Week # 9 at our Flower Farm!
It’s week #9 on the flower farm, a little over 2 months since we tilled the soil and planted seeds. And guess what? It’s HARVEST WEEK!! Yes, I cut flowers for commercial bouquets for the first time yesterday. WOW!
Happy sunflowers after lots of rain!
Sangria sunflowers with Corkey working in the background!
Right now, I am only cutting zinnias and sunflowers, but the colors and varieties are so fun!
Zinnias - many of our blooms are baseball sized!
I thought about adding some existing blooms that my mother-in-love had planted on the property over the years. There are lots of hydrangea, phlox and lilies of all kinds. She also has a huge forsythia bush, while it isn’t in bloom right now, but it would be a perfect green stem to add to bouquets. I may add some things in future bouquets, but right now, the sunflowers and zinnias are really showing off!
Cherry Limeade Sunflower - so fun!
