That’s a wrap, well it was a wrap from the beginning this year d/t fighting relentless weeds. This was my worst year this far but I did have some wins. These beautiful dahlias for example were some of the only flowers that survived after I mowed everything off out of frustration with the weeds. I didn’t really have a choice but to mow everything off, I didn’t want their seeds dropping and making it worse for next year. I will be back and we do have plans to fight those pesky weeds. I have already purchased seeds and trying something new this year with plugs (already established plants ready to go in the ground on their arrival or at least shortly after). I’m excited for next year. I have talked a little bit about collaborating with Tiffany and her cut flower garden and Dezaray at Three Roots & Blooms to bring you some fun flower filled events. This year was disappointing but I’m not going to let that stop me. This was the first year we had dahlia success so I look forward to bring those blooms to you next year with other flowers to go along with them! The Bloom Buggie is still here and we still have plans to fix her up to bring our flowers to a town near you. Thank you for your support and see you all next year!

27 dahlia tubers placed in the ground. About 20ish still in pots.

I might have went overboard with dahlias this year…. But I’m not sorry 😍(Flower Photo for example, it is not mine. )

We have done some work, but there's still more to do. We took off the side panels because of rust, wasn’t planned but better do it right now, instead of going back later.

Planning/organizing for the garden and flower farm of 2024! I have high hopes this year. Trying dahlia tubers again. Experimented with direct seeding last year. I learned that some things prefer to go straight into the ground and don’t like being started inside, which is less work for me! My father in law and husband gave me a nice base of compost on my flower beds and the pigs are turning up and fertilizing my garden… at least for a few more weeks. We put in new water lines so less hose dragging, yay!!

Lisianthus is first on the list to be started very soon. Then I will organize all the rest based on our last frost date. It’s not easy work but the view is worth it!

This plant grew randomly in the flowers…. I’m a sucker for letting things grow to see what they are. I didn’t plant it but the bees loved it!

Bees like pumpkin flowers!

Planted the Lisianthus out yesterday! These flowers can tolerate a frost or two and we have row covers if it looks like it will dip below 28. The weather focast is warming up! Summer will be here before we know it!! I know my family is ready!

This is why lisi has to start so early. It took two weeks to get to this point and it will take about 3 more months before they outgrow this cell pack. Weather depending they will go straight into the ground at that time. Then we wait another 4 months for blooms and let me tell you… they are totally worth it!❤️

It’s not the new year yet, but we’re gonna start anyways with lisianthus!
