Now’s the time to fertilize your dahlias every couple of weeks! We start with a balanced 20-20-20 to fuel healthy growth, then switch to a bloom booster once buds appear to push those blooms. Whether you’re growing a few in your backyard or at scale, this step makes all the difference.

The first dahlia of the season is finally here! 🌸

After months of storing tubers, getting the field ready, planting, and watching those little sprouts come up, the waiting game really begins. As soon as the buds start forming, I’m out there checking them every day to see who’s going to bloom first.

I swear these dahlias have me wrapped around their little petals. 😅

Most people want bigger dahlia plants, but the secret is actually making them smaller first!

By pinching out the growing tip early, the plant redirects its energy into side shoots, giving you more stems and a lot more flowers throughout the season.

It feels wrong the first time you do it, but you’ll thank yourself later.

Do you punch your dahlias, or do you let them grow naturally?

One thing this journey has taught me is to stop waiting for the "perfect" time.

If I had waited until life slowed down, until I had more time, more money, or everything figured out, Petal & Stem probably wouldn't exist. I was also so scared to start something of my own and for years made myself believe I wouldn’t successful at it.

I started this little flower farm while working a full-time job. A couple years later, Matt came along, and now we're both balancing full-time jobs while building this dream together.

It's meant a lot of early mornings, late nights, and weekends spent in the field. It has also meant saying no to things we'd love to be at. We've missed family gatherings, birthday parties, cookouts, and time with friends because the flowers don't wait.
Is it hard? Absolutely.

But every season, when we look out across the field and see how far this little dream has come, we're reminded why we keep showing up.
If you're waiting for life to slow down before chasing your dream, don't.

There will probably never be a perfect time.
Start now. Start with what you have. Learn as you go.

It won't be easy, but I can promise you it'll be worth it. 🌸

I harvested my self-seeded feverfew yesterday morning, and every year it reminds me why it’s one of my favorite filler flowers. If only it bloomed all season! (I’m working on figuring that out. 😅)

For now, these blooms get to brighten up my mom’s house while we’re off on our annual fishing trip. 🎣 Catch y’all next weekend!

Hi! We've welcomed so many new faces here lately, so I thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce ourselves and share a little about the people behind Petal & Stem Farm.

I'm Jamie, the owner of Petal & Stem Farm. I started the farm in 2021 after falling in love with the world of cut flowers, but flowers weren't always the plan.

I grew up on my family's 3rd-generation farm, where growing things has always been a way of life. Our family business grows and sells vegetable and flower plant starts, so having my hands in the soil is something I've done for as long as I can remember.

During COVID, I fell down the rabbit hole of cut flowers. It was just a dream I didn’t ever think would come true. But before I knew it, I was planning what would eventually become Petal & Stem Farm.

In 2023, Matt came into my life and quickly became a huge part of the business. He's always loved gardening and growing things, so he fit right into this flower farming life. Most of the dahlia videos you see are filmed and edited by him, and together we've loved sharing what we've learned through YouTube and social media.

These days, we're balancing life between Connecticut and Rhode Island while continuing to grow Petal & Stem. As we're building our future together, we've decided to put much of our focus into dahlias.

We're excited for what's ahead and can't wait to see where this journey takes us. Until then, we'll keep planting, growing, learning, and sharing it all with you.

Thank you for being here. Whether you've followed us from the beginning or just found our page, we're so grateful for your support. This little flower farm wouldn't be what it is without all of you. 🤍

– Jamie + Matt

There are definitely days we’d rather stay curled up on the couch. Especially on cold, rainy days. But when you’re flower farmers, the work still has to get done.

The last two weeks have been nonstop as we finished prepping all of our dahlia beds, and we’re finally ready to start planting today 🙌🏼 There’s still so much work ahead of us, but this season waits for no one, and the dahlias need to get in the ground.

Funny enough, this reel was supposed to be posted two weeks ago 😅 But that’s the reality of this season sometimes. We get so busy doing the actual work that social media has to take a back seat, even though it’s such a huge part of growing our business. It can be hard to show everything happening behind the scenes when every spare minute is spent trying to keep up.

So while we may dream about slow couch days, farm life usually has other plans!

Now lets get this field planted!

What a couple of weekends it’s been! Between our in-person sale and our Mother’s Day orders, we are feeling incredibly grateful. Thank you so much to everyone who supported us, whether you stopped by to shop, placed an order, shared a post, or simply cheered us on. We appreciate our customers more than you know, and it was so wonderful seeing both new and familiar faces. 💕

This is the first year since I’ve started the business that I wasn’t running around like a chicken with my head cut off for a Mother’s Day event and it felt pretty good! Last season we decided that we weren’t growing spring flowers this year to align with this years goals and work life balance. It was weird, and am TOTALLY missing ranunculus and tulips, but it was a good decision for us mentally. And I finally got to spend the day with mom without dragging her to an event 😂. Thank you, mom, for always being a trooper!

We hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day and got to enjoy time with their loved ones!

Now it’s time to shift gears and get back out to the field. Finishing prepping everything before planting season officially begins!
