Nature is f*cking amazing.
Introducing, hydroponic tulips! I, 100%, do not have the space to grow hundreds of tulips outdoors. So I thought we would give these prechilled babies a try! Sadly, many arrived with fungal growth. I did my best to salvage what I could beyond the ones that were a definite toss, so there's really no telling if all of them will bloom or not. But that's part of the excitement, isn't it?
Who needs gambling?!

It's an interesting time of the season. We've had a few nights that have dropped below 0, but things are still hanging on. There have even been a few surprises (talking to you, cup and saucer vine!). Most of the blooms look beautiful from afar, but have many imperfections up close. All that really means is that I, and the neighbourhood, get to enjoy the blooms for as long as they last.

I did some cutting last night. With it being Thanksgiving and my studio team all battling cold and flu season (myself included), I forgot my bucket of fresh cuts in my vehicle. I could easily have brought it in at the end of the day, but we are closed for the long weekend, and... With the end of the season so close, I thought it would be nice for them to be enjoyed for as long as possible. And, sometimes in the rush of, well, ALL the seasons, I forget to remember how amazing my careers are. To grow things. To share their beauty with others. To have that beauty highlight all kinds of moments, each with their own importance.

This beauty greeted me upon my arrival home tonight. I wish I could say that the words out of my mouth were of admiration, but instead they were, "Are you f*cking kidding me? 8 months and you're going to give me a bloom THE NIGHT BEFORE FROST?!"

I suppose this Diva wanted a fashionably late arrival.

Cup and Saucer vine.
Beautiful, but it may be a pass for me next season.

It never stops.

Cover crop in the large anemone/ranunculus bed has been sown, and now it's time to get some late summer seeding started to take the place of other crops as they fade.

I've definitely felt like I've been floundering these past few weeks. Unexpected changes (are somehow expected but still take you by surprise) have definitely slowed me down on the patch front, as my focus has had to be at . But there have been some high points. The sunflowers have started blooming and they are so gorgeous (pictures to come). I seem to only have thrips and some weird small beetles that attacked the remnants of my stock. Which is FINE, as I was about to dig them up anyways, but still. When they come, they come in strong.

I'm not sure what the coming weeks will bring. Temperatures are supposed to drop into the low twenties, with some nighttime temps being anywhere between 6-10 degrees. The dahlias have finally started to bud and bloom...

Is it weird to be tired, but still in awe and already planning for next season? What weird, new addiction have I gotten myself into?

P.s. My hands and feet are always dirty these days.
