Dreaming of daffodils! Scented and double blooming daffodils!

As spring starts in just around 6 weeks, daffodils will begin to bloom. These double blooming, lightly scented daffodils are beautiful in bouquets and make an excellent gift for friends as well as a wonderful treat for yourself.

Contact The Farmhouse Gardens NC for more information on when our daffodil bouquets will be available.

I have been reading about using Sheep’s wool along with seed starting soil mix and I wild like to try it. So I am trying to find a farmer nearby who may have some for sale. I live in Caldwell County, NC.

Does anyone know of a farmer whom I could contact?

Thank you in advance .

Good morning from The Farmhouse Gardens NC! Love the first snow that we received yesterday! The air feels so clean and fresh. I went out this morning to check on the horses, feed the birds and look for animal tracks in the snow. Looks like the rabbits had been having a party this morning!

I also checked on my perennial beds and the low tunnels to make sure the seedlings were still nicely tucked under fabric and snow. Everything looks great! Here are some pictures of what my flower farm looks like after a snow.

So what does a cut flower farmer do prior to Christmas that has nothing to do with flowers? Prepare sheep and cow headbands for the children’s play at church!

Ithink these turned out great! Can’t wait to see the kids wearing them tomorrow evening!

These faded zinnias aren’t that beautiful to look at now, however they are very attractive to birds who are looking for food as they prepare for winter months.

Goldfinches, cardinals, sparrows and towhees are some of the birds that love to snack on zinnia seeds while they are still on the flower before falling on the ground.

It is so enjoyable to watch the birds as they fly in and out of the garden enjoying their feast.

Remember, zinnia seeds only form after the flower has died, so you don’t need to worry about the birds eating these flowers while they are in their prime.

Zinnias are a beautiful and easy flower to grow. So think about growing some next year!

Ageratum, one of my favorite new plants! I grew it for the first time this year and it has bloomed since June! Looks great in bouquets and can be used as a filler flower or greenery! Next year I will be growing several more color varieties! Simply love this plant! 🪴

Stop! Let your flowers die naturally on their stems. The birds and insects will thank you !
