Questions & Answers

Q: What is the first step Bob takes on his flower farm each spring?

The first step on the flower farm is ordering seeds, which are small items that plants grow from when planted in the ground. Seeds need water and sunlight to germinate and start growing.

Q: How does Bob start the seeds on his farm?

Bob starts the seeds in trays filled with potting soil rather than directly in the ground. Each tray has spots for individual seeds, and once they germinate, they can be transplanted into flower beds.

Flowers need lots of sunshine and water to thrive and grow well. Bob uses sprinklers, drip lines, and an electric pump to ensure the plants receive enough water, especially during dry periods.

Bob takes his harvested flowers to the local farmer's market, where he sets up a booth to sell bouquets. Customers can see the displayed flowers with prices and make a decision to purchase.
