What does a flower grower do in February? This is half garden plan/half vision board- full of all my hopes and dreams for the coming season. They are organized by theoretical bloom time and color, but you know what they say about best laid plans. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have grown many of these varieties before but added at least 7 completely new kinds to learn about and lots of new colors. Most of my garden mapping is pretty much done, but I still have to figure out the timing of how to fit all the seedlings/successions in my house. 😄. I also have several trays already started under grow lights in my basement which require almost daily attention. So I guess technically the season has already begun! 👩🏼‍🌾🙏🏻🌱💐

I was just scrolling through old flower photos, reminiscing about the warmth and sunshine of summer- when what should pop into my inbox but this amazing painting of my backyard garden by @wlwjsw ! I love it and it makes me homesick for colorful flowers, dirty hands and bare feet! Such a lovely surprise on this frigid night! (Original photo cred of my garden in summer’s peak goes to @artsyasian5 ).

Can’t get away from this color scheme. Also can’t decide if it feels more like winter or spring. 🤷🏼‍♀️ ❄️🍃🌱12 inch hoop, $35.

For some reason I’m almost afraid to use the flowers I have the least of! So they all ended up on this romantic half-wreath. Eucalyptus takes so long to grow- I’m not sure I’ll plant it again! The delicate dahlias and lisianthus are my favorite colors, coral and cream and white. 😍 Most of the flowers I grow just dry in my attic, but these few take extra care- being gently layered in silica beads. This little wreath (10 inch diameter) [edit] is sold!

Anemones and Ranunculus. 💖Unbelievably, these ugly, shriveled, little corms hold dazzling life within them. In fact, they have to be soaked for 3-4 hours but the water has to constantly be trickling in to provide aeration while they soak, because even while soaking they can’t be completely deprived of oxygen. Then they go into barely moist seed starting mix and under a grow light in my cool basement for at least 8 weeks, where they will begin to sprout and send out little rootlets. As soon as it’s warm enough, they will be transplanted out and protected with a double layer of frost cloth while they grow, and if I’m really lucky, well, swipe to see what we’ll have come May and June! I’m planting 2 successions and 4 times as many total ranuncs and anemones as last year, hoping to have some really lush subscription bouquets this spring!! 💖 💐 ⚔️

In March when the world was turning upside-down, I thought about just skipping the flower business this year and growing veggies for my family. But by then I already had flower seeds and seedlings and plans, so I decided to go ahead and grow lots of flowers, figuring people would need the beauty and cheer. It turned out that I wasn’t wrong. I’m so thankful for this small community of loyal followers and the encouragement and feedback you all give. I’m already looking forward to all the new flowers I want to grow in the coming year!

Ordering closes at 5 pm for @5loavesfarm Christmas market! Just a few mini-wreath kits and colorful dried flower bouquets left. Check out the link in my bio to order. While you’re at it grab some donuts and other farm products to #treatyoself! Pick up is on Saturday.

Every November I suddenly drop off Instagram for awhile. With the end of the fresh flowers comes the end of a frenzied season where nothing can wait because seedlings WILL die or flowers will FADE and everything must be done RIGHT NOW. Each year I strive to find the balance of mothering, homeschooling, and running this little business and each year I make progress in some areas while failing terribly in others. So this year I am not doing Christmas wreaths in an effort to be present with my family. (I haven’t even made a wreath for myself yet! 🤣)These pics are some of the joyful times (baking, sewing, hiking) we’ve shared amid many challenging times (as I’m sure you all are having) —Zoom hangouts that we wish were in person, hard conversations with family and friends about Covid and how to be to safe in these times, holiday meals that felt a little lonely and small. But still we are healthy and thankful! All of that was to say- that’s where I’ve been, and I hope you all are well! Oh- and the whole reason I got on here was to let you know I have a few mini-wreath kits and dried bouquets left. AND a few dried flower petal ornament kits! They are for sale through @5loavesfarm Christmas Market, and all profits go to support their work in sustainable agriculture for our community. Check out the link in my bio to order the last of the dried flowers and see what other goodies you can get.

How did I not realize before that mums have an amazing smell? It’s more the foliage than the flowers- anyone else ever notice this? I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to still be harvesting these. Got to hold onto every little bit of beauty this year.

Mini-wreath kits going out today. 🍁☺️These are the trial ones, but by next week I should have the proper size of boxes and they will be available for purchase! I’ve missed teaching classes this year but this seemed like a safe way to offer opportunities to be creative in these times. The kit has all the pieces you need to make your own mini-wreath, as well as a picture tutorial. I think they’d make a great activity to do with family over the holiday or you could purchase them as gifts! Right now I’m thinking to have three color options: summery mix (pink, purple, yellow,etc...) , autumn (red orange, golds) or Christmas (red, white, green, etc...).

Flash sale! (Reposting because these flowers deserve better photos than I took last night.) Enjoy the last of the fall flowers with one of these autumnal bouquets. The mums and ornamental kale have a great vase life so these should last awhile! $15 on the porch! Message me to claim one.

First year growing mums as cut flowers (not the same as the kinds you buy in pots for fall decorations). Probably the last? I guess you need a greenhouse to really grow these on a large scale because they don’t bloom until so late in the fall. 😞. It’s a bummer because they’re gorgeous and have an incredible vase life. But it was a fun experiment and maybe if I ever get a greenhouse I’ll try them again!
