Front Porch Flowers

Front Porch Flowers I’ve turned my passion for flowers into a small cut flower business so that I can share beautiful seasonal blooms with you from my backyard!

Stick around for workshops and pick-your-own events ✂️💐

The last few weeks I’ve been hard at work getting my hands dirty in the garden. Hundreds (maybe thousands?) of seedlings have been hardened off in front of the greenhouse for a few days before being transplanted into the flower gardens.
A new addition to my gardening arsenal, the broadfork, has been a great tool to help loosen the soil and remove weeds without completely turning over the soil in an effort to preserve soil life. And yes, I have some callouses to show for it!
I’m also experimenting with using alfalfa as a natural fertilizer as well as using mychorrizae to reduce transplant shock and boost root associations in the soil.
By the end of the week, the last beds should be seeded and all the transplants in the ground!

The tulips are blooming fast in this heat and I have a beautiful monochromatic bouquet available today. Eighteen stems for $15. Message me if you’d like this!

I planted some tulips last fall in a new bed I made in front of the greenhouse, hoping for some blooms in time for Mother’s Day. However, the tulips didn’t open until it warmed up this week and a lot of them have short stems at about 4 to 5 inches long. So while they’re not turning out quite the way I hoped, the blooms are stunning!! Would you agree? 💐
If anyone would like a bouquet like this in the next week or so with 15-18 tulips (vase not included) let me know!

Finishing up most of the transplanting today in the greenhouse! Every couple weeks I feed everything with some fish emulsion while I wait for the last frost date before planting these outside. In a couple weeks some things will be ready to be pinched as well, in order to promote branching for more flower production.

I’d love to provide whimsy and color through flowers for your special occasions this summer! 💐 Let me know if you’d like arrangements for any of your celebrations: birthdays, anniversaries, photo shoots, showers, or milestones. I can work with you to create custom color palettes with whatever is in bloom in the garden.

Message me if you have a date or event in mind! At least 48 hours notification for a custom bouquet is appreciated, so that I can serve you best.

It’s been a busy start to the week while I took advantage of the sunny spring weather. I seeded several rows of hardy flowers, including native milkweed to attract pollinators. I also took advantage of this stretch of warm days to till in an additional section that will be seeded early June with zinnias, cosmos, and sunflowers since they all grow well in poor soil . 🌻
In the greenhouse, the snapdragons, Billy buttons and summer asters got transplanted into bigger soil blocks, but I was so impressed with their existing root systems in their tiny 1cm blocks.

The first couple dozen varieties of flowers are seeded and sprouting! Some of these start as seeds as small as a grain of salt, and grow to become floriferous, two foot tall plants in the garden by midsummer. I am always amazed at the promise of life held in a tiny little seed. Gardening is hard work, but so rewarding, and every spring I’m reminded of the reason I love it so much as new life pops up everywhere.

This year, I’m trying out a new method of starting seeds in soil blocking. This helps me reduce space in my greenhouse, and, most importantly, gives the seedlings a stronger start. Instead of getting root bound in the confines of a pot, the roots are air pruned and ready to spread out as soon as they are transplanted.

In a week or two, depending on the weather, I’ll be planting the first couple hardy flowers in the ground. In the meantime, I’m starting more seedlings inside under grow lights before transferring them to the greenhouse. These past couple nights temperatures have dropped fairly low, but my little space heater is just keeping up and the plants in the greenhouse are getting automatically hardened in the cool temperatures whether they’re ready for it or not!

This week’s reading - The Regenerative Gardener’s Handbook by Briana Selstad Bosch. I’ve been gardening all my life but there’s always so much more to learn! And wouldn’t you know, the soil food web is actually an intriguing subject. 🪏 👩‍🌾

We’re almost through January, and I’m just here planning for more views like this in the garden come summer.
