Alright guys, I have to admit that I’ve been a bit lazy lately (and I might even like it 😉), but time to get some work done in the peonies so we can have more beautiful blooms in the spring. 🌸

I’ll be removing any of the old foliage from the peonies and fertilizing them.

They are such a winner as a large focal flower and I gotta give them some love!

Can you see the 🫶🏻?

This darling gold pot will be the first vessel in the Valentines lineup. ❤️Valentine’s Day is one month from today!!

This year I’ll be emphasizing the FLORIST in my farmer/florist title and offering a few different arrangement options for my local flower lovers 💕💐

Tag someone who may need a little heads up on what you’d like for Feb 14th.

I’m lying in bed with all the cruddie little germs 🦠and my mind is cheering me up by thinking about flowers!

I’ve decided to try something new by taking off my grower hat and putting on my florist hat for Valentine’s Day 💕

This year I will have special arrangements for February the 14th, so file that away, share with your other half that might need a hint, and I’ll take care of the rest.

A little square of something pretty 🌸

I am loving the bright salmon colors of the Parkland Tribute dahlia.

Did I mention all dahlia tubers are 20% OFF 😁 for the remainder of the year (use code 2024 at checkout).

Peanut butter and jelly.
Salt and pepper.
Rose and allium.

I planted out my allium bulbs yesterday (the bulbs are teeny because I chose a darling little drumstick variety).

I knew that I wanted to plant the allium bulbs by the roses because there are so many benefits. Alliums are in the same family as garlic and onion so they give off a strong scent (I even caught a few whiffs of onion as I was planting the bulbs). The odor deters certain pests that damage roses like aphids.

Allium and roses also look quite nice together. 🩷💜

I’m settling in to hibernation mode where I get to calculate, plan, and scheme for what next year’s flower fields will look like.

Some things get X-ed off my growing list and I end up growing new varieties too. Even though I have lots of space I still need to narrow down what can fit into the rows.

If there’s anything extra special you’d like to see me grow let me know in the comments.🌱

A BIG THANK YOU for all of the support this weekend at the Echo Christmas Market. I always love attending this event, seeing familiar faces, and chatting it up with fellow flower lovers.

This event was the exclamation point to 2024 and I already have so much beauty planned for 2025. There are bulbs, seeds, and corms already planted and waiting to fill spring subscription bouquets.

Enjoy these fast moving days of December!🌲

Do you have your Christmas tree set up already?

I am so glad to have my tree with lights in the living and an evergreen centerpiece on the kitchen table. The birch bark vase gives such a natural look, the evergreen boughs smell wonderful, and dried flowers give a pop of color.

The centerpieces will be at the Echo Christmas market today from 9-4 ( ).

There are also other great local vendors to come see.

There is so much JOY to be found this season! The lights on our tree are permanently ON and there is nothing better in the evening than kicking up my feet in the glow of the Christmas tree lights.🎄

If you are like me your tree decorations are a combination of a mouse-fairy from 1991 and hand made popsicle stick ornaments made by kiddos. It makes a charming, cozy tree. This year I added a mini dried flower wreath to the bunch and it was just what the tree needed!

I’ll have lots of mini wreaths to be used as ornaments, place settings, gift wrapping, or decor at the Echo Christmas Market this Friday and Saturday the 6th and 7th

11/19/2024

I love working with fresh flowers in the spring and summer and I almost forget about the dried flowers until the cool weather this time of year. It is so enjoyable to be able to create with these vibrant dried flowers (and they last longer than fresh ones 🤫).

I’ll have these fun new dried floral wreaths at Flood Town Books this Friday (11/22) from 3-7pm for the shop local Pink Friday event.

Which one is your fav?

Save those orange peels friend because now is the time to get your home smelling like the holidays with stove top potpourri.

I love to toss in orange peels with cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, star anise, or whatever holiday-type spices are on hand (ground spices work too). If you are feeling extra festive you can add in an evergreen sprig.🌲

Just fill a pot with water, add in your scented goodies, and leave in on LOW. Then add water as necessary. Make sure you don’t forget about it completely (which I have done 😬).

