Hi flower folks! I'm emerging from my social media hibernation. Took advantage of having a slow period in terms of having products to sell to do a little social media detox, I was spending too much time scrolling and not enough time creating.
So, here's what I've been up to for the past month or so! We've constructed lots of new bed space, transplanted out all our seedlings which are now growing quite happily, I got to spend a week with my maternal grandparents who live in Ontario, which was an absolutely lovely treat, and I sent out wedding florals on the summer solistice for my first couple of the season.
That's the good. Now for the not-so-good part. Last year, I took a big gamble on tulips, ambitiously ramping up my production levels to nearly 25,000 tulips. Six thousand of those were planted in outdoor beds, and should have been in full bloom from the middle of June until right about now. But instead of being inundated with masses of flowers to bring to the Fireweed Market, I have had the financially and emotionally devastating experience of seeing a 99% crop failure. I'm still reeling a bit from this, but I wanted to explain my absence from the
All my transplanted seedlings are coming along nicely, but it will still be a while before I can be back at the market with bouquets for you all to bring home. I can't wait to be back with tables full of a rainbow of flowers!
Hope you're all enjoying the first month of the summer and staying safe amid all the wildfires that are burning across the territory and the country!
