The clumps of dahlias are looking beautiful. This is the size we are getting from 95% of the cutting grown clumps. Every so often there is a smaller one. I have enjoyed digging as the soil is so beautiful. It has come far in the 4 years that we’ve grown here. It started out very dusty and compacted, with no earthworms to be found on the entire property. There was a hard pan that didn’t allow for drainage and digging was difficult due to compaction. Now, after years of adding compost and other organic matter, the soil is a delight to work in. If you have poor soil, keep adding compost and organic matter. We use a flail mower to grind up crops on the soil and the other thing we did to break up the hard pan is use a ripper to open up the soil. It rips down 18” deep into the soil and helped open up to allow drainage and get oxygen to the roots. Do you geek out over soil like I do? I may enjoy the beautiful looking soil more than the crops it produces! 🤓

Half the dahlias are dug. Despite the work or maybe because of it, it is one of my favorite times of the year. Growing up in a farm family, fall was always harvest time. I love that that continues for me. It is so satisfying to pull a clump of dahlias out of the ground and see how one tuber or cutting multiplied over the season. I planted over half of the dahlias as cuttings and the clumps are generous from them, bigger than the tuber planted dahlias in most cases. It will be interesting to see what the tuber yield is from the cutting clumps. I have dahlia cuttings for sale my website right now from all the dahlias I grew this year. In many ways I think they are easier than tubers to grow. Since they already have a root system and vegetative growth you know they are viable when you plant them in the ground and with steady moisture after planting, you should have no problems. You just don’t want to let them dry out for too long like any new baby plant or you risk them dying. Have you grown dahlias from cuttings before? The only downside of cuttings in my opinion is if you are a flower farmer who plans to sell your tubers for income, you typically will not get as many tubers with eyes from a cutting grown dahlia. However, they will usually bloom earlier and the plant is just as big and floriferous as a tuber grown dahlia. This dahlia is one of my favorites, Orange Globe. I believe I paid $25 for the tuber which at the time was a lot! But she’s worth it. She has a big smoky orange bloom that is so gorgeous! She is available for purchase as a cutting right now on my website and I will also have tubers for sale in March.

Hi flower friends! It’s been a long break - I know. If you noticed I was absent you may have wondered if I dropped off the face of the earth. As you know farming is a roller coaster, and this past year hit harder than expected. Between a tough dahlia season, balancing life as a mom of 9, but really the 5 youngest (all boys mind you- that are still at home 💪🏻/🤪), my oldest daughter’s wedding, did I mention a very busy two year old boy who needs his mama, and why not throw in a new one, peri-menopause- whew yes I went there because the emotions that came with it are throwing me for a loop!

You could call it burnout- but I really just needed a break, and time to refocus. I said I was done with flowers, and I was. But now that’s school is back in session, I realized flowers are still my happy place. I have reprioritized and restructured my business and feeling more centered and taking it slower than I was previously.

In the coming weeks I will share more about what’s happening around here - especially in the dahlias- but for now, it’s good to be back! Can’t wait to reconnect with you all! 💐let me know in the comments section how your gardens are doing this season- I’d love to hear from you!

Oh and this beauty pictures Camano Zoe, isn’t she great?

Two tulips Palmyra, with long graceful stems, and Foxtrot, with big peony like blooms are gracing the gardens right now. Did you plant tulips last fall? They are such a gift when they make their arrival.

03/27/2024

Thinking of you arrangement. It’s such a joy to source all the flowers and greens from our farm. Now off to go deliver.

A portrait of spring. After walking the property yesterday, gathering a sampling of what is blooming right now, a big rain storm moved in ending with hail. It was kind of cozy feeling, I was at the dining room table with the boys gathered around and from seemingly out of nowhere the rain barreled in. Many times when it rains here in the PNW it is a soft rain that falls straight down. This was a heavy rain with huge rain drops coming down sideways in a downpour, followed with hail. It was reminiscent of the storms in the Midwest that I grew up with. And just like that it moved on and all was calm again. But today, in the daylight, I will go and see how the flowers fared feeling glad I picked what I did before the storm. Hopefully today I will also have time to make a spring arrangement with the bounty from yesterday. You never know what curveball Mother Nature will throw, it’s best to make hay while the sun shines! Are the bulbs blooming where you are?

The sunshine has brought forth blooms. So many pretty flowers. Spring had arrived and we couldn’t be happier! ❤️

Behind the scenes we are busy preparing for shipping. It can be a stressful time, but what I love is how my 3 boys are helping sticker the bags, putting tubers and peat moss in each bag, and loading the crates back up with the prepared bags. This is my why, I grew up on a farm and cherish the memories of doing chores with my siblings, it’s something I’ve always been thankful for. Last night when my son asked do we get to help with packing boxes next, that was a win for me. Despite the stress of having to refund some tubers due to loss in storage, knowing some people will end up disappointed (and I will too because I want to please people, not disappoint), I choose to focus on the experience of raising kids and teaching them how to be a part of something bigger. Creating memories that will last a lifetime. Something I’ve learned recently is to ask myself, what would my future self (20 years from now) value in this situation? And I’ve learned the stresses and the troubles won’t matter in 20 years, but the time with the kids and family will. Try asking yourself that question, it really puts things into perspective!

