I ran some errands today with just a thick sweater instead of a coat and I can feel spring approaching! It won’t be long until the greenhouse starts to look like this again. Under all that stubborn snow there’s life just waiting to emerge and I can’t wait to get out in the dirt again! The bouquet subscriptions are continuing to be claimed by flower lovers just like you. Six weeks of specially curated bouquets. Available now on the website!

A little sunshine for your Saturday. Don’t forget our bouquet subscriptions are waiting to be scooped up on the website. Six weeks of gorgeous flowers can be yours. You might ask “why buy a subscription in the winter for summer flowers?” There are a couple answers to that. First the subscriptions you buy now help buy seeds you will enjoy as flowers in the summer. We grow seasonally here and it’s the off season so cash flow is lower this time of year naturally. Second the bouquet subscribers are ensuring their ticket to the freshest flowers we offer. All of our flowers are harvested with care and love but the subscriptions get first picks every week. Some of the most gorgeous colors and unusual flowers get mixed into these bouquets. Finally, flowers just make the day happier and life a little less dismal so give yourself the gift of a pick me up.

It might be hard to remember the vibrant colors of summer with all the snow still hanging around. To help jog your memory, here’s a little throwback to some fiery red celosia I grew last summer. Also just for fun, a snowy day in the 1900’s (as my kids would say) where I’m dressed stylishly in a monochromatic red outfit just hanging out in the snow with my big sister and favorite pups. So don’t let the snow get you down, throw on a bright outfit and think about warm days ahead.

I was feeling a little confined today with all the snow still on so I sat down and ordered my sunflower seeds and picked out vegetables I want to grow for our food garden this year. I feel better already thinking about planting all these seeds! If you’re getting a little impatient for spring, here’s a few of my flower bouquets I created last year for my bouquet subscribers. They get all the best picks from the fields and they get my unique color choices to choose from each time. If you think you might be interested in a subscription follow the link to the website for more details.

A little warm orange for your day. I grow African marigolds for use in fall bouquets here on the farm. Although the name suggests otherwise they are native to Mexico and Central America. They get taller than the French marigold and make a beautiful cut flower. They don’t mind hot and dry conditions and if kept deadheaded should produce quite a few blooms from a single plant. Some people don’t like their scent but my mother always had marigolds around and their somewhat spicy scent reminds me of childhood.

Todays choice is Dianthus or Sweet William. I grow mostly Dianthus Barbatus here although I have grown Dianthus Caryophyllus a couple of times. Those are heirloom carnations. The Barbatus type are a ball shape covered in bright flowers. They prefer cool temperatures to begin their life. They are a tender perennial in our zone 6b but do best grown as an annual.

Instead of a single type of flower I thought I would cool down after yesterdays hot zinnia colors with some blue. They are a bit mixed together in the photo lineup but pictures are Ageratum which is the tufts of little blooms that are kind of fluffy. Bachelor Buttons which are an old fashioned favorite, Forget me Nots which are simple shaped bunches of flowers the bees adore, Nigella which kind of to me looks like a starburst shape. Nigella you can also let the blooms go to seed and the seed pods are another interesting option to use in bouquets. I also included a couple of perennials which are Echinops or Globe Thistle and Veronica which is a pretty lavender blue spike.

I figured I should pick a vibrant flower for today. So an obvious choice for that is zinnias. They are definitely an attention grabber with their wild hues. One of the very first flowers that took me down the path to where I am now. I always grew a row in our vegetable garden each year because why not. They don’t seem to mind heat or drought too much although they are susceptible to fungal diseases. I have found planting them in mulch seems to help with that since there’s less soil that ends up on the stems during rainstorms. There are many varieties available although I primarily plant Benary’s Giant and Oklahoma now. They are a cut and come again and the deeper you cut it seems, the taller they tend to grow.

Stay warm and cozy inside if you can today.

In the midst of this snowstorm we are having it seems like some of you could really use some sunshine. Sunflowers in all their many varieties definitely make the day sunny. I have read that sunflowers are native to North America and then went to Europe by way of Spanish sailors. They have been used for food and dye for as long as they have been cultivated. In addition to the practical uses is the ornamental. I have grown many varieties over the years but I have settled mostly now on the single stem pollenless varieties. Pollenless because the customer seems to favor that and single stem because they are very uniform and sturdy. The intended use dictates how closely to plant them to each other. If I want the big blooms to display by themselves then I give them room. To get the small blooms that are easier to work into bouquets I plant them close together sometimes just a couple inches apart. As you can see there are many color choices even among the single stem pollenless. One of my favorite is Pro Cut White Nite. It’s a creamy white petal with a dark center. A similar favorite is Pro Cut White Lite, same creamy petals but with a beautiful greenish yellow center. They just look naturally illuminated. I hope this little blip has made your day a little brighter!

Enjoying the view while I do some dishes. Remnants of the summer garden on display to remind me that snow and cold are necessary for many plants to complete or begin their life cycles. The cold will help alleviate some pest problems during the summer months as well and also I really do love snow. Stay warm and cozy if possible and if you can’t do that stay safe!

A little pre-snowstorm floral favorite. Snapdragons. A beautiful spike shaped flower that your great grandmother may have grown. They are said to get their name from the way they look like a dragon opening and closing its mouth when you squeeze the bud from the sides. They come in many colors and varieties, the trick is picking the correct variety for the growing conditions and season you will be growing them in.

Another favorite flower to brighten up these gray days is Celosia. There are a few types, this one in particular is Chief. They come in several vibrant colors and are a beautiful soft velvet mound atop tall thick stalks. They look a bit like a big brain and can be difficult to weave into a bouquet but they also make a perfect bouquet all by themselves. To add to the allure they also dry wonderfully.

Took a break from bagging dahlias to walk through the tunnel. All kinds of critters are enjoying it besides me!

The weather has shifted this morning to a much welcome cool breeze.

Just some cool breeze blowing through sunflowers and broomcorn here in the field. This weather is perfect if we could just get a little rain.

The first wave of seedlings are well on their way to being gorgeous flowers for your home. In just a short amount of time these will be planted out to grow to maturity in our annual field and more will be started right behind them.

When it’s June and Mother Nature thinks it’s August.

A welcome sound after direct sowing a lot of seeds in a new field! I could really use a whole day of steady rain but I’ll take what I can get.

Looking for some fresh flowers in a rainbow of colors? Stop by the City of Crestview Hills Farmer’s Market and purchase one of our premium bouquets. Tomorrow from 2-6 at the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church at 2718 Dixie Highway, Crestview Hills Ky.

A walk around the big flower field. Ignore any weeds you might see.

Rain delay.
