🐣 Her babies are starting to hatch!
(Sound up wait until the end)
A little reminder that what is now won’t always be. 🌱
🌻 Does anyone remember last year when hundreds of of our procut sunflowers got eaten by the deer? I was depending on those flowers!
🦌 And now, I’m so proud to say we’ve been eating the meat of Tristan’s first kill from our property!
Here’s a throwback to how hunting with Tristan began. It cracks me up every time, and I have to say, my husband’s patience through it all is truly unmatched. Tristan couldn’t grasp the importance of being quiet while hunting, but this past year he vowed that he’d shoot a deer after all our sunflowers were in shambles!

🌸 Behind the Scenes of a Micro-flower Farm! 🌸
The least glamorous part of growing cut flowers? The HOURS I spend behind the computer planning, researching, and scheduling every little detail. But once it’s done? It’s pure magic! ✨
I break everything down week by week, month by month, cross-referencing my 16 rows of flowers to make sure everything gets planted, tended, and harvested at the perfect time. And just when I think I have my plan set in stone… those seed catalogs show up tempting me with new varieties! 😅🌱
Check out this video for a peek into the process! 🎥💐
👇 Tell me—are you a planner, or do you prefer to go with the flow?

Praying Mantis Takes down Hornworm
We believe it to be nonnative praying mantis (Chinese mantis). However, how cool is it to watch it take out a hornworm that was on our tomato plants. You could easily see the importance of having beneficial (native) insects in your garden to help balance the score. Insecticides kill the good guys, too. #growyourownfood #hornworms #prayingmantis #beneficialinsects
Probably get all the weeds pulled by the first frost 😂. We’ve learned so much in just a short year though! Already dreaming of next season! #cutflowers #cutflowergarden #growyourown #gardening
I know I sell flowers, but I want you to know you can absolutely grow flowers, too. It doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive and kids can even do it! This has an immediate and important impact for pollinators! Join in the chaos, have some fun, and never take yourself too seriously! #chaosgardening #growyourown #pollinators #cutflowergarden #homestead #zinnias #bachelorbuttons #sunflowers #freerangekids
Let’s pray that this cultivated flower garden does its job. I would say there’s blood, sweat, and tears in this garden, but it’s more like burns, sweat, and tears! #flowerfarmer #farmher #cutflowers #gardenlife #grownnotflown #fieldtovase #homegrown #gardening #blowtorch #homesteading #smallbusinessbigdreams #womanownedbusiness
