And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” Matthew 27:29

Planting lisianthus ahead of this afternoon’s showers. Not gonna jinx it by saying they should be blooming in time for Mothers’ Day. 😉🌸🤞🏻

You’re still beautiful, January. Even in the killing cold. ❄️

It’s been a busy minute since I last shared a post. I appreciate that The Algorithm wants to be fed, but the introvert in me has been winning the arguments lately. The snaps are beginning to bloom though, and that’s worth stepping back into social media for a sec. They’re so pretty, and of all the flowers we grow they are far and away my very favorites. 🐉

The water shortage and our government’s failure to enforce the water treaty affects all farming in the Rio Grande Valley. Sugar cane is gone, and citrus is in a precarious position, but this is a crisis that affects all growers and all crops.

If you requested sweet-pea seeds, my friends from MI Academy have you covered. 🥰 Tom, Sam, and Bradley were in the shop this morning getting the seeds counted, packaged, and labeled. Thanks to their hard work, the seeds are ready to go for tomorrow (Saturday) morning from 9:30- 1 pm. They also helped me package the ranunculus corms for those of you that asked for some. I DO still have a very limited number left, so it’s not too late if you haven’t called dibs yet. 😉
On a personal note, I’m grateful for MI Academy and its staff and students. An organization founded by my friend, Linda Noell, MI Academy (Meaningful Instruction Academy) offers special-needs adults opportunities to learn and perfect basic life skills and to help others in the community. They regularly volunteer around Harlingen, and every other week I’m lucky enough to have them here at the flower farm doing everything from stamping flower sleeves to sowing seed trays to packaging up orders for customers. They bring levity and joy to this often stressful job, and I am always grateful for our time together. ❤️

And that’s a wrap! 💫 Summer Nights at WildAugust are always magical, and this summer was no exception. Thank you to everyone who joined us this season. Thank you for supporting our vendors, buying our flowers, sharing WildAugust with your friends, and spending your evenings here on the Market lawn with some of the Valley’s best musicians.
The Market returns to Saturday mornings from 9:30-1 pm beginning next weekend. We’re excited to welcome old friends, new faces, and hopefully some cooler weather. Thanks for loving our little flower farm, RGV. We’re grateful for you. ❤️

With so much love- Jennifer, Jimmy, Thomas, Bruce, & Inti.

See you next SATURDAY! 🌸

A centerpiece, please, but with a nod to the South Texas ranchlands in late October. 🌾

Flowers to honor the life of Charlene. The first time I ever fainted, it was into her office chair. She was the secretary at my elementary school, and her ever-present maternal cheerfulness was unwavering, even as my twelve-year-old self slipped into that chair, eyes closing as she cradled my bleeding left arm in her hands. She was unfazed by the incident, capably closing the wound with some butterfly bandages, continual reassurance that I was okay, and that gentle smile. She was always welcoming, always warm, always smiling. The world is dimmer today for her absence, but I am grateful that her hope in Christ has been realized in full. What a beautiful legacy of faithfulness she leaves us with. ✝️

Still feels like magic. 🌱

We had some really heavy rain come in with the cool front last night. My only concern when I heard it hammering on the roof was the marigolds. They’re so big and pretty right now, I was worried they might fall over and break. Happily, this morning found them looking perfect, and we were able to send an armload of them and some other fall beauties to for her darling little shop in downtown Harlingen. 💐

Throwback to a couple weeks ago when asked me to make centerpieces that were more foliage and texture than flowers and greens. Wild Alamo-vine seedpods were the *perfect* finishing touch for these little birchbark bowls. 🌾

Per usual I forgot to take good photos, so a parking lot snap with my janky iPhone will have to do! 🌿

It’s time for fall gardens! We’ll have veggie and herb starts at The Market at WildAugust tomorrow evening from 6-9 pm. What’s growing? Several varieties of tomatoes, squashes, basils, mints, pumpkins, strawberries, and more! Tag your gardening friends, please. I’m so behind on social media, and I completely forgot to post. 🙃🍓🌱🍅🫑🌶️
