About this episode
In this episode of The Dirt on Flowers, Shannon and Lyndsay dive into the reality of spring farming, where long days and unpredictable weather make flexibility essential. They share how they’re managing heat swings and timing crops like ranunculus for Mother’s Day. The conversation highlights a shift in thinking about tulips as a supporting flower that adds value to bouquets rather than the main focus. They also discuss the frustration of underpriced flowers at markets and the importance of standing by your pricing. The episode touches on tulip losses, tunnel space strategy, and adapting to tough field conditions. Overall, it’s an honest look at the challenges and constant adjustments required during the busy spring season.
