#291: Lisa's 5 Tips in 5 Minutes
A quick little set of reminders for busy flower growers!
1) Weeds: You need a prevention plan, plus a plan to extinguish any that survive when they're small.
2) Succession planting: designate resources/time to getting those successions done, it needs to be a top priority.
3) Always be selling: be on the lookout for additional sales opportunities, putting feelers out continuously.
4) Don't run out of supplies: purchase with an entire season in mind so that you're not stuck waiting for something.
5) Do paperwork weekly: put it in your schedule weekly, as this task gets more overwhelming if you don't keep up with it.
