FLOWER FACT FRIDAY and Happy Dia de Los Mu***os! 💀

Marigolds are central to Dia de Los Mu***os celebrations and date back to the Aztecs who believed the marigold’s scent could “lead souls from their burial place to their family homes.” 🧡

I’ve been stuck in analysis-paralysis trying to figure out the best time to plant my seedlings given the super warm October we’re having but yesterday I bit the bullet and planted out the ~100 toughest!

Keep them in your thoughts and prayers throughout the upcoming storms 😂
(But seriously! My poor babies are now at the mercy of the weather and the rabbits 🥺 I have no idea how moms send their kids to school/college; I would be a mess!)

+ A special thank you to bella_hampton_farm_foundation for their alpaca pellets which are going to help these babies grow big and strong over the winter! 💪💩

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!!
Now is the ideal time to “direct sow” (plant seeds outside) for early spring plants like Larkspur, Bachelors Buttons, Poppies, Orlaya, Ammi, etc.

10/24/2024

Seedling Update: Aren’t these just adorable!! 🥹 They’re ready to plant outside but I’m going to wait another week or so in the hopes that the next time the weather cools off, it finally sticks 😛

10/23/2024

Even though it still feels like summer 🥵, it’s almost the end of flower season 😭 BUT I have a few tricks up my sleeve for “A Year in Flowers” subscribers 💐 who will continue to receive fresh flowers throughout the winter!

There are only a few spots left so if you want to join in, be sure to sign up by the end of October! ⏰

Another subscription delivery day! I’m so glad the roses are back in bloom 😍

10/18/2024

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!
Did you know that it’s possible to literally have a green thumb? … Today they’re a bit more brown 🤣 but flower farmers strip the leaves off stems using their thumb & pointer finger to swipe down & remove the leaves. This often stains my fingers greenish-brown 😬

(Also Suns up, Guns up! 😉)

10/16/2024

I have THREE updates today (be sure to read to the end 🆓🌻🤫)!

1️⃣ I still have flower decorated Pumpkins! 🎃 Mini’s $12, Pie Pumpkins $24

2️⃣ I’ll be at the Castle Hills Farmers Market Sat, Nov 2nd 10am - 2pm. Mark your calendars to come say hi!
(and get some fresh flowers &/or pumpkins 😉)

3️⃣ UPDATE; these have all been claimed 💕
I have extra sunflowers! Some are a week old, others have been munched on by 🐛s but they’re all still beautiful and I don’t want them to go to waste! Comment below if you’d like free sunflowers! 🌻
(First come, first served, & pickup only)

10/15/2024

Another subscription delivery day!!

10/10/2024

I had another great farmers market this past weekend!

I’ll be in Castle Hills Nov 2 from 10am - 2pm but let me know if you have a market you love; I’d love to try out another one between now and Nov!

10/08/2024

Another subscription delivery day; this edition with pumpkins!!

10/04/2024

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!!
Did you know all parts of the dahlia are edible?

I haven’t tried them myself but the flowers’ flavor can range from “spicy apple to carrot.” And the tubers are basically potatoes! We’ve joked about using them to make ridiculously expensive specialty vodka 🤣

10/03/2024

Seedling update & ! The seedlings are coming along; aren’t they so cute?!? 🥹 I can’t wait until they turn into beautiful spring blooms!

10/02/2024

I had such a great time at the Farmers Market that I’ll be back this Sunday! 🎉 I’ll have fresh flowers and ALL. THE. PUMPKINS.
I hope you’ll come say hi!!

Details: 1500 Cross Timbers Rd, Flower Mound
Sunday, 10am - 2pm

PS - If you can’t make it; the pumpkins are also available on my website 😉

10/01/2024

It’s flower delivery day!! Today I’m delivering subscriptions, fall pack bouquets, and 18 blessing bouquets 💕

09/30/2024

The past week has been a whirlwind of farm chores! We:
- Project 1: Dug out grass for a new flower bed, amended the soil, added drip irrigation, planted some soon-to-be flowers & mulched
- Project 2: Burn holes in the w**d barrier (for October’s plant babies), fold up the w**d barrier, install drip lines, put the w**d barrier back
- That’s on top of harvesting well over 250 flowers, delivering subscription, & doing my first ever solo farmers market… I’m ready for a nap! 😂

09/27/2024

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!!
If you’ve been following along for awhile, you’ve noticed that I pre-sell Fall & Spring Flower Packs. In case you’ve wondered what that $ goes to, this post is for you!

Fall is actually one of the busiest & most expensive seasons because late summer through fall is the time to:
- Buy seeds, bulbs, etc. for the following year
- Pull out all the summer annuals
- Add at least 1” of fresh compost everywhere
- Add at least 2” of mulch everywhere
- Repair, replace, and add drip lines
- Plant 1K+ seedlings, bulbs, etc for spring
- Buy new frost cloth (and hoops to hold it up and clips to hold it down 😅)

… Send Aleve 😂🤣 my back hurts already just thinking about it!

09/26/2024

to last year’s Market on the Square. THIS WEEKEND, I’ll be at the Flower Mound Farmers Market (Sunday 10 - 2) with fresh flower bouquets & decorated pumpkins. I’d love it if you come say hi!!

“Turning over” the flower beds aka ripping out old plants is the hardest part of the job for me 🥺 I would much rather wait for the first frost to kill them so I don’t have to be the bad guy 😂

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!! Different types of insects pollinate different flower shapes. While bees do land on zinnias sometimes, they much prefer “shallow tubular” flowers like this salvia. 🐝 Butterflies are more likely to land on zinnias since they have a nice, open landing spot. 🦋

❤️🧡💛🧡❤️ #grownnotflown #texascutflowers #locallygrownflowers #flowerfarm #carrolltontx

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to our first ever pumpkin decorating workshop; it was a ton of fun and I can’t wait to do it again next year!

Quick Garden update: All the zinnia successions are going strong and the first two (which were planted in the spring) are now over 5’ tall (and I have a selfie to prove it!) The newest zinnias in the alley are HUGE and are starting to go in bouquets + we have our first Dahlia of the season & the spring seedlings are happily growing in the closet 😂

As the kids go back to school and we all think about starting fresh, let this mutated zinnia remind you that being different can still be beautiful 🧡

Thank you to my incredibly thoughtful sister who saw my video from last week and shipped me this AMAZING rotating stand 😍 no more awkwardly turning the bouquet in my hands, I’m fancy now! 😉😂 THANK YOU!!

One of the things that flower farmers pride themselves on & use to judge the quality of flowers is stem length. So let me just say that I’m super proud and excited about these flowers! 😁 The goal is typically 12-18” long stems but as a general rule, the longer the better! Longer stems make the flowers more versatile since you can use them in a wider range of vases or arranging styles and also show that you’re following best practices on how to farm flowers.

I may have found my new favorite song (turn on sound to heard it)! I hope that these bouquets bring joy & light to their recipients today 💕

Happy Summer Solstice!

Everyone gets a little bit of sunshine in today’s bouquets! PLUS: We finally have zinnias!! 🎉

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY! Let’s talk roses! 😍 Roses are actually the first flower I grew specially for cutting. Early on I would share them with my neighbors but had to warn them about the thorns. That’s when Lisa taught me that you can snap the thorns off! 🤯 Mind blown. …These days I use a (very thick) glove & do one long swipe down the stem to get most leaves & thorns off all at once but I still use this trick for the tougher thorns. (Turn the sound on for incredibly satisfying “snaps” 😉 )