It’s so simple and such a treat to have a festive smelling home with all natural ingredients.

AMARYLLIS!

These are the boldest most stunning bulbs to force indoors this season. They produce multiple large Cherry Blossom blooms and are easy to care for. Such a fun gift for a loved one (or yourself)!❤️💚❤️💚

Which is your favorite:
Gold, Trees, or Galvanized tin?

Amaryllis bulbs and other fun Christmas items are available on the website!

I know that the official beginning of the Christmas season can be a controversial topic, but I’m just saying Halloween is over, Thanksgiving is at the very tail end of November this year, and then BAM it’s going to be the finish line of 2024. So I’ll be sprinkling in some Christmas items over the next days and weeks.

Every year of my adult life I have forced paperwhite bulbs inside. It is just an absolute must for me during the Christmas season- like how fireworks go with the 4th of July. Here is what I’ll be offering this year:

⚪️Single paperwhite in a clear vase
⚪️Singe paperwhite in spotti white
⚪️Single bulb (for you to pot)
⚪️Galvanized Bowl filled with 7 bulbs
⚪️Wooden Box filled with 9 bulbs

I’m always available to message for an order, but I’ll also be Dec 6-7 for the Christmas Market 🎄

These little hands arranged the last flowers of the season to add some beauty to our home.

This week the big dahlia dig will begin! If you don’t know how dahlias work- they are amazing!! When you plant one tuber in the spring it will multiply so in the fall you can dig up a whole clump of 6, 7, 8 9+ tubers (kind of like a potato). The website has tubers for sale.

10/24/2024

Last flower order is scratched off the list for 2024.

Now it’s time for one of those bitter sweet things- ripping out all the flowers. Even though many are still blooming and beautiful, in order for me to prepare for spring and get dahlias dig up and divided, it’s time to say goodbye.

I’ll be saving the dahlia blooms, so the Farmstand will have dahlias by the stem through Saturday. Come grab literally the LAST blooms of the season!

10/23/2024

I put my one year old to bed and today she woke up TWO! This girl loves keeping up with her brothers and sister and might just have a wild streak. I love her so much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIVIAN!

Have you noticed how just getting started with a task is the hardest part? I know when I go to work out I’ll put up roadblocks like “you’ll have to change your shoes,” — way too daunting 🤣

Once I start a task it never winds up being so bad. I’ve been feeling like the long fall to do list seems overwhelming, but yesterday (during a nice long nap- thanks Vivi) lots got accomplished!

▪️All of the 400+ dahlias are labeled with their variety name on flagging tape.
◾️Hundreds of rununculus and anemone corms were planted for spring flowers
◾️Rows of the faded summer blooms were ripped out.

There is still plenty more to do. It feels so good to have made some progress.

Shout out to my crew of sidekicks!!

Today we delivered our LAST subscription bouquet for the season: we’ve covered a lot of miles, sung a lot of songs at full volume, and added a heck of a lot of crumbs to the back seat of the car 🤣

These kids truly are all stars when it comes to Tuesday flower deliveries. I’ve enjoyed our time cruising together, but I’m ready for the break that cooler weather brings.

I laughed so hard when I heard a lady refer to fall as mum-killing season (so true🤣). I am finally doing a much needed update to my ‘fall’ porch pot and filling it with evergreen boughs. Couldn’t be simpler and it makes outside a touch more festive! 🌲 Anyone else out there guilty of having a dead mum on their porch? #seedandtrowel #lexingtonoregon #easternoregon #oregonflowers #flowerfarm #evergreen #evergreenseason #deadmum #festive

Bulbs are all in (except a bag of allium bulbs that I still need to plant that I forgot about🤦🏻‍♀️). I think all flowers are cool, but there are flowers that are categorized as ‘cool flowers’ because they appreciate a nice cool growing season. Sweet peas are one of these. They can be planted in fall or spring. I notice that the seeds that I plant in the fall grow sooner and are hardier than those that get planted in the spring. So here is a reminder to plant those sweet pea seeds. There are some at Flood Town books and I’ll have some this Friday and Saturday at the Echo Christmas Market!🎄 #seedandtrowel #lexingtonoregon #bulbs #sweetpeas

