Gonna mix things up this weekend and vend at this awesome quarterly market in Mandarin!
Over 150 vendors and giveaways every half hour!
Yāall come see me!
Sowed the seasonās first zinnias today šø
The garden they are destined for is a new space for me, and nowhere near ready for planting
Guess Iāve got about 4 weeks to get it ready š
Iāve caught a few lizards in my years, and my yard is full of them, but never have I ever had one hang out on me!
This lil friend climbed onto me and stayed on my arm for a solid 15 minutes while I worked in the garden today š„°
My lilā valentine (whoās taller than me by now but anywho) made us this beautiful red velvet cake for tonight, with skillfully done strawberry roses, piped frosting ārosesā and lovely edible flowers from the garden! ššøš°
Head on over to the sweetest little shop in Jax Beach for your last minute Valentineās flowers!!!

Fun fact: 360Ā° arrangements are harder to photograph than front facing ones, whether or not you have a photography degree in your back pocket š
A throwback image from three springs ago when I first grew anemones š
Iāve been back in the studio making gorgeous flower images lately with my macro lens and I canāt wait to share the other side of my art with yāall soon! š·

Say whaaaaaat?!?
Today you can find me at the Palm Valley market, selling my awesome salad mix, along with dried flower holiday ornaments and dried flower wreaths š
See you there!
I enjoyed a therapeutic soak today in my Herbal Bath Soak salts š
Itās a detoxifying blend of Himalayan and Epsom salts, my famous calendula oil, lavender and homegrown tulsi that smells heavenly and helps me to be able to move after I work myself nearly to death on the farm with a broadfork every Monday.
You can find this miraculous stuff for sale at market as a giftable set with an organic cotton drawstring bag and cute lil scoop š
Itās not too early to start thinking about unique gifts for loved ones for the holidays!
No doubt about it, I love selling healthy organic food to everyone, but I get super jazzed when adorable kiddos are the ones eager to buy my veggies with money they brought to market!
This lovely young lady wanted to buy my last chonky lil cucumber for a snack ššš
Love it!
Thank you so much for my new clock
I love it! ššæš°
Sneak peek of what I will have for market tomorrow!
I have the first of the first of my fall crops, and itās not a big haul, so only the earliest of birds will get to take home radishes, baby kale, and arugula! š
I will have lots of lovely flower jars and value added goodies, so come see me and help me get off to a great start for the new season š

At what point is a cookie just too dang cute to eat?
Today I made a batch of a new flavor of flower cookies- Pumpkin Spice Shortbread š
I am returning to the Green Market this weekend, and you can catch the debut of this festive new flavor! š¤¤
Come see me Saturday, 321 Penman Road 10-2
Happy October! š
Today I made my first ever batch of fire cider š„
FINALLY got to light a cozy scented candle (we rehomed my kiddoās parakeets today after months of trying to find a good home for them-we discovered we prefer outdoor birds like ducks and chickens over noisy, messy indoor birds that cannot breathe candle or incense smoke or else)
And I made a monstrosity of a wreath out of some amaranth I was cuttingā¦hubs said it looked like it would be messy and heās not wrong, but heās used to my shenanigans by now.
The wreath is sorta crazy looking, good thing itās spooky season š»
I planted brassicas yesterday- three varieties of kale, purple cabbage and romanesco š„¦
Today I checked on them and a handful had received this treatment š¤¬
It happened just under the soil level and this time, itās not the ants
If you have any thoughts on what it might be and what course of action I should take, lemme know šš½
And just be glad that Iām crazy enough to keep doing this ridiculous thing called farming regardless of the many, many hiccups I have had over these last few weeks!
Welp.
These last couple of weeks have beenā¦interesting.
We can blame it on the retrograde, or operator error, or whatever, but lately it seems like everything I touch either breaks, explodes, or flubs up in some new and exciting way š¬
I broke a rotten swing and almost my arm in one fell swoop, burned up and exploded my well pump at home, overwatered and nearly killed all my greenhouse seedlings, and spent over $2300 getting my Jeep back running and air conditioned (and thatās in my off season, when I donāt make any money btw) šø
So what youāre seeing in this picture is a small victory, that being I got my first two rows planted this week-with a bum arm!
Thereās lettuce, cucumbers, sunflowers, arugula, radishes and a butterfly pea, which somehow all survived my horrible luck, and will be gracing my market booth in a few short weeks.
Now, whoever has the Rebecca voodoo doll, kindly take the pins out and quit throwing her against the wall šš½
Thanks.
Loving the proverb for today in my planner, very appropoā¦
Nine hundred cool flower plant babies got their start today on my dining room table š
Iām taking another crack at soil blocking, hoping that I can finally reap all the benefits of this method this season, and that these cute mini brownies will stay intact instead of falling apart almost instantly like in years past.
I started with a much finer mix so Iām thinking that might do the trick š¤š½
Hereās to stubbornly attempting things again that I previously failed at because Iām a better farmer than the last time I tried š„
Happy 5th birthday to this little lady! š
With a flowery name like Iris, you know my girl loves some flowers š„°
And since sheās the daughter of two chefs, her party menu request was charcuterie š¤š½š§šš
Gotta love a kiddo with great taste!
First arrangement with my new āØsquareāØ tag/ business card š¤š½

