Crying and praising God while you showed the cars just coming in non stop - we serve an AMAZING God!! So excited to see the blessings pouring in! Eph.3:20 ❤️

Yes! I was praying and thanking the Lord and asking that He continue to bless them all! I’ve have been so blessed by them and learning so much.

Very excited for a good start to the selling season!! Cant wait to see how this year goes for y’all 😁

I’m glad y’all had an amazing opening day! I pray todays sale goes even better! Keep doing a great job!

Great day!! So buying in stock seems to be the magic sauce. I'm learning that cash flow is so important to a successful nursery. I guess growing everything out yourself would have you chasing your own tail. I love your business model and it will help me in my retirement nursery. Thanks Odoms! Have a wonderful Resurrection Day!

Wow. Look at all those cars. Thats the life of a nursery. Glad you have that wholesaler delivery to replenish what is sold. Hope you took suggestions for new plants for customers. Yahoo for a good learning day and a success. You guys will be fine. 👍

So proud of ya'll and all the hard work you put in to making your dream come true. Each year will get better and better.

I'm so glad you had a very good day. When things happen that are not so good I just tell myself to deal with it get over it and move on. It's just not good for you or your health to stress or Brew over things we cannot change or fix. Tomorrow will be fantastic.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hooray! So happy for you! Mrs. Odem, you’re so cute!

I learned .. the hard way... flowering plants do not like the cold and even under 60 degrees they can be damaged. So now I do a nightly cover using Plant Cover Freeze Protection cloth. Can't trust the weather. Considering it's only March/April.. we still get frost even after the frost date.

Sounded like a busy but a great day! Congratulations to you all!

Congratulations 🎉 I wish you and your family all the best for continued success, you have earned it! 🍃🌸🇭🇲🦘💚

Y'all do Crazy well!! I'm so happy it went so well!! Blessings ❤

Best wishes to you and your nursery

Congratulations! An idea, if you get to keep those racks the plants came in on, if you are going to potentially have a frost, put the annuals in the carts and wrap them in plastic overnight. I’ve seen a nursery up here in Michigan do that to save the plants.

I’m glad y’all had a good opening day

Congratulations on a successful opening day!! Hope you have a great season!

If you water your plants in the afternoon giving them a good drink, then cover them with frost cover, they should be fine. Also, Google your average last frost date, that should tell you how long you need to cover the plants at night. Just put in your zip code and average last frost and Google will tell you. You could start a sale tent for the ones that get damaged... Sounds like you had a wonderful Good Friday!

Congratulations to you all , so excited for a great season!

Hi Craig . My partner and I wanted to say how much we appreciate your videos. We feel like you and your family are our friends. The practical advice has helped a lot as we are now making our first attempt at making things to sell this spring. We look forward to seeing how you do this season. Cheers, John and Debbie, Nanaimo BC

Great!! thanks for the kind words - all the best to you both.

That's great you're doing well ! Being honest you deserve it ! Honesty is a good thing ! And it's great that you share ! And thank you for sharing !

So pumped for you guys - the whole story just warms my heart ❤️

Congrats!!!

Congratulations!🎉 Everything looks wonderful. You set such a great example about the annuals getting frost bit. Hope your season is a huge success!

Congratulations!! So happy for you that all of that hard work looks like it’s off to a great start!!

Congrats on a successful opening and the hut looks fantastic!

Congratulations team Odem keep up the good work

Depending on the temps and specifics of the frost/freeze, you can turn on your irrigation and run overnight, or early early morning until the temps rise, and the running water prevents the frost/freeze from setting in. Cranberry growers and other fruit growers will do that.

Last night I was wondering how it went. So happy for you and wishing you a similar big day today 🎉🎉🎉🎉

The frost got some of the wife’s plants she had moved outside here in Missouri . Live and learn. Y’all are doing a great job, keep up the hard work. I have no doubt you will succeed.

Congrats on a successful 1st day.

Congratulations on your successful opening day!! God is Good!! I also have tears just listening to both you being so excited about your progress this past year and your love of plants!! Happy Easter!! Chloe - just remember that your little mistake may have been in God's plan to show love and kindness to that customer who may be experiencing something bad in their life. 💓

Would love to see a time lapse of one of your flower tables..: setup the cameras and show the flowers disappearing

Late frost in our area, the southeast, is the biggest nemesis to annuals and even perennials. I see a high tunnel in your future for annuals and overwintering perennials! Would love to have you come by our small nursery in western NC some time for a video! Give us a follow at Fed Cove Farm and Nursery

Congratulations on a good first day! It is nice to witness/experience the success of some of ideas you have tried fore the first time. How do you let your local comunity know about your season opener?

