Another new dahlia from seed!

First dahlia from seed this season. Growing them from seed is fun since you never know what they will look like until they bloom. What do you think?

We're doing lots of seed starting these days. This is a recently germinated eucalyptus seedling. It will grow to a cuttable size by fall and into a small tree that has to be cut back by its third year.

Everything is under cover for the next few cold nights. Since these poppies are native to Iceland, they don't mind the cold and will be flowering soon.

We are on vacation until mid-month, but so excited about what we have in store.

This is the last week of our Lily bulb sale. Orders placed by Thursday can be picked up on Saturday or will be delivered next week. The right time to plant!

Peony watch has started. Buds turn to blooms quickly. We remove the sidebuds so the main bloom on the stem gets all the energy, making the bloom bigger. Possibly by Easter but not likely. Even so, miracles happen.

03/24/2023

For all my gardening friends, we have a limited supply of lily bulbs available for purchase. Sale is for two weeks only, so please don't delay! Farm pick up and local delivery only. More information on our website.

We've covered everything we can in preparation for tonight's freeze. For those getting subscription bouquets today, we added blueberry blooms from our bushes since the flowers will be gone tomorrow. This is a tip I learned from the good folks in Comer Ga. Waste not want not.

Hello Hellebore! And so it begins...

01/19/2023

About 75 interested parties came together to discuss commercial flower growing in South Carolina Yesterday and I was glad to be among them. We also had flower farmers from the upstate, the midlands and the low country and some who are considering flower farming. I had the pleasure of seeing some fellow flower farmers in person for the first time since Covid. It was a great meeting.
