I thought I'd pop on and share a little farm update because so much is happening ...
Tulip season is winding down and what a beautiful season it was.
Peonies will be stealing the show very soon. We just need a little more sunshine to move them along.
I'm deep into planting season. More than half of the annual field is planted, and the other half will go in next week with heat-loving annuals like zinnias, celosia, and sunflowers.
Dahlia planting is also underway. We'll be planting more than 2,500 tubers this season, including 17 new varieties.
Some beautiful arrangements for bridal showers and anniversary celebrations have already gone out, and the calendar is filling up with Buckets of Blooms orders for summer and fall weddings.
We've also welcomed some wonderful guests to the cottage this season. They've been kayaking on the river, enjoying bonfires in the evening, and listening to the peepers at night.
Behind the scenes, I'm working on a fun lineup of fall workshops and events that I'm excited to share soon.
The to-do list is long, the weather has been all over the place, and there never seem to be enough hours in the day this time of year, but the farm is coming alive.
Thank you for following along. I hope to see you at the farm this season.
