This was the first season that we got to create in ceramic pumpkins and wow was everyone happy!! How neat is it that they will get to make more pumpkin arrangements at home as we head towards Thanksgiving. No rotting, or oozing as the pumpkin gets old on your table. It was a win. Look at those beauties created today.❤️
Thanks to my friend at @merijoflowers for picking them up for me!! I am so grateful!!❤️

Everyday I find myself either running from the mosquitos or running from the rain. At least some beauty comes from it!

Even though our fields are only partially in bloom we still welcome upickers to enjoy the flowers and the peace. Today someone called it “flower therapy.” Yup that’s what it is everyday for me.As we wait for the rest of the field to come in to bloom, we also wait and hope to see the rest of you!❤️#flowertherapy #flowerparadise #michiganflowerfarm #clarkstonmichigan #lakeorionmichigan #oxfordmichigan #ortonvillemichigan michiganupickflowerfarm
Had to reshare this Japanese beetle reel as I go out to the field with my soapy water AGAIN!! Shhhh don’t tell anyone but I find drowning those suckers very satisfying😂🤪
Give me your best emoji if you are Japanese beetle predator!🙌

The first of the flowers have arrived. We never know when they will bloom and some are early this year to the party.
We don’t mind though! This time of year is the trickiest to plan out ahead of time due to weather. We just never quite know when they will arrive and pop!! I expect a few more varieties to join the party in the next week!
Who’s popping at your house in this heat wave?

Doing our best to keep it real and not be one of those fake accounts soo if you want to see the goods and the bass, you came to the right place. This spring we froze over 600 snapdragon babies. They are not coming back!! Our statice, strawflowers and lisianthus all took a huge hit from@frost before being planted. The verdict is still out but we planted them and I prayed hard while planting.
When it comes down to it we have a lot of human error and some of it comes from still both working full time jobs and not being here around the clock to keep an eye on everything. Other times it is just taking for granted mother natures power and how quickly she can shift in temperature.
We are life long learners and are here for the long haul.🙌
So killed any plants lately??

I’m obsessed with being successful at taking cuttings of my dahlias. It is a way to increase my stock and propagation just fascinates me! BUT I am so intrigued by it I struggle to wait long enough for things to grow. I found a solution for my impatience. The @root.riot cubes combined with clear small cups make it so simple to propagate and keep an eye on your cuttings. I am seeing growth pop through in as little as two weeks making small greenhouses out of my cups. Some cuttings take longer. They do need to be placed on a heat mat. I am also experimenting with rooting compounds verses nothing. We will see where that takes me.
Let’s talk about how this is better than what I did previously. In previous year I had potting soil in a tray that I attempted to continuously keep moist as the cuttings will only root in a moist environment. Then I would try to check on them and sometimes I would pull early and disrupt the process. This method allows me to peek on them through the cup and not disturb the possible roots growing. For the excited grower, it’s a win. 🥇. I am loving the root riot cubes. I will stick with this method from now on when propagating. They are worth the investment.
