh oh oh oh!!! I can give you a helpful "seed saving tip" for gather now- sort it out later. Honestly my seeds are still waiting to be sorted out because of Christmas. I piled these up. Ready? Coffee filters! Take a stack in a bowl and grab a pen. On a non-windy day when you notice seeds need harvesting Write the name, type and color and fill up your filter. You can stack them up and (here is the beauty of it) they will dry in a stack because there is still enough airflow!!! Seed saving is one of my fav parts of growing!! I become obsessed! SEEEEDS!🤪

  Love stock!! Have some pink stock and since we don’t freeze and their blooms last forever if not cut they are always there in the background of my flowerbed. They rock!!

  Brilliant description of stock growing needs. I may give these another try.  I live up in northern WI.  I have a small hoop house.  We shall see. 😊

  It is unseasonably warm here in Malakwa BC too. It is kinda scary.

  The cat is totally something to be thankful for!!! The mice will not get to your seedlings!!! ;) Miss you, I&apos;m ridiculously excited and happy for you and all the success you have worked very hard for!!!! You were born for this kid!!! I LOVE that you have to put a curtain up! That&apos;s exactly the vibe you want for a nursery!!! People buy more as they stay and chat while meandering!!!<br> &nbsp;I worked at a nursery as a cashier, rt out of highschool and the next 6 summers! I saw a comment on situating your things for sale at the register...yep, pack as much stock as possible and I promise it will sell!!!! I watched it. :)<br> &nbsp; I love this, it&apos;s so funny that I talk to you as a friend I&apos;ve known forever...I think flower farms are just soul sisters!!! ;) <br>Congratulations on your transition from the beautiful, cozy porch to a full blown nursery owner!!!! I can see how excited you are, there&apos;s actually a speed up of your voice! Ha, that&apos;s so fun! Just so happy for you and your family!.....and thanks for going FIRST... I&apos;m taking notes my friend and I am so excited for my own endeavor this season.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;I&apos;m selling produce and flowers. It&apos;s my first time getting myself out there! I honestly don&apos;t care about the money, I&apos;m addicted to the look on a woman&apos;s face as she first sees her bouquet! I really am, it&apos;s the way their faces instantly light up and they are glowing. It&apos;s truly a beautiful experience. I guess that&apos;s why I will not stop. I&apos;ve decided that instead of the usual freak outs associated with first year jitters I&apos;m going to take time to enjoy all the new moments. It&apos;s supposed to be hard work, with a gorgeous pay off!!! Count me in!!!<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Congratulations Nicole, the place looks incredible and you are beaming with excitement!!! Love it! 💕

  Hey Nicole, have you ever thought about adding veggies in your boquets? Last year i grew these mini eggplants. The fruits were purple and white striped. About 1&quot;-2&quot; long. The stems were super long filled with these amazing bright colored fruits that lasted forever in an arrangement. My local floral shop adored them. Check into it. It also produces early. Produces before cherry tomatoes.