Dahlia are a crop that gets attention every season of the year. Dug up in the fall, divided and stored in the winter, planted in the spring, and harvested in the summer. I’m wanting to share my dahlia processes with you. So here is PART ONE focusing on digging up the tuber clumps. P.S. I’m long winded and cropped some bits out. Thanks to Addie for being my faithful camera-woman and knowing just when to zoom in!! #seedandtrowel #dahlias #dahliatubers #dahliadigging #easternoregon #oregonflowers #oregonflowerfarm #flowerfarm

Quick little tip for snipping dahlias (and pretty much all cut flowers): go for LONG stems!✂️💐 Thanks to Addie for helping take the video 🎥 I am working to update all the dahlia varieties on the website so that by our ‘Dessert and Dahlias’ event on October 5th I’ll have everything ready to pre-order tubers. There are some stunning varieties that I’ve added this year!! If you’ve grown dahlias you’ll have to find some new beauties to add. If you haven’t grown dahlias then I have to warn you- it’s addicting! 🤣 #seedandtrowel #lexingtonoregon #easternoregon #dahlias #dahlia #upick #upickflowers #upickfarm

Fall Bouquet Subscriptions begin next week. You still have time to sign up and reserve some of the floral bounty just for you (or someone you love)! How do the bouquet subscriptions work you ask…. Well, let me explain: 🌸You choose either weekly or bi-weekly bouquet over 6 weeks 🌸I snip and bundle flowers just for you and if you live within the city limits of Heppner, Ione, or Lexington I’ll deliver them right to you. Tuesdays are bouquet days💐 🌸If you live out of town don’t fret because I also have pickup locations in each town (more info on website) 🌸It is pretty simple and the website is the place to go to sign up! (www.seedandtrowel.com linked in bio). 🌸 Last step is to enjoy your flowers!!! #seedandtrowel #lexingtonoregon #easternoregon #morrowcounty #bouquetsubscription #oregonflowers #flowerfarm #oregonflowerfarm

Thanks to everyone who came out today and supported us at the self serve U-pick! I truly enjoy sharing the blooms, being able to interact with you, and seeing how sweet everyone is with my kiddos. They love helping and even added some of their own products to the Farmstand. I know that today brought me a lot of joy and I hope it did for you too! 💐💖✨ Another great thing about today is that I learned that our special 22oz U-pick cups fit perfectly in a cup holder!!! 🙌🏻 #seedandtrowel #lexingtonoregon #easternoregon #upickflowers #oregonflowers #farmstands #flowerfarmers

Meet the Self Serve U-Pick Farmstand! Tomorrow is the first day 8am - 8pm (although I would recommend coming when it’s cooler for your sake and the flowers 💐🥵💦). There is also a page on the website with more info! #seedandtrowel #lexingtonoregon #easternoregon #upickflowers #upick #upickfarm #oregonflowers

Make a bouquet with me (and Vivian😁)! The secret ingredient to all we do is LOVE. All our blooms are grown, snipped, bundled, and packaged with LOVE. One really sweet thing about being a ‘flower lady’ is that I get to connect with other flower lovers and learn their favorite colors, textures, and varieties so I can make bouquets up just for them!💐 I’d love to make bouquets for you as well. Late Summer Bouquet Subscriptions are still available. #seedandtrowel #lexingtonoregon #easternoregon #bouquet #flowerbouquet

This has been an emotional few weeks for some of our crew. We’ve said goodbye to five of our seven baby goats. The stalls that the goats hung out in were literally bouncing, springing and twirling with energy. Now them seem so quiet. We also said our forever goodbye to Tikka. The almost 16 year old German Shorthair dog. She was Josh’s dog when I met him and we joke the she got demoted as we were married, had one kid, and another, and another, and another. She was the most mellow dog and that old girl loved sunbathing, chasing squirrels, and bacon!! She is missed around here. #seedandtrowel #lexingtonoregon

Peony season is finally here!!! 🌸🩷🌸🩷🌸🩷🌸🩷🌸🩷🌸 #seedandtrowel #lexingtonoregon #peonies #peony #easternoregon
