Best advice I ever recieved was from my Dad. He told me that no matter what, no matter how angry I may be, never ever burn a bridge with someone. Best advice to this day! Thanks Dad!

When the flowers outnumber the ability to harvest- don’t panic! If you have planted open pollinated varieties more often than not you can save seeds. I got so many Ocean Pearls Corn Corncockles last year I’m set for tons of future flowers!

Every stem counts! Especially when what you planted didn’t quite work out as planned.
