A few weeks ago we dug the Dahlias out of the hoophouse. Today we rinsed them off and will begin dividing tomorrow. Photos courtesy of Holly :)

I have been really quiet on here this past week because we have been buckling down with fall clean up. Last week Holly and I tucked 1000 little seedlings into the ground in the hoop and other protected areas. I mowed down the annual field and Alex got the Dahlias cut down today. I will get a soil sample sent off to see how we are doing. We still have much to do and plant but things are less urgent than they are in other seasons. I love this time of year. Shorter days means less time to work but supper is earlier which feels like a good change. Hope you are doing well out there. ❤️

🌷The Farm Shop is stocked with a few mason jars and pumpkins with a restock at 1:30pm. I am with Dahlia Deluxe Mason Jar arrangements, fresh Eucalyptus from the hoop house, and some dried flower goodies that would be great for display or your next flower craft. This is the last regular market of the season and the last day of the season for the Farm Shop for the season. ❤️

This weekend is the last weekend before the Farm Shop closes for the winter. Holly and I hustled to harvest the field last night before the sun went down because we knew the cold would wipe the flowers out, and it did. 😔 Tis the season of Frostmas. The Farm Shop is open tomorrow- Saturday 8am-7pm. Come catch the last fresh blooms of the season. ❤️

I just came back from an @ascfginc conference @clarajoyceflowers in Stockton Illinois near the Quad cities. If you are a flower lover (and I know you are ❤️) follow Drew and consider a road trip for one of his upcoming you pick events. His fields are jaw droppingly beautiful with Dahlias for acres yall! It was about five hours but the last 85 miles was all twisty curvy country roads through lovely little towns full of unique shops and beautiful architecture. I drove in at night and there is zero light pollution so you can imagine the stars with open skies. It was like driving through space LOL. I just enjoyed the heck out of it. I got to hear my friend and mentor Maggie @delightflowerfarm speak on "Growing Your Farm without Losing Yourself" and so many wonderful other speakers. I picked up different tips from more experienced growers and passed on some of my experience to new growers. It was hotter than the biscuits outside, but this flower farming thing makes my heart sing so it was all the way worth it. ❤️

🌷It’s Build Your Own Bouquet Day in the Farm Shop today and tomorrow. Take a tour with me.🌷2114 Freeburg Ave in Belleville. Pay by putting your money in the birdhouse or venmo SimpleGifts-FlowerFarm. Have a great Friday! 🌷

All hands on deck for some stump removal today. Brian started the project and with a little help from Alex and the tractor he got two stumps out. Woot woot!

🎄That is a wrap on our wreath making workshops! What a fantastic time I had with this fun group of gals Saturday @artgeckostudio ! If you would like a wreath, but were unable to get one, or make one, you can pre order them on our website for Holiday Market pick up @vinestreetmarketofallon next Saturday. I will have a few with me, but they always seem to go fast, so skip the worry and reserve yours today. 🎄

🌸 Happy Sunday! It’s Flower Bar day in the Farm Shop where you can build your own bouquet and enjoy a little quiet, creative, time. We are open 10am-6pm. Have a great one folks! 🌸

After I mow all of the birds rush to the scene to get newly surfaced bugs. The silver Guineas had me giggling tonight with all of their hopping around. 🤣
