FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!!
Ever wonder how an OCD flower farmer organizes her seeds? Today’s your lucky day! 😂

I use a photo organizer to group similar seeds and then add colored stickers to denote if the seeds do best when planted in the fall (orange), winter (blue), spring (green) or summer (yellow).

And just like that, the final Fall Flower Pack delivery + 1 donated bouquet have gone out the door and it’s time for a short fall break 🍂 and we prep for hosting Thanksgiving next week!

11/20/2024

As we approach the holidays, there are a ton of ways you can help without spending money!

The easiest way: like, comment on, &/or share posts to increase their visibility. The more attention a post gets, the more the algorithm promotes it.

… Or you can always and perhaps by a spring bouquet pack from your favorite local flower farmer 😉

I finished planting all the ranunculus yesterday and can’t wait to enjoy these beauties again in the spring 😍

Can you tell that I couldn’t pick a favorite 😂

11/18/2024

I DID IT!!! 🎉🎉🎉 In less than a week I moved 6 cubic yards aka literal crap tons 🥁😉 of compost! 💪

It took roughly 100 trips back and forth with the wheelbarrow to move the 3+ tons but I am so incredibly proud to say I DID IT!!

Now on to the mulch that’s going to be delivered tomorrow 😛

11/14/2024

Another subscription delivery day coming up tomorrow!

I am terrible about remembering to take pictures of Friday’s bouquets and almost never post them because of 😅 but ICYMI: I offer delivery or pickup on Fridays too!

It’s gift giving season & I have the perfect gift for your loved one who “doesn’t need anything.” A bouquet subscription from your local flower farmer will be their favorite gift this year! Don’t believe me?

It’s another subscription delivery day!

11/11/2024

It’s crunch time! We got 6 cubic yards of compost delivered last Thursday and I’ve managed to move & spread ~2/3rd of it. 💪

Over the weekend, I also planted 8 peonies, 100 daffodils, and 300 ranunculus. (Just don’t tell my body that I’m only half way done) because I’m POOPED! But at the same time, so incredibly excited for how beautiful this is going to be come spring! 😍

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY 🎉
I know it seems strange to be planting spring flowers in the fall (instead of in the spring)… But these sweet little seedlings grew on their own from spring plants that dropped a few seeds! This is an amazing sign from nature that now is the best time to plant so they can get established over the winter and have a head start in the spring.

(Pictured is Cerinth aka Honeywort)

I’ve posted about beneficial insects a few times but this is the first time I’ve caught them on camera! Here’s an “assassin bug” saving my roses from an evil cucumber beetle 💪

11/06/2024

Well this Mahogany Splendor Hibiscus proved me wrong 😂 … Many of yall asked if they bloom and I confidently said ‘No, they’re just grown for the pretty leaves.’ It turns out they have gorgeous deep red blooms too! 😍

11/05/2024

Another flower delivery day!

11/04/2024

Weekend farm chores update:
Before the rains, I pulled out most of the gomphrena bushes (which were being attacked by bugs anyway) to prepare them to dry over the winter so I can turn them into dried flower bouquets like this cutie from last Valentine’s Day 😍

11/01/2024

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.” 🧡

More history here: https://dbg.org/how-marigolds-became-a-symbol-for-dia-de-muertos/ 💛

10/31/2024

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!! Even though Basil season is almost over, I wanted to share this neat trick that works on many plant / flower varieties:If part of your bouquet gets droopy: 1) Heat up some water to boiling or almost boiling 2) Put the stems in the water but try to keep the leaves etc away from the steam 3) Wait until the water reaches room temperature and VOILA!

“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.
