You know you have a good boss when they book a flower bar for a Christmas party! I had so much fun working with this group and they all made such great arrangements! Thank you to @jacksonstreetprovisions for providing food and a great place have a party 😊
Getting into the Christmas spirit around here! 🎄🎁
Finn has been asking for months when we can put up our Christmas dog- his favorite decoration 🐶
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to decorate too, though 🙃 Christmas is my favorite!!
We’ve got some fun 🌸 decorations coming soon, stay tuned!
We finished the big feat of digging, transporting (I grew 75% at my parents garden space I use), washing, dividing, and storing the dahlias. Last dahlia jobs are to inventory the tuber quantities into my spreadsheet and update our website for spring 2025 sales. It’s a good thing dahlias are so beautiful, because they’re so much work!
We have lots of simultaneous projects going on during the fall and we are just trying to squeeze them all in as well as we can. Yesterday I finally got around to cleaning and storing the seeds I’ve been saving throughout the summer. I need to go out and do another big harvest of seeds this weekend as well. We will have some seeds to offer in the next month on our website so keep an eye out for the announcement! 📢 Here Finn is helping me with sweet pea seeds. He’s learning a lot about seed saving this year. I love being able to teach him the whole process of flower farming from sowing the initial seed, to then caring for the plant, harvesting at the proper stage for cut flowers, harvesting at the proper stage for seed saving, separating seed from chaff, and identifying viable seed to keep for next year. It’s a long process, but it’s worth it to be able to provide our customers with unique flowers for every life occasion 💕#flowerfarm #seedsaving #regenerativefarming #sweetpeas
New drying station set up in the garage 🙌🏼 this should allow me to dry more things more effectively than my half hearted attempt last year that blocked all of my shelving the front of our garage. This took me about 5 min to put up and $20. I’ve got some cute ideas for dried flowers coming in the next couple of months! 😁
9 trays of various things planted today. It felt good to get a lot of these little babies into the ground even though it’s a bit later in the season than I meant to have them planted. Lupine, Scabiosa, forget me nots, bunny tails grass, honeywort, bupleurum, and monarda got planted.
