Becoming a Cut Flower Grower

Q&A Session with the CEO (that's me). And I Talk About Profitability, which is Very Important.

19 min • 20 mars 2025

What a gorgeous week: it's been very warm and sunny in the last couple of days, which has made me feel very excited about spring. And also slightly overwhelmed. I look at my seed trays and simultaneously think "Oh there are SO MANY!" and also "Oh I don't have enough!". But it's all fine: it's just what happens at this time of year.

Lots of updates for you in this episode including the progress of my seed germination, some vegetable seed sowing, the fate of the Victoria plum, and what I've been doing with my compost at the plot.

In part 2 I answer some listener questions plus one from me about the most profitable cut flower stems to grow (I've been wondering a lot about this). So join me as I talk about direct sowing, not getting lonely even when you spend a lot of time alone, why I can't really sell direct to customers and my thoughts on the most profitable cut flowers to grow.

In this episode, I'm having a Q&A session with myself.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Seed germination updates

✅ What are the challenges of direct sowing?

✅ Homemade compost update   

✅ Why I struggle to sell directly to customers

✅ What is the most profitable cut flower stem to grow?