Can we dispense with the notion that we need a reason to purchase flowers? So itās not your birthday, or a holiday, maybe you didnāt dance in a recital or walk in a graduation- who cares? Taking time to bring something beautiful into your space to celebrate life itself is reason enough, wouldnāt you say? And if you have a partner who you wish would do little things like buy you flowers for āno reason,ā a great way to communicate that you like flowers for no reason is to buy them for yourself š¤Æ We show others how we want to be treated by the way we treat ourselves- so make it part of your routine to show yourself a little love, whether thatās with flowers or something else that makes you feel good! Iāll see you beautiful humans tomorrow! #icanbuymyselfflowers #flowersfornoreason #selfcare #locallygrown

Isolabella flowers at a new location! Head on over to 5 Points Farm in Riverside for your flower fix today- Saturday, or until theyāre gone š Itās too hot out this time of year for local farms to grow lettuce outside, so this is the spot to get locally grown salad, itās all grown indoors in super cool aeroponic towers; snag some while youāre there! #localflowers #jacksonvilleflowers #riversidejax #5pointsjax #locallygrown #collaboration
*transplants one of last yearās rows from the farm to my home garden when I leave This is why gardening, like all of this life, should be treated as a grand experiment! I read on some online forums that one would be wasting time to try and grow lisis for cut flowers from last seasonās plants. But theyāre my favorite, so when I tarped the other rows, I left one row just to see what would happen. I ignored it for months, aside from it being irrigated, it got no care. When I was leaving the farm I figured Iād take them with me, they were small but looked like they had potential A few months later and theyāre blooming, needless to say Iām going to listen to āthemā less and less and see what magic I can create in my own garden š
You know where to find me today! We have live music and locally grown food, local makers and friendly faces 321 Penman Road, Jax Beach 10-2 #jacksonvilleflowers #jacksonvillefarmersmarket #locallygrown #flgrown #localflowers #flowerfarmer #suburbanfarm #farmher #chemicalfree #zinnia #lisianthus #celosia #jaxbeach #neptunebeach #atlanticbeach #diglocalnetwork

Sometimes, you want to spend yet another day on the couch nursing your cold, but you remember that you shouldāve started these seeds like a month ago and nobody else is gonna cover for you So you take your fire cider, your tulsi elixir, your elderberry gummies, and your over the counter sinus meds, make sure youāre set up in the shade with a box fan on full blast and lotsa water to keep yourself hydrated and you just do the damn thing #solopreneur #suckitupbuttercup #seedstarting
Harvest Fridays look very different now than just a couple months agoā¦. No longer trying to do 3 daysā work in a 13 hour span, just cutting flowers, prepping them, and arranging Watch until the end to see how I really feel about getting myself kicked off the farm and having to start a new garden in a family friendās backyard š

Want your business to be the top-listed Event Planning Service?
Welcome!!! Isolabella Blooms is a first year flower farm created by Rebecca Isola, your friendly local farmer florist. The idea sprouted from a simple love of flowers, and the desire to grow and share them with friends and loved ones. Flowers make people happy, and buying from a local grower means you can find flowers not available at flower markets or grocery stores, as beautiful blooms like zinnias and unique sunflowers do not ship well from far away flower farms. Join us on our journey growing happiness!
