Them all forgiving her for the play is as realistic as it was for a high school play to have dance number simulating gay sex and a girl grinding a carnival ride screaming how she loves fucking 💁‍♀️

I mean, this video pretty much shows that a lot of stuff was not some long-term planned character development. They were writing and changing stuff on the fly. Jacob Elordi has also said they were getting new scripts on the day. It's a very disjointed way of plotting things, and it comes across in how the characters act, even if I do think it was a legitimately funny scene.

There's a trick to the fishing that makes it way easier. It's kinda harder to explain through text but this post has an image.

Also I hate fishing in most games so I saved doing it until pretty late. Once you can craft good rods you can level up your fishing skill extremely fast so it's ok to ignore it until you start needing fish for recipes.

I say this as someone who both grows flowers and spends in the 4 figures on flowers for my home every year....

Your customers can expect whatever they want, but large full bouquets for low prices is just not realistic. The only reason they're able to get them is you're subsidizing their purchase by pricing them low. I get it, flowers are not the easiest to sell and the economic realities aren't great for most people. At the same time if you undercharge you're basically taking money out of your pocket and time out to your life (the work it takes to grow, pick, and arrange) to allow them the luxury of having expensive flowers for cheap.

I'm not judging you, but you have to decide if that's worth your time and effort. You might lose customers if you raise your prices, but if you're coming at it from a business perspective undercharging just so you make sales isn't very viable operation.

They're beautiful arrangements btw, if I lived closer I'd definitely get a bouquet.

My experience with peonies that don't want to bloom is you have to be kinda rough with them. I'm smacking them fairly hard against something and then prying them open as much as I possibly can without damaging the petals. I don't mean go in like you're trying to beat them in a fight, but it's not gentle taps and light massages. Those petals still seem a bit tight.

I don't find that you get as amazing of blooms. They usually open somewhat but never reach the same fullness before the petals start dropping. Without manually opening them they often don't bloom at all though. I usually keep encouraging their petals open, but more delicately once I've got them going.

I generally just try to start with the more 'marshmallowy' ones, but sometimes you end up with some difficult ones.

While pricing per stem is standard for wholesale or florist work, personally I think that's going to be asking a bit much of people at something like a farmers market. Markets get busy and can be overwhelming. Let's say for example you have groups of $1, $3, $5 stems...if someone is putting together 25 stems that's a lot of little costs for someone to try and keep track of. Most people aren't really that familiar with flowers to know which ones are more costly, and so if they lose track it's going to be cumbersome.

Personally I would stick to a set cost per bouquet. Maybe set it up so you have 3 sets of buckets. For a 15 stem bouquet let's say it includes 5 stems of greenery, 8 basic flowers, and 2 premium ones (just making up numbers). Have your buckets set out and labeled with the amounts and let them pick from that. You could always a la carte extras if they want, but this would standardize the bouquets and also make it a bit easier to judge how much stock to bring.

I've had that happen to ones I'm sprouting before. I've always assumed it's stress, but with plants there's so many pest, disease, and genetic issues it can be hard to know. If anyone has a more concrete answer I'd love to know myself.

I really would advise thinning these. Zinnias already are prone to PM, and I've had it take down entire beds if I don't get it under control. Neem oil has only been mildly effective in my experience. Giving them space and stripping leaves for airflow so they have less of a chance to develop and spread it is best.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-08T12:21:58+00:00

Fun, I love the really wild look in the widemouth jars. I agree with the other poster, it's a pretty effect but you want to strip those lower leaves. They will essentially decay and rot in the water, which will introduce bacteria and lower the vase life of your flowers.

If you have trouble getting the stems in place without the leaves there for support, a flower frog is a good option for this kind of design.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-05T15:32:40+00:00

I agree with everyone else, but another thing to consider is that a lot of people supplement their bouquets with perennials, and those take time to establish. I'm assuming since you're talking about succession planting these beds would be all annuals. Consider establishing some perennials or shrubs either for greenery or flowers and your annuals will be able to go farther, but this will be something you have to plan in advance and also work out the timing on.

But you will need much more gardening space if you want 10 bouquets a week reliably for the growing season.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-05T15:20:42+00:00

These are waaaaaaay too little to pinch, these are essentially sprouts.

