It was a beautiful day in the greenhouse for our annual dried pumpkin class.

Thank you to everyone who came! Your pumpkins turned out beautifully.

The flower cooler has been powered down for the season.

This time of year is always so bittersweet. We have supplied Helena with fresh flower since March! That’s almost a full 8 months of fresh blooms!

It’s always sad to let go of the fresh flowers, but the seasons march on and we have plenty of work to do to keep us on our toes!

We are already prepping for our 2024 season. We dug our 800 dahlia tubers this week, planted 300 daffodils, 200 allium, 60 peonies and some cold hardy annual seeds.

Next week we’ll start planting our 16,000 tulips which is no small feat, but I know you’ll love them after we’ve had another Montana winter.

Cheers to you for supporting a small, local regenerative farm who has big dreams.

Some weeks are harder than others in farming.

How does the saying go…when it rains it pours?

Our cooler has broken down once this week, we’re supposed to teach a class outside tomorrow in what is forecasted as the hottest, smokiest day of the year, and we’ve been informed by our tulip bulb supplier that the worst bulb harvest in history has taken place due to the climate crisis. 😩

I allow myself time to feel all the feelings, and then just as farmers all across the world are doing, we pivot.

We had another magical evening in the flowers with the talented .

This photo was from last season. I really enjoy capturing little moments like this that -

a.) help me feel a little more glamorous and feminine than my normal sweaty dirty self

b.) to celebrate each season

It’s so easy to just put my head down and grind in this profession, but these photos help me pause, reflect and feel gratitude for each season I get to be a flower farmer.

Thank you, Kelly!

Week 4 of the CSA is all about texture.

Swimming in the sea of the globe thistle.

The damage we experienced with the first harvestable stems seems to have disappeared with the remainder of the crop.

While we do think it has to do with the tarnished plant bugs, typically when we see an infestation we wait and see what beneficials will show up on the job to balance out nature.

Welcoming the weekend with open arms.

Icelandic poppies -Part 1The best stage of harvest is called cracked bud stage. The head is plump and the is starting to open, but not fully open. The reason for this is that when the flowers are open, the pollinators arrive and do their pollinating. At this point the flower has done it’s “job”, and it’s life with be shortened as a result. Don’t worry, we leave plenty for the pollinators!Stay tuned for Part 2 for how I condition them.

This is a fun party trick to do with tulips when they are more open. They will close back up at night, but I love to see what they are hiding under their petals

Seed starting tip!I have a tendency to overwater my seedlings, and a combination of that and lack of air flow has led to a rather green tray that is a breeding ground for mold and fungus. Besides letting the plants dry out between watering and putting a stronger fan blowing on the seedlings, I can also sprinkle some cinnamon to help prevent any fungal growth that could lead to damping off.What is damping off?It is the collapse and death of young seedlings. It is usually visible where the plant meets the soil. The fungi, Rhizoctonia spp. and Fusarium spp., along with the water mold Pythiumspp. are the most common pathogens responsible for damping off. These pathogens also love cool conditions so you could also place your seedlings in a warmer spot with more lighting to decrease this issue.Cinnamon has natural anti fungal properties that can help prevent damping off on susceptible plants. Note: Having moss on your plant surface is generally not harmful, but typically a sign of overwatering or lack of airflow or drainage.

Taking a deep breath before the spring rush. Spring is by far my favorite season. It’s refreshing to be surrounded by life, bursting at the seems with freshness and exuberance. I’m here and I’m ready for all of it.
