Wet evening (with bugs)

06/27/2024

Peas are my favorite vegetables (or at least in the top 5) and pea flowers are a new bouquet favorite

06/25/2024

Currently filling vases in every room of our house because of the color and sweet scent. this is phacelia, my current favorite cover crop and filler flower.

My favorite time of year

06/13/2024

Sunny evening. This year I learned black walnut syrup is a desired thing. So next year we will try tapping this black walnut tree.

06/07/2024

Old garden rose that smells so nice. You're coming inside with me.

06/04/2024

Chamomile is everywhere inside and out right now.

06/03/2024

A nice spring surprise is feverfew that over wintered and will be blooming so so soon!

03/30/2024

Left over Easter egg dye in tulips and daffodils.

03/18/2024

Good morning from the tulip dungeon ☺️ 🌷

03/15/2024

Pink petal-ly overload.

03/08/2024

Syrup made with our friends will be ready soon!

03/07/2024

Petals like a painting.

This tulip is a variety called mondial and was grown in my basement. Most have been going to my local florist via . I saved a few for our kitchen windowsill.

03/04/2024

One of the last dried flower pieces for the season.

02/29/2024

The first tulip I harvested this year sat by my bedside as it opened. Now dried out, it remains, still beautiful.

02/23/2024

This week on the farm I harvested the first few forced tulips. Figuring how to trick nature certainly is a steep learning curve. There are some successes - like these flowers that are now on my dining table - and plenty of learning moments. The photos of flowers that won't make it out of the basement might never be posted online. I'll take them just for myself to learn from for next season.

Winter around the farm

11/30/2023

Did anyone else make a succulent wreath with this spring? Mine got neglected, but now is the star of our dinner table.

11/26/2023

This morning I tried something new to me with dried flowers. It was nice to challenge my fingers to something different, but do I like it? I'm not sure.

11/03/2023

Happy Friday

May you have some bright colors in your day; the sky and leaves outside, or flowers and textiles inside

10/31/2023

The handful of roses I brought inside a few days ago is opening up. We take big breathfuls of their scent a few times each day. I can't think of any other plans that get me quite as excited as roses. I'm grateful for these last few blooms.

10/30/2023

Here are a few of the last roses of the year cut from the garden this morning. It was a tough season for growing roses this season. All the pounding rain storms really took a toll on the flowers. However, the plants themselves grew beautifully with barely a black spot in sight. Hopefully this means next season will be bountiful.

10/24/2023

Today I got very muddy digging up some of the dahlias to save for next year. We had so much rain over the weekend that the shovel squelched with each clump of tubers that came out of the ground.

This spring I discovered how easy it was to propagate strong dahlia plants by taking cuttings. That alone is why I'm going to keep growing this crop.

Thanks for the photo.

Harvest moon - maybe my favorite wreath of the season?

10/22/2023

This week we took the final few buckets of flowers from the field. Another couple days of heavy rain, and potential freezing temperatures mean I really have to give up on all the summer flowers.

The flower fields are fading, but the maples around our house are bursting with color right now. How lucky we are to see the changing seasons.

10/15/2023

It's another cold, dark rainy day (after a week of nice weather). Inside it's bursting with color, and not all autumnal shades.

10/13/2023

Last night the temperature dipped down below 40 F and the dahlias, zinnias and basil really suffered. It is the middle of October, so fall weather is right on time, even if I'm not ready.

One (last?) bucket of flowers came in to dry and we started harvesting seeds for next year. Seed saving is one of my favorite tasks.

10/12/2023

I love this little tiny wreath, especially the wiggly bit of the grape vine that sticks out.

10/11/2023

Just two years ago we visited the farm we bought (from the west coast) for the second time. We walked around the hayfield for the first time and were filled with grand plans for what we would grow.

10/09/2023

It's been grey and cold and four inches of rain fell over the weekend. I've been inside making more wreaths and a big mess on the floor. You can see them all at the link in my bio.

Everything I've got listed on @rootedfarmers right now. Sweet William, figwort, feverfew, spirea Alba and some week old silene.

Spring evening sounds

This year we're helping our friends @littlesalmonfarm make maple syrup instead of making it in our driveway. They have a much bigger, and more efficient system, without any buckets to haul up hill. Syrup season is one of the things Eric and I were looking forward to the most when we moved back to New York. It comes at the part of winter that seems like it should be spring. It has been a warm and short winter, which means the sugar maple trees started running earlier than they did last year. #maplesyrup #climatechange #syracuse #sugarmaple

Clouds of frill white cosmos are here. I love a big bunch all by itself - no other flowers to compete. The Greek work kosmos means order, beauty and harmony, which explains how I feel when I see them in the field or a vase. #localflowers #cosmos #cosmosdoubleclicksnowpuff #flowerfarmer #syracuse #syracuseflowers #wholesaleflowers

Do you know Sweet Annie? I grew it for the first time last year, and it self seeded. Now I'll be stuck with this sweet smelling green - but that's ok! It dries well, plays well with other flowers in an arrangement and outlasts most other flowers in a vase. Right now it's perfect, and I'm drying armfuls for fall wreaths. #localflowers #localfoliage #sweetannie #flowercrown #driedflowers

Last night we hosted our first small event. It was so fun to have people visit the farm and share a meal. Thank you @lovingmycompany for gathering such a wonderful group of women and @thatinsurancegirl @jenliddycoach @emotional_expedition for coming!

This morning I harvested three types of basil for bouquets: Thai, Persian and lemon. (I'm also growing genovese, Greek and lettuce basil for pesto.) Add some zinnias and you get a bouquet with a weird meaning: hateful thoughts of absent friends. Or maybe hating that friends are absent? Fresh bouquet ls will be available tomorrow @littlesalmonfarm #flowers #slowflowers #absentfriends #flowermeanings #pulaskiny

Evelyn helped me pick roses this morning. Which is your favorite? #davidaustinroses

Big, fat, wet snow was falling this morning as I double dug the field to plant some lilacs. The birds were singing to keep me company. #whereisspring #lastsnow #slowflowers #pulaskiny #pulaski