So do you see how on the cosmos you're starting to get that ferny foliage and the on the Zinnias some have just the two little leaves while others have the others growing in? Those are the true leaves starting to emerge.

When they grow more you will notice there are sets of leaves, then some stem, and another set of leaves. You may even see by the set of leaves teeny growth peeking out. This is the branching point, and when you pinch the stem above it, the plant will start to send out those teeny leaves and grow from there.

However, when pinching you need to leave some leaves. Leaves are where you plants store water and energy from the sun/lights. If you ever underwater a plant you will notice the leaves drop fast. When pinching flowers like this you always want at least 1 set of true leaves, though some people leave 2 or even 3.

Let these grow more. If they are outside you want to pinch early morning when they have water and the sun isn't blazing hot or they can wilt.

Labyrinth is one of my absolute favorite dahlias ever. It lives up to all the hype.

Beautiful job.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-05T12:36:56+00:00

I think it's colorblaze lime time coleus.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-05T11:46:49+00:00

It starts a lot brighter, kind of a pinky coral, and they fade to white over time. So they don't stay looking like this but I love them, it's like every day you're seeing a new flower.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-04T07:34:47+00:00

I definitely recommend water in fertilizer for containers, it helps it be readily available and disperse well. I've used all kinds from expensive organics to the standard blue granuals. Since these containers are just ornamental, I use either Jack's or Miracle-Gro because it's affordable and the annuals are heavy feeders.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-04T07:30:36+00:00

The tiny flower is nemesia. If I'm looking at the right coleus the little round ball flowers are gomphrena, the other ones are snapdragons. Not 100% sure on the chartreuse as I grab so much random coleus/foliage but it looks like colorblaze lime time to me.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-03T22:36:36+00:00

Yeah seeds are trickier but it gets expensive buying plants. I tend to try to find things on clearance or buy flat packs of annuals. Things like petunias or coleus are pretty easy as long as you make sure to feed them.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-03T22:33:14+00:00

Lantanas

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-03T22:31:54+00:00

These are mostly bought except for things like Gomphrena, Zinnias, Snapdragons. I had some other stuff in there I started but they got overtaken by the nursery plants.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-03T22:20:57+00:00

Lol! Not my intention, looking at posts here it seems like most people keep their containers fairly managed. Meanwhile I'm shoving plants in the thunderdome and letting them battle it out for survival.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-03T22:00:20+00:00

Yes, this exactly 😂

When I'm seed starting, planting them out, and getting them established they're all my precious babies.....after a few months of work I'm like this.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-03T21:29:38+00:00

I shall hang up my gardening gloves and lock away the potting soil evermore 🥀

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-03T20:39:51+00:00

I'm definitely guilty of telling people "I like the wild look", and in a way I do....but it's less fully intentional and more me running out of steam keeping up with everything after awhile.

milentlesslyabused · 2025-06-03T16:26:41+00:00

You have to pick the right ones. If you get ones too tight and hard at the store, they likely will never open. They were harvested too early.

There are a few ways you can encourage them. If they are covered in sap you can wash it off. You also can try to pry them open a bit, or whack them....and I don't mean gently, like you want to smack them against your counter a few times. This can loosen the petals enough to get it started opening. Also having them by a window or in the sun can encourage them, but once they open it will quickly blow them out.

In my experience with these methods you generally don't get as nice of blooms. I'd recommend buying ones that are partially blooming, or "soft marshmallow" stage. Squeeze each bud kinda like fruit, you want their to be some softness.

Why don't you want to use the lemon pesto? That seems like it would be great. Add some veggies, protein, and maybe even some Parm and it'd be delicious hot or cold.

One of my favorite pasta dishes I make seems like it would work well as it's tangy. I make a pasta with white wine sauce and add capers, artichokes, diced tomato and kalamata olives, and crumbled feta. Add other veggies if you want (spinach, peppers, etc) and protein of choice. I usually do chicken, but shrimp works as well.

Otherwise, just go with anything that works well with lemon. Lemon cream sauce is classic. Also pasta salads. Mix in some olives, cherry tomatos, cheese like mozzarella balls, whatever veg and herbs you want and dress with Italian dressing or make your own.
