Isnāt she lovely! Sheās the perfect ombrĆ©. And one of you got her in your bouquet today!
The goal these days is to harvest the flowers before the bugs get them. Earlier in the season itās not as much of a problem. But later in the season and because I grow organically itās a bit of a challenge. It would make my life a lot easier to use herbicides and pesticides, but for the love of birds, bees, and butterflies, + worms, and because the flowers will be sitting on your kitchen table, I donāt. Also, I care about our soil health, because the health of the soil determines the quality of the crop that grows from it. šļøšš¦š
These days Iām cleaning up the bedsā spent crops and weeds. Iām also still labeling the dahlias to ensure proper identification for the tuber sale this winter. Yes, those lovely dahlias in your bouquets each have a name! āŗļø
Thank you so much for coming out today and for supporting our small farm. Weāre here because of you. I hope youāre all ready for some fall weather! I know I am! Itās hard to believe the first day of fall is Tuesday! In so many ways itās already felt like itās here! Enjoy your flowers and have a restful Sunday! š§”
