September tones …even if the weather has other plans🍁

Hope you’re all enjoying the long weekend and haven’t spent all of it running around getting ready for back-to-school. Where did the summer go??!

I love making Minis. It always feels like an opportunity to play. Plus they’re just darn cute.

Harvesting this gorgeous bunch of Madame Butterfly Bronze snapdragons this morning almost made up for discovering that some beastie (I’m looking at you earwigs) has chomped the first dahlia of the season. Almost. 🤬😂

A little something to brighten up this rainy day. The specialty daffs have begun to bloom.

I'll have spring bouquets available this week. More info to come shortly

Some flowers to brighten up our writing practice corner at Rideau PS this morning. Sparked conversations with about bees, our favourite flowers & how grape hyacinths look like tiny little bells. Tout en français ❤️💐📝

Daffodil Watch 2023

The first daffodil opened late yesterday! We're always a tad behind out here on 15 away from the heat island effect

I suspect that it'll be at least another 1.5- 2 wks before I have enough for bunches

The highs forecast for the next 3 days will speed things along, but then we're back to more seasonal temps

I relish these first glorious warm days as much as anyone but as a gardener it makes me nervous!

When it feels like -39oC it helps to be reminded of what we have to look forward to ❤️💐

Stay cozy!
