Bloomquist Jean 🧡

Bought 4 tubers after all the fields were planted.
1 was bought from another small grower. The tuber was sound and healthy looking.
3 were from another grower. No discount, no mention of tubers being in less than perfect condition. They arrived shriveled and definitely in questionable shape in terms of viability.
I literally walked towards the garden as the boxes were being opened and planted them immediately.

To my surprise I have 4 plants. This is the first bloom to open. 3 of the plants took a very long time to begin growing.

No, I did not dig them up to check on them. I waited, albeit impatiently, slightly painful and with many trips out there to stare at the mulch covered ground to see even the slightest bit of green growth.
I may not get blooms on them all this season, but I will divide and grow them on time next season.

🌱Do you have that one that kept you running out to check obsessively for signs of life?

I ordered these cones specifically for this purpose.
I tuck the newly planted plants up inside then my helper/hubby helped spread the mulch.
Once we have a decent layer of mulch I pop the cones out and we are done other than a bit of raking on the edges.
I really do not like fighting to find the small plants after mulching.

I have a love/hate relationship with fall. I absolutely love the weather, the fall leaves and gosh do the flower gardens look glorious! It however also means the season for gardens is coming to an end.

Share with me your favorite flower in the comments.

I enjoy hearing what you love.

I'm not sure I have a single favorite myself.

Share a few photos of your favorite spot in the garden this season!
I regularly share my garden with you all. I'd love to see your gardens. Big or small, tidy or messy. I want to see it all.

Today I cut stems for friends... I am donating 12 beautiful centerpiece flower arrangements for the fundraiser. Come show your support of a wonderful local family. Our Bouquets will be used to decorate the facility and as part of the raffle.
I hope to see/meet in person a few of my local followers at this event tomorrow. Maybe you can even take home one of my arrangements or one of the many donated items in the raffle.
Come support Josh Hogan in his fight against cancer!
