Weekly Farm Chronicles: 2026-11
1. After a couple weeks of slowness and not a lot blooming, the farm is BACK. This first photo is a DIY Event Bucket that left the farm this week. I offer these to my retail customers who want to arrange flowers themselves. Check out the link in bio for more info.
2-4. This is hands down my best year of roses. The plants have really come into their own and are producing long stems with giant blooms. I grow just under a dozen different varieties. I’m a sucker for David Austin roses, so most of what I grow is from that hybridizer.
5-6. Sweet peas are also leveling up their game! I think I cut 100 stems this morning, and that was after harvesting yesterday too. These will be around for a little while longer - look for them at the wholesale market and in mixed bouquets.
7-8. New crops have arrived with their first stems and are about to explode! Yarrow is in picture number 7. It’s a darling perennial that never stops from May until frost. It goes with everything and I use it often. Number 8 is campanula, my much awaited and anticipated crop this year because it’s my first time growing it! These were planted in the field in October, overwintered with a low tunnel, and have been slowly growing suuuuper tall. 2-3 ft stems will be headed to OFGA next week.
9. Here’s a kitty hiding in the larkspur. He’s become quite the hunter and I’m glad to have him keeping the vole population under control.
So much more to come as we launch into summer! Check back in next week ✌️
