Loving our group of growers in the Backyard Cut Flower Garden course at this year! They are the sweetest, most fun group of people! Of course, I'm pretty sure I say that every year.

To the nearly 100 people who have taken the course over the last 5 years, thank you for making my Summers a blast! I'm rooting for you. Thanks for letting me be part of your flower tribe.

Our first pincushion flower (aka scabiosa) of the season! I tucked it into a bouquet with peonies and other spring beauties.

If you want to enjoy farm fresh peonies before they are gone for the season head to our website to order a bouquet for porch pickup on Tuesday evening or Friday morning.

Look at that perfect little star in the middle of this Megan Dean Dahlia.

I spent the day yesterday finishing up dividing dahlias. And my fingers are crossed I'll have some time to get them in the ground this week.

It's going to be perfect planting weather, the soil has some moisture and the temperatures are finally warming up a bit.

Who's excited for dahlias this year?

04/05/2024

So much to do in the garden in May! We have a new blog post all about things to do in the garden in May. You can find it on our blog, follow the link in our bio.

Keep a good eye on the weather, it's going to be a little cold for this time of year. But it should be warming up soon!

20/03/2024

Have you heard of ?

He wrote the book Atomic Habits, and has an email newsletter every Thursday. The following is a quote that I just wanted to share with you.

"Stop paying so much attention to what everyone else is doing and run your own race. How much time is spent reading other people's posts on social media, watching other people's exploits in the news, listening to other people's ideas on podcasts? Go have coffee with a friend. Go make something. Go outside. All those hours spent looking at someone else's life on a screen could be used to take action in your own life."

I love that.

Run your own race!

I think social media can be a place of great connection, but if it ever has you feeling down, I think this advice is fabulous. Go outside, go make something, go chat with a friend.

The first little bloom of '24 deserves its own spot on the grid. I love the steely blue of its stamens.

Producing these little beauties takes a winter of dedication. But they are totally worth the effort, I can't wait to put them in our subscription bouquets. Don't wait too long to order your subscription, our spots are limited this year.

I had the opportunity to be on the radio yesterday. During the interview the host asked what I would want people to know about flower farming in Utah , the good, bad and the ugly.

Sure, there's a lot that I could have talked about that is hard about farming. But my first thought was that I want you to know how much I love growing flowers for you.

It's something special to know where your food or your flowers came from. To know that there was a person that labored on your behalf. And cheerfully so. I love knowing where my flowers end up. It's the best knowing that I brought a little bit of beauty into my friends, neighbors and customers lives.

Thank you, for letting me grow flowers for you.

Have you heard of the term Persephone days? It's a term coined by Elliott Coleman for the time in winter where the daylight is under 10 hours a day.

Here in the Salt Lake valley the Persephone days start about November 16th and go to January 26th.

Why does it matter if there's less than 10 hours a day of sunlight? Other than maybe affecting us humans with seasonal effective disorder, It also means our plants don't put on growth.

Plants need over 10 hours of sunlight to grow. Which means during the Persephone period they kind of just hang out, waiting for the days where there's more sunshine.

I always cheer for January 27th, knowing that we have a little more light in our lives. And the plants are going to start growing again.

10/11/2023

It's been a little quiet around here on the feed, but we are busy as bees behind the scenes.

We are prepping to have the *best* spring season we've ever had. We will have more peonies producing blooms than ever before. The ranunculus are in the ground and I'm so excited about the colors and varieties we have this year. Anemones are already peeking out of the soil. Tulips are getting planted early next week.

If you think that your future self will be excited to have spring flowers, make sure to check our website next Saturday, November 18th. Our bouquet subscriptions will go on sale just in time for holiday gift giving.

If you have any questions about our spring or late summer subscription, please drop it below and we will answer it promptly.

Have you heard about Dahlia Days at ? It's going on today and tomorrow, Friday September 22nd and Saturday, September 23rd. You can tour the gardens and see their dahlia patch, with the Utah Dahlia society members on hand to answer questions. There are also a series of $5 classes that you can take to learn a little bit more about these amazing flowers.

I will be presenting tonight at 6:30 on behalf of the Utah Cut Flower Farms Association. We will be talking about our association and all the ways that Utah flower farmers can help you have more gorgeous dahlias in your life. Come find out how to find locally grown tubers in the spring, where in your area to find a you-pick farm and lots more.

On Saturday there will be classes from the amazing and You won't want to miss them!

I will have the link in my bio for you to check out today, or you can go to Thanksgiving point's website to find out more.

All the gardens I live in are starting to slow down. (Seen above is our Backyard Cut Flower Garden at Snuck Farm.) There are fewer buckets of flowers, the regrowth is slower.

My cherry tree has a sprinkling of yellow leaves on its green branches.

