The first tiny bouquet of the season, made from unexpected daffodils that came back from last year.

Sometimes the germination stage isn’t all that appealing. I want big colorful blooms & armfuls of flowers, but last year taught me that the hard work we put in now gets us to the end goal & I’m enjoying this year even more. Seeing the tiny plants grow and become distinguishable is very exciting. The process is part of the fun!

What are you growing this year?

02/27/2024

I checked out the garden today and we have some tulips of different varieties just starting to pop out of the ground! I’m overly excited to be able to collect armfuls of flowers again.

Picked up some gomphrena at Freedom Farms today for drying! We can’t wait to add this to the garden next year.

We have more flowers than we thought holding on & it’s almost the end of October! I’m enjoying making bouquets while it lasts.

A bouquet for my mama over the weekend.

08/17/2023

We looked around the house & realized we didn’t have any fresh flowers in it so we made ourselves a bouquet!

If you need a bouquet this weekend, let us know & we can arrange a porch pick up!

08/16/2023

We’re getting some pretty dahlias lately.

We’re not totally happy with the dahlia seed mix that we used this year, so next year we’re going to try buying tubers. Where do y’all buy your tubers from?

08/15/2023

All sides of a bouquet order from yesterday.

Who likes sunflowers?

We did not 😅 until we took a chance on these frilly sunflowers this year. By summer we ordered a ton more sunflower seeds in a bunch of different varieties to test out. They’re so fun to grow because they’re so big!

08/05/2023

Come see us at The Swissvale Farmers Market today from 9am - 2pm at Dickson Preparatory Steam Academy! We have bouquets, bud vases, & a baby that will wave at you as soon as you walk away.

Some wildflower picking at camp.

It’s fun to see how many native things we can find up here!

It’s also important to remember to be respectful of what you take from nature. We picked things from around the property, didn’t take much, & tried to pick the most spent plants so pollinators were done with them. In reality I wanted all of the native bergamot 😅 but nature will utilize it more than I will!

Side note, with all the flowers we have we’ve found that we don’t have big enough vases in our house! We found two great ones at a local to camp thrift store & we’re stoked about them. You can see one of them in the second image.

08/01/2023

We finalized our plans for our 2024 garden & expansion just in time for the Floret Flower Farm seed sale!

Even with everything organized, all of the tabs open, and moving as quickly as possible, we still kept getting kicked out of the order from things going out of stock. In the end, we only missed out on 3 things! We ordered a bunch of seeds from Johnny's Selected Seeds too, so almost everything on our wishlist is ordered!

What are you planning on planting next year?

07/29/2023

This tiger swallowtail was in our garden for a long time getting his fill of nectar from all of our plants. One of our favorite things to see every year as we expand the garden is what life it brings to our backyard. Our monarch is back, swallowtails, moths, lightning bugs, so many birds, especially cardinals & our hawk friend, mama deer & here babies, bats, uncountable bees & bugs.. the list goes on! The more wildlife we have in our yard the more affirmed we are that we’re providing something for our local biome. We’re already planning for next year’s flowers and how we’re going to add even more native plants to help our local living things. We can’t wait to see what next year’s garden brings, but for now we’re enjoying this one! . . . . #swallowtail #swallowtailbutterfly #butterfly #pollinators #pollinatorfriendly

Flowers are slowly showing up in our garden! The roses are taking off, coreopsis are abundant, Windsor sweet peas & linaria are small but starting to bloom. It’s felt like our seedlings have been growing slower than usual, but we feel a little better after seeing all of the Pennsylvania gardening pages filled with similar concerns. It’s been unusually hot & dry for this time of year so it’s affected a lot of our plants, but it’s supposed to be cooler & rain this week so we’re hoping they’ll start to really take off soon! Featuring the flower vase that Danny made me for Christmas a few years ago out of leftover conduit & wood from other projects. . . . . #roseseason #flowerarrangement #flowervase #diyprojects #growingflowers #floralarrangement #roselove
