My cute assistant has been helping me in the garden every night. He w**ds in his apron with a butter knife and takes payment in popsicles 😅

We are seeing some blooms and should see an explosion of flowers by July 🌸

The most fragrant bunch of flowers- garden roses and peonies grown in my landscape beds. My eye is twitching seeing that leaf with the bug holes but I’m working to let go of TRYING TO BE PERFECT ALL THE TIME 🤪

Our summer cut flower field is *almost planted- hoping to finish this weekend and will show off the progress. Soon….we will have bounties of flowers to share with all of you.

Got to go cut off that ugly leaf.

Impulse ordering more sunflower seeds to add to our summer lineup.

What’s your favorite? Light and bright or the traditional oranges?

I don’t know why I’m asking..I’m gonna get them all anyway (and then some…)

Plants are going in this weekend between the rain. We are trying a new planting method using plastic for w**d control with integrated irrigation
lines. I think we have about 1,000 in the ground out of 2,400 for this plot.
Pumpkins and sunflowers will follow in the coming weeks.
The chickens are on “bug duty”

Grow babies grow! My first spring seedlings are popping up and I’m dedicating myself to NOT LET THEM DIE before getting them in the ground this year.

My garden plan includes about 3,000 plugs grown from seed. For someone who has restarted the same load in the dryer 4 times this week…odds are not in our favor but I will persevere. I’m doing this for us!

One of the most exciting new additions to our hobby farm this season is the inclusion of these (and other) zinnias from Floret Flower Farm’s breeding program.

Floret, out of Washington state, has been developing a collection of common garden flowers in highly desirable pastel palettes not available elsewhere. After years of trialing and collecting seed they were released this winter to the public. You know we were waiting to order and got the goods for you!

What I love most about their program is that it focuses on developing varieties that are not able to be shipped. If florists and wholesalers want these flowers, they either have to grow them themselves or purchase them from a local farmer. In a country where nearly all florist and grocery store flowers are flown from overseas, this initiative to give local agriculture the “edge” is significant.

We are excited to offer bouquets that are unique, clean, fresh, and 100% local. Now…if we can get these seeds to bloom without killing the seedlings 😵‍💫
