Bouquet of the week! This weeks flower subscription for a very special person ☺️

I’ll be having weekly Dahlia subscriptions starting in late August! More details coming and msg to claim one. $100 for 4 weeks of dahlia bouquets in a quart size mason jar! Similar to this one but with more dahlias

22/07/2021

Celosias are coming in hot and some new Dahlia varieties I purchased this year are starting to bloom! My Dahlia collection started with 8 plants in 2019 to over two hundred plants and more than 30 varieties 😳🤗 I definitely am a Dahlia addict but I’ve been trying to limit myself to 10 new varieties per year lol

This is my first year attempting to hybridize dahlias. I’m pleased with the results so far and can’t wait to see what new creations will bloom this year. I wasn’t trying to breed show dahlias or the perfect variety, I just wanted additional dahlias for cutting (and a new hobby that didn’t involve breaking my body lol). I was
starting to get frustrated last fall because it’s very intricate and my eyes and brain were frazzled from hand pollinating the blooms with a paint brush. And keeping track of what’s been crossed/not mixing up the brushes with pollen on them, going from a bloom on one side of the farm and then to another on the opposite side of the farm and then back again while fighting off the bees to make sure they don’t cross pollinate while I’m trying to do their job 😭 ANYWAY, it was worth it and I’m hooked!!

Last year I decided I wanted some early summer colors to compliment the mural and I love how it turned out! I have one spot left open for my cut flower share - The Classique edition. $180 for 8 weeks of bouquets from July thru October, starts next week July 7th

The Dara, Larkspurs, and most of the cornflowers survived the heat! Not so much with the sweet peas (who don’t like the heat AND their irrigation wasn’t working) 😢

Got a couple dahlia harvests in before the freeeze. In my rush I forgot about the Cafes and Bridezillas in the other plot 🤦🏻‍♂️

I started eighteen dahlias from seed this year and decided to save the tubers from this cute lil collerette dahlia. It almost didn’t get in the ground because I never had time, so I’m glad it bloomed before the frost

21/10/2020

Once again, I always like the ones that are quickly thrown together from the leftover blooms. Maybe I’ll harvest less next time so I don’t have as many to choose from 😂 Planning on getting one more harvest in before the frost this weekend

Harvesting sweet peas

11/06/2020

Various stages of progress on the dahlia area from late May to June 1. Finally got all the tubers in the ground! I planted some in April, May, and June, so that I will have a steady late summer/fall harvest. Hopefully I’ll have dahlias starting in mid July 🤞🏼Thanks again to for use of the land, and to my intern

Thank you for letting me use your plot this season!! Got sweet peas and ranunculus in today.

Last year I only got one Upo, so did some w/Sunflowers and nasturtium to bring the pollinators and provide trellising than last year! Next year I just gotta get it in the ground much sooner
