Peony season has arrived! šø
This year looks a little different, though. Between severe temperature fluctuations during bud formation, botrytis blight, and what appears to be some nutrient deficiencies, weāve unfortunately lost about half of our peony crop.
Honestly, since the late freeze three years ago, I havenāt seen them perform quite the same.
Come fall, I have plans to expand, divide, and feed the plants in hopes that next June brings the booming blooms we all love. They just need a little extra care and attention.
In the meantime, peonies will be limited, but youāll still find them mixed into our bouquets alongside some truly stunning early-summer annuals. This weekās snapdragons are double, frilly, lightly scented dreams! āØ
On that note, our Peony CSA shares begin this week, and weāre also hosting an on-the-farm peony design class! I still have two spots available for Saturday, and the flower bar will be packed with beautiful blooms for you to design with and take home. š

The farm stand will also be packed with blooms for Friday & Saturday, 10-5 and at Littleton Farmers Market on Sunday 10-1!
Thank you for keeping us busy and your support of the farm! We look forward to seeing you!
