EP 324: Uncut Week 44 Dahlia Digging + PJ Weekend + Field Notes
A mulch lifter meant for plastic beds unexpectedly helped lift dahlias—and gave these flower farmers a new way to think about getting tubers out of the ground. Lyndsay and Shannon swap notes on what worked, what didn’t, and why borrowing a neighbor’s equipment can be a smart way to test a big investment. They also get into the hidden costs of plastic, drip irrigation and transplanting; the spray-paint trick that keeps dahlia varieties sorted during digging; and the digital field notes that save them from losing hard-won lessons in coffee-stained notebooks. Along the way: fall marketing overload, a rare weekend of real rest, and a weather forecast that could shift tulip plans.Charlotte Smith application link- Profitable Farmer Scholarship - Pre-ApplicationGet your early bird tickets for DirtCon 2027 and learn more by listening to episode- EP 299: Inside DirtCon 2027Learn more about- Independent Farmer Podcast, Vitalize Seed Company, and Ampersand Bulb CoIf you want to dive in deeper with us each month, join our membership group - The Dirt on Flowers Insiders!

EP 323: Listen to this Before You Order Seeds
A crop can be beautiful, beloved—and still not earn its place on the farm. Lindsay and Shannon share how a look back at sales changed their growing decisions, including swapping rose lilies for standard lilies. They also unpack why Shannon’s customers couldn’t get enough of gladiolus—even when the first succession flopped—and why adorable Tweety pansies didn’t make the cut. Along the way, they offer a practical way to compare what you planted, harvested, and sold, so next year’s seed orders reflect your customers, your labor, and your actual business needs.Get your early bird tickets for DirtCon 2027 and learn more by listening to episode- EP 299: Inside DirtCon 2027Learn more about- Barn2Door, Vermont Compost Company, and Hunter Finn CreativeIf you want to dive in deeper with us each month, join our membership group - The Dirt on Flowers Insiders!

EP 322: Uncut Week 43 Frostmas + Jugglin' Babies + Holiday Fundraisers
Shannon’s farm crew turned Brian’s $88 Amazon ring idea into a real proposal—with local jewelers, input from nearly everyone he knew, and a soccer-game reveal. That’s just one of the season’s stories as Lyndsay and Shannon compare patchy first frosts, wrap up flower-market season, and share what’s next. They also get into a holiday fundraiser rethink that’s already drawing new customers to the greenhouse, why a simple change from “don’t take shirts out” to “please leave shirts in bags” worked, and the realities of building a farm business around family, capacity, and the occasional 1 a.m. bouquet session.Get your early bird tickets for DirtCon 2027 and learn more by listening to episode- EP 299: Inside DirtCon 2027Learn more about- Barn2Door, Vermont Compost Company, and Hunter Finn CreativeIf you want to dive in deeper with us each month, join our membership group - The Dirt on Flowers Insiders!

EP 321: Dirtbag Coffee Chat with 3 Porch Farm
Three Porch Farm was on the brink of collapse when the pandemic shut down its farmers markets—then shipping flowers helped save the business and opened up an entirely new model. On The Dirt on Flowers, Mandy and Steve talk with Lyndsay and Shannon about that pivot, why they walked away from weddings and summer crops that looked successful from the outside, and how sales data revealed poppies were their most profitable flower. They also share how Georgia’s heat is reshaping their dahlia plans, the practical trade-offs of farming sustainably, and the hard-won difference between persistence and simply refusing to change.Learn more about todays guest- 3 Porch Farm, Facebook, and InstagramEarly bird tickets available at DirtCon 2027 and learn more by listening to this episode- EP 299: Inside DirtCon 2027Learn more about- Heirloom RosesIf you want to dive in deeper with us each month, join our membership group - The Dirt on Flowers Insiders!

EP 320: Uncut Week 42 Frostmas on the Horizon + Wedding Recap + Spittoon
An update on the 450-guest wedding called for 23 dahlias in a single centerpiece—and cleanup revealed one very unexpected use for a flower vase. Lyndsay and Shannon swap stories from the event, talk through the exhaustion of an expanded dahlia harvest, and weigh whether to squeeze in one last flower-field sale before frost. They also share practical ways to make a self-serve flower stand more memorable, from kid-friendly scavenger hunts to a QR-code welcome video, and compare their very different approaches to wedding florals—like whether to dye carnations or order pricey orchidGet your early bird tickets for DirtCon 2027 and learn more by listening to episode- EP 299: Inside DirtCon 2027Learn more about- Heirloom Roses If you want to dive in deeper with us each month, join our membership group - The Dirt on Flowers Insiders!

EP 319: The Ripple Effect with Dan & Julia
A flower farm can sell out every week and still be making the wrong move by growing more. On this episode, Julia Shanks and farmer Dan Brisebois explain how to follow the ripple effects of a business decision—from added harvest and labor to market costs, profit, and time off. They share practical ways to track what a market actually costs, why an extra $20,000 in sales may not be worth giving up every Saturday, and how one farm chose to let some sunflowers bloom out rather than pay for Sunday harvests. It’s a grounded look at building a farm around both the numbers and the life you want.Learn more about todays guest- Julia Shanks, Danial Brisebois, The Farmer Spreadsheet Academy and Seed Farmer PodcastLooking for Dan and Julias book here are two links to do just that- The Profitable Farmer (NewSociety) or The Profitable Farmer (Amazon)Early bird tickets available at DirtCon 2027 and learn more by listening to this episode- EP 299: Inside DirtCon 2027If you want to dive in deeper with us each month, join our membership group - The Dirt on Flowers Insiders!

EP 317: Action Creates Confidence - DirtCon Tickets are Live
Ten years into flower farming, Lyndsay still has moments when she wants to throw in the towel—and Shannon admits a new greenhouse has her feeling unconfident, too. In this candid conversation, they get specific about what confidence looks like in business: hiring before you feel ready, facing the numbers you’ve been avoiding, and taking small steps that build trust in yourself. Lyndsay shares how struggling to learn a turkey call exposed a bigger pattern of expecting herself to master new skills instantly. Along the way, they explain why farming keeps even experienced growers feeling like beginners—and how DirtCon grew from their own willingness to take an uncomfortable first step.Early bird tickets available at DirtCon 2027 and learn more by listening to this episode- EP 299: Inside DirtCon 2027If you want to dive in deeper with us each month, join our membership group - The Dirt on Flowers Insiders!
