Hydrangeas Wreath
I came across this hydrangeas wreath and thought it was easy enough. This is what I learned after a few failed attempts to attach the hydrangeas:
☝️You cannot just slide the stem into the straw base, it will break. Make a hole first.
✌️Working with fresh cut hydrangeas at the right stage is easier than using already dried flowers. The flowers and stems are less brittle and not as breakable.
✌️☝️ Don't take the plastic wrap off the straw base like I did, it is too messy and it will keep losing pieces of straw forever.
When I couldn't insert the dried stems without breaking them I tried using a glue gun. It did not work well either. Then I switched to fresh flowers, made the hole first with my clippers and cut the stem pretty short. After these adjustments, it turned out to be an easy wreath project.
I am sorry I ignored you all summer. Hot Biscuits Amaranth, this is your time to shine #fallvibes
Too big and too brown for summer bouquets, but suddenly it is perfect 🤩. What do you think?
What are you finding in your garden that is perfect to bring the warm fall colors to your home?

When in doubt, keep it simple! Either because you only have one kind of flower or you are unsure about flower arranging... stick to a single type of flower in a single color or in the same color palette. Make sure to add lots of stems for your arrangement to stand out.

Are you planning to start seeds indoors in the next few weeks? This is a simple small scale flower farmer set up to start seeds indoors: Shop lights or growing lights (on a timer is ideal) . Heat mats. Cell trays with a lid (shown are 72 cells). Starting medium (soil). Do you need all these to start seeds indoors? If you are planning to start seeds for a small home cutting garden with any of the 5 flowers I highlighted last week, you probably do it with less supplies if you are willing to follow the sun with your trays and be a bit creative. Lights - they do help grow strong seedlings, they are key if you are keeping those seedlings alive for a long period of time. I think that if you are starting seeds 2 to 3 weeks before planting outside, and are willing to move your trays around the house or to put them outside when sunny to maximize the light and warmth from the sun, you can go without lights. Heat mats - they do help seeds to germinate faster and more uniformly. Again, if you move your tray with a lid to sunny locations you can skip for easy to grow seeds. But if you have tried starting from seed before with little success, try adding a heat mat.. Trays with a lid, there are many types of trays (various qualities and prices, compostable, re-usable, plastic, soil blocks). Many recycled containers can work, drainage and clear lid/dome are the key elements. Salad containers make great domes that you can put on top of any container to keep humidity and create a mini greenhouse environment. Tomorrow I will share how to make paper pots. Soil - Again lots of options, some really expensive and specific to start seeds. Again for zinnias, sunflowers, celosia, marigolds and cosmos… a nice potting solid works and you can use the leftovers for your container plants. I like the Promix brand. I am simplifying things here and having lights and heat mats, as well as room kept at 70F would be ideal, but I just want you to get started without a big investment and tons o

Arranging your sunflower bunch - Part 2 Not ground breaking but simple and effective. Use a container (mason jar for example) inside your bigger vase. This can help went the vase you want to use is too big or it is not waterproof. You can also add greenery from your garden (for example hydrangea foliage). Have fun arranging your flowers! 🌻
