Glads might officially be on my “grow every year” list. 🌸💕

And I definitely didn’t expect this beauty to pop up! Almost all of my glads have been red this year, with one random purple sprinkled in… and then suddenly this gorgeous blush pink, buttery yellow and creamy little “pink lemonade” beauty decided to make an appearance. 🍋🌸 I’m not mad about it!

I planted my glads mostly for cutting, and they’ve quickly become one of my favorites for bouquets. They add so much height and personality—and apparently a few surprises, too. 😂

Fun fact: Glads actually grow from corms, not true bulbs! Here in Wisconsin, they need a little help surviving our winters. After frost takes the foliage, you can dig up the corms, cure them, and store them somewhere cool and dry for winter, then replant them in the spring. 🌱 They’ll even produce little baby corms called cormels, so your collection can keep growing!

I’m already thinking I need way more next year. Because apparently growing flowers is just planting a few and then deciding you need every color. 😂🌸💛

🍉 Apparently growing watermelons wasn’t enough… I had to figure out how to put them in a jar, too.

My children refuse to eat the watermelons I grew, because “there’s too many seeds.” How on earth did we ever survive the 90’s and before?!

Tonight’s project: homemade watermelon jelly! And I kid you not, I removed over 600 seeds in the process. 😅 Somewhere around seed #347, I definitely started questioning my life choices.

But look at that color! 😍

Fun little jelly fact: jelly is made from fruit juice rather than crushed fruit, which is what gives it that beautiful clear, jewel-like look. Getting it to set is a little bit of kitchen science, too — the right balance of fruit juice, sugar, acid and pectin is what turns juice into that perfect spreadable jelly.

There’s something pretty satisfying about taking something we grew and finding a completely different way to preserve it. 🍉❤️

Now I just need to decide what watermelon jelly belongs on first… toast, biscuits, or something I haven’t thought of yet? 👀

Oh! And are those pears? 🍐 that’s next!

“Why on earth are you picking all those GREEN tomatoes?!” 🍅

Well… they’re not quite as green as they look. 😉 Around here, I’m always watching for the tomatoes to start flirting with me.

You know the look—the very first little blush of pink, orange, or red that shows up while they’re still hanging on the vine. That’s what’s called the breaker stage, and once I spot it, into the basket they go!

At the breaker stage, a tomato has already started the ripening process and can finish ripening beautifully off the vine. Picking them then also means I can get them safely inside before they split, get damaged, become dinner for a critter, or Wisconsin weather decides it has other plans. 🥺

And this right here is what I lovingly call my Blushing Box. 🥰🍅

It’s where all those slightly-flirty tomatoes hang out together while they finish coloring up. Some come in barely blushing, some are halfway there, and some clearly have no patience and are already turning red.

One of my favorite parts of gardening is watching this box change every day. What looks like a box of green tomatoes today can look completely different a few days from now.

So if you ever see tomatoes from our garden—or at The Pink Farmstand at Dunaj Farm—that were picked before they were deep red, don’t worry. We didn’t pick them too early. They just gave me the look and told me they were ready. 😉🍅

Around here, if a tomato starts blushing at me, I blush back…and then I pick it. 😂💕

Happy harvesting ✨

This is a gorgeous purple dahlia growing in her garden, too. Wonder where I get my love of flowers and gardening from 🤔 🙃
