Fall planting has generated the best spring income for our farm and it can for yours too!

The most important thing I want to emphasize is that what will work for your farm might be different from what works for mine.

My farm is in the lower mainland of BC, Canada, in the Fraser Valley. We are in zone 8 which means our winters are mild and the ground barely freezes. We also have two unheated hoophouses so we can get away with starting seeds for transplants through September and planting into November, but if you get colder winter weather and early fall frost or no infrastructure to protect the plants through winter it might be better for you to start your plants in July or right now.

The general “rule” though is to get plants in the ground outside 4-6 weeks before your first fall frost or direct seed your seeds into the ground 4-6 weeks before fall frost. If you work with that timeline, start seeds for transplants 4-6 weeks before that planting date and you should be good to go for the most part.

Different plants have different cold hardiness. I’ll highlight what we can plant into our zone for overwintering in a future reel but it might be different for your zone!

I cannot stress this enough so it gets to go in all caps 😉: DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH + EXPERIMENTATION FOR YOUR OWN MICROCLIMATE/ZONE! You cannot just do what I do if you have a different climate than me!

Happy planning/ planting 🫶🏻

Behind the scenes: cutting the ribbon for the bridal bouquet minutes before giving it to my bestie for bridal portraits 🥹

What a special wedding to be a part of. My best friend and my cousin who I’ve always been very close to got married and it was a beautiful day 🌸

We’re starting to take inquiries for both full service weddings and our bouquets and buckets package. Now until December is usually when we take most of our bookings so if you’re getting married in 2027 you should definitely inquire!

Our delphinium has been popping off this season because of our sporadic rain we’ve having! Delphinium is one of our top 10 favorite flowers. She is so impactful in large scale wedding pieces and we love using her for height and width in floral arrangements. She’s also a perennial and comes back every year!

Delphinium is also so beautiful in the landscape and will keep blooming all season if you cut off the spent blooms so you don’t have to be a flower farmer to grow it! If you don’t want to start it from seed you can usually find plants at garden centres.

You can get delphinium in more daintier forms which are better for bouquets but these are some of the larger ones in the delphinium elatum family that we love.

Pacific giants “Guinevere”
Pacific giants “Astolat”
Magic Fountains “Sky Blue White Bee”

If you book wedding flowers with us for mid-May through July you’ll likely see some of these beauties in your creations!

One thing to note if you choose to grow delphinium is that while it blooms well in spring during the cool season and will give later flushes, once the heat hits it is very susceptible to fungal disease- specifically black leaf spot and powdery mildew. We usually tend to try cut down the plants that get bad fungus and cut from the ones that stay relatively healthy. They come back strong the next year regardless of what happens to them in the current season.

What do you think? Will you try grow it next year?
