    #350: Why Grow Annuals? (Encore)

    I stumbled into growing annuals. I initially began planting perennials, but I quickly saw the error of my ways - I was going to run out of space, QUICK! As my business was gaining more demand than flowers I had-- I became a little crazy figuring out how to make the most of my total property of 1.17 acres that also had my home and outbuildings. I already had a nice stand of hydrangeas in our landscape and thought-- bingo, use it all. But then I needed a consistent supply-- I didn't see it yet but annual plants were knocking down my door. Then I got it! To maximize my space and to have a consistent supply I needed annuals. What I discovered along that journey is that annuals are the perfect fit for the small-space flower farmer. It's the recommended way all farmers get started to learn how to farm, maintain, seed start, harvest, and find customers: Low investment,Max production small space,Constant ability to change up-colors & varieties,The annual system has been so misrepresented A little-known reality of the "Annual Farmer" is that this style of farming can become an asset to your home. I could literally stop farming any day, plant trees or grass, and call it a life well lived.
