In this episode of MULCH I address the really tricky question that we all face every year, and often several times a year as a Flower Farmer. 'Am I growing enough flowers and foliage on my flower farm?'

It's so important to see this question as one based in the present moment and not a question in comparison to where I want to be in 3 or 5 years time.

So I ask myself questions at this time of the year to help me to understand the actual position that I find myself in as I head into the beginning of my flower season.

And I start with this question:

'Am I growing cut flowers that will cover as much of the season as I want to cover?'

because if the answer is yes then whilst I may want to have more of each, the want is not necessarily proportionate to the need. And if the answer is yes, then really this is the place to stop asking questions so that I can focus on getting the best quality out of what I have, rather than trying to do more.

The purpose of The Flower Farming Business School Online is to help you to make the best decisions for you and your Flower Farm. I ask questions like this all of the tim, because I want to help you to make the best decisions and to understand why you have made them.

Quarter 2 of THe Flower Farming Business School will open for registration on Monday March 24th. Quarter 2 will start on Monday 31st March and I can't wait to work with you to make your Flower growing business work for your.