I love the slower days. A break from the frenetic rush of summer abundance. A time to reflect on what went well this summer and what we can change for next year.

I'm excited to plant a handful or so of peonies. Excited to change up our irrigation a little bit for better results next year. Excited to pull out the varieties that didn't do great for us this year, while dreaming of the ones that will replace them in the spring. Excited to soak the ranunculus corms that will get tucked into a low tunnel in a few weeks.

Are you excited about the changing of the season? What garden dreams do you have?

08/09/2023

While we are still enjoying the dahlias, marigolds and other late summer flowers, it's easy to get distracted planning for the start of next year's season.

The abundance and success of next spring depends a lot on the work we do now. Ranunculus and anemone corms arrived today and will be prepped for planting by the end of next week.

As much as I lament the end of one season, there is always the season ahead, sparkling on horizon and filled future flowers

This week on the farm we are embracing what I'm calling soft autumn colors. Peach, ivory, and gold instead of oranges and russets.

How are you feeling about the fall colors? Are you ready for the shift in seasons?

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail."

Dahlias and their perfect symmetry means it is almost September. This bloom is the first of its variety to bloom but hopefully soon we will have lots to share.

In the meantime, we have lots of Lisianthus that you can order in bouquets on our website for pickup on Wednesday or Saturday. Don't miss out on this specialty flower.

25/08/2023

Picture this with masses of weeds, overgrown Iris, and more grass than the actual lawn even had and you'll have a good picture of what it looked like when we moved in.

We tackled the front yard first thinking it would be a good way to make an impression on our new neighbors. It's been 10 years now, this photo is from 3 years ago, and now things are ready for a refresh.

My goals are-

1. Tame the wild, and edit some things out now that plants have matured.

2. Add some late summer and autumn color.

3. Divide our bigger perennials so that we can landscape another part of our yard with "free" plants.

How often do you refresh your landscape?

23/08/2023

I almost feel bad about posting nothing but Lizzie's during Lisianthus season.

Each season is so fleeting though. The peonies are here for a few weeks and gone, same for the tulips that came before them. I think it's nature's way to keep us from getting too bored. An ever-changing view out our window.

Let's learn to savor each flower in its season.

17/08/2023

For the last week and a half I've gotten emails letting me know that certain varieties of dahlias on my wholesale order would not be available. I'm down to one variety, and I'm just waiting for the email that says it too is not available. There's been heavy rains and flooding since October in the Netherlands, impacting the dahlia crop there. It's going to be a massive loss for those farmers. Approximately 50 million tubers are produced by Dutch farmers. 🤯 Such is the risk of farming. Poor seed, weather events, insect pressure can all wipe out a crop. I'm thankful to have a garage full (ish) of tubers, even if it's not as many as in the past. I'm also grateful for other local farmers who are willing to share their tuber crop. While it might be a different year for Dahlias across the world, I'm hopeful that we will have Dahlias here in Utah in abundance.

What's not to love about ranunculus!? All the colors, the long vase life, that they bloom most of spring. Our spring subscription this last year had ranunculus in seven of the eight weeks. Next year promises to be even better, we've got all our favorite varieties and colors planted! What do you love about ranunculus?

A friend mentioned that her bouquet subscription was more of a prescription, she NEEDS flowers. I love that. We all need a little beauty in our lives!

Current favorite row on the farm, can you blame me? #lisianthus #utahflowers #utahflowerfarm #snuckflowers #makeutahbloom

Six or so weeks till it's peony season! Like everything else, they're going to be a little late, but that will just give us time to enjoy the tulips first. Peonies are my favorite spring flower, what is yours?

You don't have to plant peonies to have them in your home the spring! Our spring subscription starts next week, we have a few spots left. You can sign up through the link in our bio.

They may be later than a typical year, but once they come we're going to be swimming in tulips! And ranunculus, and peonies! Spring flowers are the best! Don't forget to sign up for the spring bouquet subscription! It'll be starting in just a few weeks. #utahflowerfarm #flowerseveryday #southjordan #makeutahbloom

In about 5 to 6 weeks, depending on the weather, our spring subscription will be starting! Are you signed up?

In five or six weeks, depending on the weather of course, our spring subscription will be starting! Are you signed up?

It's not my favorite word. Perfect. I think perfect sometimes gets in the way of good. A moment doesn't have to be perfect to be filled with joy. A bloom doesn't need to be perfect to be appreciated. Our gardens, our homes, our lives are real, and that's so much better than perfect.

Wondering what you'll learn in the Backyard Cut Flower garden course? You'll learn hands on, in your own garden row, about Soil prep Irrigation Proper planting Crop planning Choosing varieties Pinching Support netting Harvesting Bouquet making Arranging Pest management Perennials and bulbs to grow Seed starting Dahlia digging And more.
