I spend all this time seeding, stressing and caring for my seedlings, providing them worm castings and high quality soil when all it took was stepping stones with concrete and river rock 😂 stop flexing nature and telling me to hold your beer! I am always amazed by the resiliency of plants. First and second images are of a snapdragon from last year growing out of a crack in our stone steps. Third image is of Nigella, I tossed seeds last fall onto the river rock in the front yard and now it’s a sea of Nigella. I may come to regret the latter decision 😂

This year’s dahlia tubers are beginning to sprout after a long and wet winter in the soil. The tubers are one week earlier than last year.

This is my third year leaving my dahlia tubers in the ground rather than dig them up. Leaving the tubers in the ground definitely comes with risk primarily due to cold temperatures and excessive soil moisture. To help protect the overwintering tubers I cover the beds with a thick layer of straw at the end of the season.

Leaving the tubers in the ground means I don’t have to dig, divide and store as many tubers in winter, I can protect my soil’s structure and microbes which are destroyed when tubers are dug up and the dahlias typically emerge earlier from the ground. Thrilled to see the first couple of dahlia shoots 🌱🌱

Planting the cool season annuals over the last couple of weeks has me daydreaming of all the beautiful and colorful arrangements that can be created this year!

Hard to believe this photo was taken on October 24 and the dahlias were still producing nice blooms! I can feel the end of the season approaching, the plants and I both need a rest. Leaving most of the tubers in the ground helps to provide me with a longer harvesting season as I don’t have dig, divide and store them and it doesn’t disturb my soil structure and biology.

Hi flower friends, its been quite a while since I last introduced myself. My name’s Melissa. I have a background in entomology and botany and a passion for growing dahlias and cut flowers on our urban property in Port Moody (plus a few neighbour’s yards lol). I started Sea Breeze Florals in memory of my dad who passed away in 2008. He shared with me his passion and love of dahlias, whether it was giving away flowers or sharing dahlia tubers so that others could learn to grow dahlias too.

I love the challenges and learning experiences that come with growing flowers. Venturing out into the dahlia and cut flower beds each day to see the blooms and being able to share them with the florists and the public is amazing. I have joined an incredible flower and gardening community and made some truly special friends.

All flowers are grown with regenerative practices in mind. I do not use pesticides or harmful sprays on my plants. I use cover crops when possible and don’t till the soil. I’m positively crazy for composting – static, hot, bokashi and worm composting! All are incorporated into my growing practices. I also apply compost teas and extracts to the plants and soil. By promoting the soil microbiome, I am able to grow healthy high-quality cut flowers.

Thank you for following along on my journey!

Bloomquist Tory P has been amazing this year! I have one plant of this stunning dahlia and I’m crossing my fingers she’s a good tuber producer because I want more of the precious 😉 Yes I said that in a LOTR Gollum voice 😂

Skipley Spot of Gold has been a unicorn dahlia for me for several years. A lavender coloured ball dahlia with gold tips on the petals 😍 This dahlia is 100% worth chasing! I thought it would be similar to Bloomquist Mojo but they are both quite unique (middle photo shows a comparison). Skipley is a smaller bloom with a more solid lavender coloration. I’ve also found Mojo to vary in colour throughout the season.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! This is a photo of Karma Choc showing a sport mutation. Kinda festive, reminds me a bit of a dark colored candy cane with the red streaks.
