Hurricane, Tornados, Flooding, Week 4 updates on the Flower Farm

This has been a heck of a challenging week for us on the flower farm! Mother Nature is throwing everything she can our way! This is week 4 updates on the flower farm and there is a lot to show you and talk about....it is not looking good for the flowers.

I'm absolutely feeling with you!!! And I understand you so well!!! So many flowerfarmers experienced that this year, changing weather conditions and resulting increased pest pressure ... a cocktail out of devils kitchen in terms of flower (or veggie) production. The experience that no one has time when you desperately need help is also well known 😢 Don't be sad, you're not alone!! And you are brave and go on and you share it with us, so that we also don't feel alone with these same problems! Thank you for this!! I think you will find a solution and its also a new experience and adventure in your life, don't forget that. You just can get into problematic situations if you try something, and would you like to live a life without adventure and trying out new things? I wouldn't like to ;) And: my farm is about 10 minutes away from where I live at the moment, because I have to renovate the old buildings. Its very difficult not to live there, because you never can use some free minutes for working in the fields. I think that makes it much more difficult for me and probably also for you. I could imagine, thats why you need workers to help you. But its not easy to afford those helping hands, thats clear. I'm curious about the solution you were talking about! I wish you the very best and hope, that everything turns well for you!! 🤗🌻🌼

Thank you for sharing your struggles. I'm sorry it's not as you had hoped this year. I think you should move your farm to N Carolina- find land there. It must be hard not being able to be at the field. Nobody will take care of your farm like you would. I look forward to what's ahead for you, and am wishing you only the best!
