This episode features a takeover of our popular weekly live Q&A session on Instagram, called Ask a Flower Farmer. Guest-hosted by Dave Dowling of Ball/ColorLink, also a former flower farmer and the instructor for our online course: Flower Farming School Online: Bulbs, Perennials, Woodies, and More.
Dave is always happy to share his knowledge with our listeners! Here, he answers questions about peonies, snapdragons, lilies, stock, and so much more.
Other topics include dried flowers, tulips, how long it takes to grow seedlings, fertilizing in the field, cosmos, when and where to pinch plants, treatments for aphids and thrips, viburnum, orlaya, grow lights, dahlia tubers, fertilizers, poppies, RootShield, calla lilies, and celosia.
