While I’m laid up after heart surgery…at least I have time to start planning my garden this coming year! I have 3 different CSA subscriptions (3-weekly Tulip bouquets, 6-weekly Summer bouquets, and a 4-week late Summer Dahlia bouquets), the Farmers Market, and a couple weddings to do this Spring-Fall!! Already have my seeds, and have plugs ordered for planting early April! I’m home healing…so DM me if you have any questions, interest, or even ideas for this or next year’s offerings!! 💐

RANUNCULUS…one of my favorite flowers!! These little beauties are better in cool weather and stop flowering and go dormant once temps get over 70 degrees consistently. Starting them now in early February seems to be the best time for me to start them to get the most out of them in spring! They grow from “corms” which look like mini octopus. They need to be soaked in water for several hours then presprouted in a cool dark place for a few weeks before planting outside. Once planted outside they do need some protection from the elements, so these guys are a labor of love! I think they are totally worth all the effort!! #flowerfarmer #chickendreamsflowerfarm #ranunculus #growjustforlove

A little doggy playtime in the snow! Ted was outside most of the day! He is really a snow dog! #greatpyrenees #snow #playtime #snowdog
Ever see a chicken’s third eyelid? Chickens have a third eyelid, called the nictitating membrane, that protects their eyes from dirt and debris. Chickens also have upper and lower outer eyelids, but they aren’t meant for blinking. When a chicken is sleeping, the lower lid is pulled up to close the eye, but the upper eyelid doesn’t move much. Just a little chicken education for today! 🤣 #chickens #chickeneducation #flowerfarmer #chickendreamsflowerfarm

Great day for compost sifting
I keep a compost pile going in the chicken pen. In the fall it’s time to sift it and add it to the garden beds. Just using a broken door to an old chicken coop as a sifter. 🤷♀️ The compost consists of food scraps and old chicken bedding from the coop. Perfect for the garden!! #farminglife #usewhatyougot #nowasteliving #compost #flowerfarmer #chickens
Experimenting with starting some ranunculus in fall instead of late winter. They need to be soaked for 4 hours, pre sprouted for 2 weeks in a cool, dark place (I’m doing it in the cooler), and then I can plant them in the garden! They will need a low tunnel with protection all winter. We will see!!!
Always have your eye on the next season of planting!! Trying my hand at cool hearty annuals! Experiment time!! 🙌🏻#flowerfarmer #flowersubscription #chickendreamsflowerfarm
