FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY
It’s officially the first day of summer and that means it’s time for some of my lazy gardening hacks:

1) Plant your flowers close together. If you do this, there’s no room/sunlight for weeds to grow.

2) For those of you growing summer annuals like zinnias, cosmos, and gomphrena: don’t feel like you need to pick all the flowers. Let some “die” on the plant, these will drop seeds and give you flowers for next year!

3) Remember that no matter how hard you try, you can’t control nature 😅 so give yourself plenty of grace and let nature do its thing… Case in point: this is a photo of last year’s zinnias; because of our wet May & June mine aren’t nearly this big yet!

I am LOVING this mix of late spring and early summer flowers thanks to the weird weather we’ve had this year.

Spotlights on: basket flower, garden roses, black-eyed-susan & lisianthus, the first (usable) zinnias, and the final wave of bellflower 🌟

I can’t wait to turn these beauties into tomorrow’s bouquets 😍

FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY.
Yes, I posted a picture of dirt 🤣 but I’ve heard so many people complain about our awful clay soil that I had to share. There is hope!
This is the soil in a flowerbed that I’ve been using for 4 years and I was able to dig my ranunculus out using only my hands!!

Here are a few tips:
- When you start a new flowerbed mix in compost & peat moss
- When you’re removing annuals, cut the stalk off at ground level but leave the roots for the worms and other critters to munch on
- In spring and fall add 2-4” of compost on top of your soil & if you have a garden fork (like a broad fork or a hoe), gently fork it in to the clay soil (but you can also just put it on top and let the worms spread it for you)

I hope this helps!!

It’s delivery day and the start of the Summer Bouquet Pack deliveries 😍

I’m grateful this morning… Grateful that the storms last night weren’t nearly as bad as predicted and grateful for the smell of gardenias!

Gardenia and Magnolia are two of my favorite floral scents; what are your favorites?

FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY
I’m growing lisianthus (or “lisi’s” as flower farmers like to call them) for the first time this year and it looks like they’re about to bloom!!

I haven’t grown these in the past because they take FOREVER! Lisianthus take around 6 months from starting the seed until they bloom (for reference, most other flowers I grow from seed take ~2 months).

Second photo used with permission from a fellow flower farmer so that you can brace yourself for the beauty 😍

It was so fun coming back from vacation to see all the new flowers blooming!

These two are new this year!
Pink: Flowering to***co (no it’s not the same as smoking to***co so please don’t try! 😅)
Purple: Basket flower

When we left town, I honestly wasn’t sure what (if anything) would be blooming when we got back 😅 but I’m loving the somewhat wild look that’s going on this week 😍

06/02/2025

I have a confession 😇 we’ve actually been out of town for the past ~2 weeks! More pictures coming soon (once the jet lag wears off 😅).

THANK YOU to all my Year in Flowers friends for letting me take the 5th week of the month to go on this adventure!

Before I add more pictures, anyone want to guess where we went?

FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY.
Let’s talk more about roses. 🌹 As the first flush of rose blooms peters out, now is a great time to fertilize your roses. It’s also important to deadhead (cut off any old flower heads).

This not only encourages your roses to bloom again but also helps prevent the dreaded rose rosette disease (since the mites that spread it like to live in the old flower heads). Another preventative measure that I take is cleaning my pruners between rose bushes; I just wipe them off with an alcohol swab so that if one rose bush is sick, I don’t pass the disease on when I cut.

Hot tip: Wear thick gloves and maybe long sleeves! 😅