Sorry to hear about the frost damage. Life happens but you guys are taking it well. Congrats on you're first day and hopefully more success along the way. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful! Congratulations!

Great, best to you! It’s a matter of getting started and being patient. The reason we started our channel is because of channels like Craig’s, savvydirtfarmer. We can all learn from each other and we all grow different plants, in different parts of the country. We have links to several channels on our website as we could never cover all the information. Good to see different techniques too. We just love Craig and Casey’s story. Backyard to full scale nursery. Wonderful people, family and a never quit work ethic. We also have had the opportunity to buy some of Craig’s rooted arborvitae’s, we think it makes our nursery a little more Savvy! Lol

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the update! And so glad you did well....knew you would 🙂 Bummer about the frost, but as you said....that's life...and weather...and spring....Can't wait to hear how well today goes. And Happy Easter!

Congratulations, just keep going. God bless.

You are showing me the way. Thank you.

Congratulations 🎉 for a successful day. Praying for your strength too. It's definitely a lot of work to run a business!

Woo hoo, Congratulations

🎉🥳Bravo! So happy for you, your entire family deserves the success. And you've taught all of us living in the Southeast (Is Arkansas southeast? I'm in NC). Always put your row covers on at night UNTIL the second week of April because our weather is ALWAYS unpredictable, lol

Thank the Lord for repeat customers ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hooray for a great opening day! Also, your wife in the video was a great addition. She has a natural grace on film. I hope all of you take the entire day off after close today through Easter night. Even when launching a new business, take regular breaks for whole days. A few hours doesn’t cut it. Take entire days off to rest, do non-business activities and allow your brains to think about other things. Your marriage and family come first. Customers can wait and they will. They want you to succeed and so do I. 🙂 Congratulations to you all!

Congratulations 🎊

Nice work - excited for you guys

I am starting my own backyard nursery piece by piece at 16. The first I did was buy 3 green giant arborvitae so that when it comes to time to try and propagate they’ll be big enough. I swear they’ve grown an inch overnight, I just bought them yesterday

They grow like crazy - one of the good things about them. Great thing to get started on this at your age. There really is no limit where you can take it and how well you can do with it.

Congrats on your successful opening day. Hard work and planning creates success and you are an example of that, trying to do what’s right and a good sense of right and wrong sure helps. Don’t beat yourself of over the mishap with some of the plants, as long as you learn from the experience it’s all good.

That Holly is beautiful!

I think so too... but... in two days, have yet to sell even ONE.

Buy local! There is a multiplier effect of buying local. More money is spent and invested locally, and it repeats…

👏👏👏

Congratulations 🎉🎉 So exciting to listen to you share your first day. I love God's timing to provide abundantly for you when you lost or had damage to your stock. I especially like hearing you are now able to have stock delivered 🙌🙌 I am learning to buy in plants too. It's overwhelming trying to grow it all.🌱🌱🌱 Thank you, Craig and Casey. My family and I have modeled our business in your footsteps and even though it is a lot of physical as well as mental work, we know we are following close behind our Shepherd Who has begun this good work in us and you. May you and your family be blessed with a joyous Easter.✝️💜 🕊️

So excited to hear opening day was a great success! I bet today will be even better. Your hard work and faith in this adventure are paying off.

Glad it went well! Were those annuals grown in a greenhouse? if so anything under 45 can cause damage or stunted growth because they are not acclimatized to the cooler temperatures. Lesson learnt I guess - always cover just in case! Also another tip I learnt was applying water to knock off frost can actually cause more damage due to evaporation cooling! Its best to just let them recover naturally if they do get hit with frost unless you know exactly what conditions applying water will help in.

Well done! Check the Farmers Almanac for long term weather also local long term weather. Weather forecast in my area NY say we'll have cold weather almost most of April. I'm having to baby a bunch of my plant starts indoors. Things are getting out of hand. My cucumbers and cucamelons are already starting to flower.

Congratulations!
