2024 was a pivotal year for Breezy Acres and for me, both personally and as a grower. One of the decisions I made was to begin investing in perennials that would see Breezy Acres through the years and, hopefully, generations.

Many of those perennials will take years to mature and provide a sizable harvest. Featured here is astilbe. While other parts of the farm are struggling this season, these blooms are a reminder that I’ve built something lasting. (And honestly, these astilbe are saving my sanity a little right now.)

Every year brings a little more clarity and the damage to the annual field reinforced the direction Breezy Acres is moving.

I’ll always grow my favorite annuals, and dahlias will always have my heart and be the heart here, but perennials are slowly becoming the backbone of Breezy Acres.

Good things take time.

ps photo 3 is probably the better capture of how I’ve been coping lol

“Bloom where you’re planted.”

That’s what they say.

Sometimes that’s just not good advice.

Do you know how much money, effort, and time I’ve wasted planting things in the wrong environment and willing them to bloom?

Too much.

I’ve tried to grow beautiful hydrangeas and astilbe for years. I kept planting them where I wanted them in the front yard. They kept refusing to grow or, even worse, just outright dying on me.

Last year, I had a lightbulb moment.

There was nothing wrong with the plants. They were just in the wrong place.

All along, I had the perfect place for them. It just wasn’t where I wanted it to be.

So I planted about 30 tiny hydrangeas and 75 bare root astilbe along our creek where they’re protected from harsh afternoon sun, the soil stays moist, and the microclimate is several degrees cooler than the rest of the property.

They took off.

Hydrangeas that were barely an inch above the soil when planted bloomed their first year.

The astilbe gave me a stem or two that first season. One year later, they rewarded me with hundreds.

A thank you for giving them an environment where they could thrive instead of one where they had to white-knuckle their way through survival.

This applies to humans, too.

Sometimes it’s not you.

Sometimes you need to close a door, walk away, and choose a different environment.

I know.

I’ve been there.

Sometimes you’re not failing.

You’re just planted in the wrong damn place.

Was so thrilled with my first true harvest of astilbe this morning. Still one variety left to bloom!

My early summer color palette is on time, even if the blooms aren’t.

This season hasn’t unfolded the way I expected, but every walk through the field reminds me why I planted these varieties in the first place.

The timing may be different this season, but the vision is absolutely coming together.

After 2 weeks, we are finally getting a break from the rain. That means it’s time to direct sow my next succession of zinnias, cosmos, marigolds, and celosia. Hundreds of dahlia tubers will go in the ground too for a beautiful fall field.

So many of you have reached out with encouragement over the last week as I’ve processed the damage to the field and I’m grateful for you all. I feel good about the plan moving forward and am going to enjoy a slower June while I wait on blooms.

Deleting scheduled posts announcing buckets would return soon and taking down all pre-orders while waiting, observing, and hoping for recovery of the field. This is definitely not how I expected to kick off the summer season after a really great spring.

Five years of growing flowers and I finally feel like I’ve found the visual direction that feels the most like me.

Gathered blooms, simple wraps, natural textures, and details that feel quiet and intentional. But not afraid to be bold when needed.

Our new bouquet stamp arrived this week and somehow it feels like more than just a logo. It feels like the finishing touch on something I’ve been slowly building season by season.

More authentic and aligned than ever.

For the last week or so, I’ve walked the dahlias thinking, “something doesn’t look right.” The leaves were curling, the new growth was just… weird. I kept telling myself it was going to work itself out and that I was worrying about nothing.

Then I saw the zinnia buds.

In that moment, I knew something had gone very wrong.

I kept checking the rows every day, wanting to be wrong. Yesterday morning, I finally told Justin something wasn’t right. He walked the field with me, took one look, and agreed. Any denial I still had left disappeared in that moment.

After doing research and talking with other growers, I’m fairly confident the field was hit by herbicide drift. We lease about 15 acres for conventional farming and it was sprayed a few weeks ago. I get nervous every time I see them spray, but after several years with no noticeable issues, I let my guard down. I didn’t even worry.

The zinnias truly look awful and the dahlias aren’t much better. When I finally accepted what had happened, I shared it in stories and cried. I have around 1,000 dahlias and 500 zinnias planted, and the majority of them are affected.

But another farmer reached out who had experienced the exact same thing and she gave me a little hope. She cut all of the damaged growth back and her plants recovered. So that’s the plan now. We’re going to cut everything back, give the plants time, and hope they pull through.

It will likely set blooms back by several weeks, which is a real loss during flower season. But if the plants recover at all, I’ll be grateful.

And honestly, this feels like confirmation that this is the last year we lease our property.

Flower farming will humble you quickly. You can do everything right and still have things go wrong. That’s where grit comes in. You let yourself feel it, then you keep going.
