"Sing a song of seasons; something bright in all, flowers in the summer, fires in the fall."
-- Robert Louis Stevenson

Merry Autumn!! The last 3 weeks have flown by here at The Flowering Farm and we have already finished another Summer of flowers! It has been a very special year, albeit a bit challenging with all of the water and then, another drought. Thank you all for your encouragement and support!

The last few weeks were full of Marigolds, Zinnias, Cinnamon Basil, Iron W**d, Ageratum, Globe Amaranth, Celosia, Canadian Goldenrod, and finally some Asters.

"Ol' man Simon, planted a diamond.
Grew hisself a garden the likes of none.
Sprouts all growin' comin' up glowin'
Fruit of jewels all shinin' in the sun.
Colors of the rainbow.
See the sun and the rain grow
sapphires and rubies on ivory vines,
Grapes of jade, just ripenin' in the shade,
just ready for the squeezin' into green jade wine.
Pure gold corn there,
Blowin' in the warm air.
Ol' crow nibblin' on the amnythyst seeds.
In between the diamonds,
Ol' man Simon
crawls about pullin' out
platinum weeds.
Pink pearl berries,
all you can carry,
put 'em in a bushel and haul 'em into town.
Up in the tree there's opal nuts and gold pears-
Hurry quick, grab a stick and shake some down.
Take a silver tater, emerald tomater,
fresh plump coral melons.
Hangin' in reach.
Ol' man Simon, diggin' in his diamonds,
stops and rests and dreams
about one... real... peach." 🧡💚💜
--Shel Silverstein

Queen Anne, Queen Anne, has washed her lace
(She chose a summer day)
And hung it in a grassy place
To whiten, if it may.

Queen Anne, Queen Anne, has left it there,
And slept the dewy night;
Then waked, to find the sunshine fair,
And all the meadows white.

Queen Anne, Queen Anne, is dead and gone
(She died a summer's day),
But left her lace to whiten on
Each weed-entangled way!
--Mary Leslie Newton

CSA Week #5: Rudbeckia Hirta, Listianthus, Rudbeckia Triloba, Phlox, Queen Anne's Lace, Gladiolus, Blue Vervain, Clustered Mountain Mint, and Apple Mint.
