Tulips on my mind!
Now that the holidays are over I can't wait for winter tulips!
This evening I got to harvest flowers @wildmoonflowers ! It was so beautiful. I am gathering flowers for the @scmmakersmarket downtown this Sunday 10-5. I will have a flower bar with so many beautiful choices! Come visit!

The October heatwave is causing some problems. The flowers I just harvested and arranged last night didn’t survive the night. I thought I would be able to keep them alive by turning the air conditioning up but that couldn’t even save the newly harvested flowers. Between COVID, fires, smoke , and heat this has been an interesting year to be a first year flower farmer. #firstyearflowerfarmer #heatwave #santacruzflowers #stumblingnotfalling #learningthrough2020 #2020 #benlomondflowers #slvstrong #happypatchflowers
Just when you thought things couldn’t get more strange in farming, the sky today is thick orange from all the fires across California. Our local fire just a few miles away it’s almost completely contained, however there are so many other fires raging across the state. Between the heat of the past few days that has reached up to 116° and the fog that has rolled in the smoke and ash has gotten trapped in the air. It Is eerie when the nighttime animals come out in the middle of the day because they think it’s night. #firstyearflowerfarmer #firstyearfarmer #nofilter #orangesky #californiafires #benlomond #slvstrong #2020 #tryingtostaypositive #happypatchflowers