One of my favorite colorways for dahlias. Crichton Honey, Sebastian, Linda’s Baby, and Jowey Winnie. Love them all.

What is your favorite colors? Do you collect all the dahlias in that colorway?

If you want to get started growing dahlias, now is the time to find the tubers you want to grow. We have so many beautiful dahlias in stock, it’s so frustrating shipping for tubers only to find everything sold out. I remember the first year I was searching my or tubers, it felt impossible to find any in stock. Now, there are many more farms and growers selling online which helps. I am looking forward to warm days and sunshine and fields full of dahlias. I have been shopping sales too and am so excited about the new varieties we will be growing. 2024 dahlia field will be beautiful! Click the link to shop our dahlias from our farm.

I dream of the dahlia fields this summer as I work on increasing our stock through cuttings. It is a process I really enjoy, there is something about new plant life that fulfills me. It is a miracle to take a cutting stick it in a rooting cube and watch the roots grow and develop over the course of a few weeks. We are transitioning to dahlias as our main focus, and it feels good. Our secondary crop is bearded iris. And finally a good selection of perennials already in the ground. My goal is to grow large amounts of the dahlias and cuttings that everyone wants to help ease up on dahlias wars. There is nothing more disappointing than going to a website and seeing everything but one or two varieties sold out - am I right? We actually have a lot of beautiful varieties in stock on our website, and we are focusing on adding more for you. That what drives me as we work on this new project. We want to make dahlia sales fun and rewarding for everyone. I think this dahlia is Clearview Peachy, isn’t she a beauty? I would love to hear your most wanted dahlia varieties, tell me in the comments below! 👇🏻

We are undertaking a pretty massive (for us) dahlia cuttings project this winter. We have about 160 clumps of dahlias we are taking cuttings from. Considering that each clump can produce 50-100 rooted cuttings, we are going to be able to ramp up the number of dahlias we grow and offer for sale. We have a lot of new to us varieties we are excited to add to our sale next year, and possibly this year if we have excess rooted cuttings. I can’t wait to see rows of all the new varieties in our dahlia fields. One thing I am also considering is only selling rooted cuttings of certain varieties that don’t store well or have tubers that are finicky to deal with. There are certain dahlias that don’t produce a lot of tubers or their tubers are a pain and in that case I am thinking why not sell the rooted cuttings only…it’s always a learning and refining process that’s for sure!

This variety is Lark’s Ebbe- isn’t it beautiful? We are excited to see a long row of her in our field this coming season!

How many more days until the sun shines and the flowers bloom? We are in the dog days of winter here in the PNW, it’s dark and dreary and very rainy, but we have had a few teaser sunny warm days. The daffodils and tulips are up, the crocuses are blooming as are a few early daffodils. I am so glad I have planted so many bulbs to look forward to this spring! Today I saw the forsythia are starting to bloom which means it’s time to go out and prune the roses. I think I’ll wait for a nice day before I go out there. It’s been cold and windy. Are you counting down the days until spring?

02/26/2024

We at back to cold gray rainy days after a brief sunny teaser and 60 degree temperatures here in the PNW. This has been a challenging winter for me, for the past 5 years I haven’t minded the gray winters, but this year it’s been dreary. Dreaming of flowers helps! We have crocuses blooming and miniature daffodils, they bring so much cheer.
If you’re like me and planning for summers gardens, check out our dahlia tubers- we have so many beautiful varieties available. One of the musts I look for now besides beautiful flowers is how well they produce tubers and Gerrie Hoek (pictured) checks all the boxes. Beautiful, abundant blooms and plentiful tubers. It’s been a favorite dahlia from the very first year.

Go check out dahlia tubers sale and plan for a beautiful summer of gardening and flowers. It’s the only way to get through winter 😜!

The first flowers of the year blooming outside. They are always such a sweet treasure! Did you plant crocuses last fall? This one is Jeanne D’arc.

I have such a soft spot for the color orange🍊. This bunch of orange dahlias simply stunning if I do say so myself! Our favorite orange dahlias are, Sylvia or Maarn, David Howard, Myrthe, Punkin Spice, and Orange Symphony. That’s off the top of my head- did I miss any?

You will always be happy for orange dahlias when Pumpkin Spice Latte and sweater season roll around, they are perfectly fitting for fall flowers!

We have dahlias restocked on our website- go grab your favorites before they are gone! Make sure to add some orange for fall!
