What one year can do!
The first photo is the farm today. The second was taken at exactly the same time last year, when we had only just put up the greenhouse and hadn’t even begun making the beds.
Now there are rows of flowers, healthy soil and a working farm that has become a place for people to gather, learn and experience everything we are growing. This particular patch is where the breeding dreams come true and where all the seeds collect ring for resale are planted.
And then there is that beautiful light glowing through the greenhouse like a beacon, with all the dahlias tucked inside and slowly warming up for the new season. It feels almost as though the field is telling me, “It’s time.”
It is easy to focus on everything that still needs to be done, but looking back reminds me just how far we have come. Bed by bed, seed by seed, season by season.
A year of hard work, faith, learning and plenty of growing, for the farm and for me.
What one year can do indeed!
