Holy Hairy Vetch!

Typically used as a cover crop to add Nitrogen to soil, prevent erosion, and block out weeds.... but today we're attempting to use it as bouquet filler because it's so gorge how could we resist?!😍💐❤

Another winter sowing success!! If you guys haven't tried this method you should definitely give it a go. It's basically making miniature greenhouses out of plastic jugs. Super easy and cheap way to start seeds if you don't have access to grow lights, direct light indoors, or extra space. We started with roughly 10 different perennial varieties this Winter and they've all germinated into little baby plants that are almost ready to plant.❤🌱💐

How I pretend seed starting will go vs real life seed starting 3 days after the first pic was taken. A for effort, Mare!

Native perennial seeds and cold hardy annual seeds are finally planted and we can't wait to share our flower love with you all this growing season! 💐💐💐

A BIG snow storm is headed our way! ❄️☃️🌨
Did you know that you don't have to put off your seeding if there is snow on the ground? If your site is already prepped, grab your mittens and go snow sowing!

Winter, even when snow covers your site, is a great time to sow native seed. Planting now gives Mother Nature time to stratify seeds through natural freeze-thaw cycles. This stratification process is needed for most wildflower seed to break dormancy and germinate in the spring. Any day through early March on which you can walk around your prepared planting site with relative ease and comfort is potentially a great day to broadcast seed.

Flower Essences are a form of vibrational medicine. By placing the flower in fresh spring water and charging in the Sun for a few hours we can harness the essence or vibration from the flower and further preserve it by adding organic vodka, brandy, or vinegar to it. Taken by mouth in liquid form, these medicines are for anyone looking to re connect to the Earth energies that we co-exist with, but might find a little out of reach in every day life. 🥀

We've been waiting for this Purple Peony Poppy to open for the last week! Looks more pink than purple, but who gives, it's sooo pretty!!

Sharing again in hopes it gets shown to more of you!💐💖💐

Uncle Tony's gonna do a little demo!!(Heavyweights reference)

Poppies have a notoriously short vase life which is really unfortunate because they're such a beautiful flower. Thankfully we know a few tricks to help extend the vase life! Dipping the freshly snipped stems into 😱boiling water😱 for 7-10 seconds should at least give us a couple of extra days with these Amazing Grey Poppies. This is also how we get Queen Anne's Lace to perk back up after coming in from the hot Summer weather.💃

Good morning!! Since Facebook showed our last post to only 23 of you, I'm posting again, more pics of our Poppies that have started to bloom. They really are a magical flower.🦄
