UPDATE - it rained! A very gentle, perfect rain. And it seems like enough to actually bring some relief to the gardens in the region what with the early shutdown of the irrigation systems. And now the sun is out.

We have plenty of blooms in the farm-stand so you can welcome the sun back.

So we had some pretty heavy wind yesterday, but no rain. And that was good. If the blooms had been wet from rain in that wind, they would have all snapped off. But we had no more than a dozen break. And then the sun came out and it was a fine evening. This morning is warmer with some sunny skies, and we have a great pick today. Maybe the widest variety of blooms we have had this season. Self-Serve by the stem at $1, $2, and $3 for small, medium, and larger blooms. River Road Flower Farm at 1364 River Road in Sequim from 10 until 7 every day but Monday.

Still no rain here and the sky suggests there won't be. And it is a good dahlia day. Some of these blooms are from the new field, though Carol held back cutting in that field so we could send them to a wedding tomorrow. Nonetheless, there are some excellent blooms. Self-Serve dahlia blooms by the stem, $2 and $3 every day except Mondays from 10 until 7 at 1364 River Road in Sequim.

The weather people are claiming we will get some rain. Maybe, but we have some blue sky here at the moment. It may change before I finish this post. We are cutting more from the new field and so far it is very good. We have some exceptionally nice ball dahlias with strong colors. And there are some water lily dahlias that are exquisite. It is a nice assortment of medium blooms from the new field. Carol is almost through the new field for the first complete disbudding, but I am only a third done with the second tie. Maybe before the rain comes. Today it is all medium and large blooms, $2 and $3. Self Serve, by the stem, cash/check/ or Venmo at 1364 River Road in Sequim, every day (but closed Mondays) from 10 until 7.

We are moving slower today as we slept an hour later and tend to chores. But we did cut a few blooms, a hundred or so for a special event in a neighboring town, and a bouquet for the post office to entertain the folks waiting in line. And the sky was perfect. Now it is back to tying up the dahlias and disbudding. I keep thinking of that silly song from when we were kids, 99 bottles of beer on the wall...

Oh and I wanted to show you what happens when you put off deadheading too long. This was in our seedling bed that has turned out to be quite attractive and I was well on the way to damaging it. No one to blame but myself.

We are starting to see more blooms from the new field. Beautiful dahlias, but they still have the shorter stems of the "first blooms", so we have them in the $1 buckets. (And by shorter, we mean maybe 8 to 10 inches, not really short at all, just different than our usual fare.) And today we cut a handful of larger Ketchup and Mustard blooms. They are fine, but we find the stems are a bit brittle this season. So we have them presented as "floaters" to place in a bowl or larger vase of some sort. There is a stem, but it is just about ten inches. And if you do float them like this, they last a long time. These are just $2 each. 1364 River Road in Sequim, from 10 until 8 except Monday when we are closed for chores. And starting in September, we are going to close at 7 as sunset is getting earlier every day. And I guess that is this coming week. Where has the time gone! Blooms are $1, $2, and $3 for smaller/shorts, medium, and large blooms.

It was a bit chilly this morning, but the sky was clear. And it will no doubt be hot this afternoon when we are working in the field. But we aren't complaining. Some beautiful dahlias today. River Road Flower Farm at 1364 River Road in Sequim, every day but Monday from 10 until 8 (though I think we will shift the 8 back to 7 in September - as the sun is setting earlier). Self Serve Dahlias by the stem for $1, $2, and $3.

Well, we decided to go ahead and make our own sunshine today. I think it is working out ok. Plenty of blooms for today and the weekend. You know at River Road Flower Farm we never keep any blooms overnight for sale. If we do have a few left at day's end, they find a place in a mandala like the one we made yesterday. Self serve, by the stem, small, medium, and larger dahlia blooms for $1, $2, and $3 (cash, check, or venmo) at 1364 River Road in Sequim, from 10 until 8 every day but Monday.

I was sitting in the sun 15 minutes ago; really! And it is looking to be a nice day. We have plenty of blooms, most from our big field, but some from the new. We made a mandala as a tribute for Dolly Parton. She was a remarkably kind and generous woman. Our dahlias are a bit different than most. Each bud is nurtured from the moment it shows up. Carol removes all the ancillary buds to give the bloom an opportunity to be its best. She usually touches each bud three times before cutting. And it makes a difference. Every day but Monday, dahlias by the stem at $1, $2, $3 for small medium, and large. 1364 River Road in Sequim.

No blue in the sky as yet. It's not all bad as it gives the blooms a deeper color and we are good with that. A very decent cut this morning with plenty of ball dahlias and a fair number of larger blooms that make good focal points in an arrangement. We made a nice Mandala this morning as we had a handful left over yesterday. We never sell "day-old" blooms. Self-Serve dahlia blooms by the stem at $1, $2, and $3 for small, medium, and large at 1364 River Road in Sequim from 10 until 8 every day but Monday. We have been focused on our dahlia wall that is 25 of our own introductions to the dahlia world. We will likely pare it down to 20 and consider sharing a collection of them with folks as a "wall" or fence. They are all tall and exceptionally heavy flowering, with several that may pass muster for the Dahlia Society (but that's a pretty high bar). We will see.

It was a proper blue sky morning and now it is a "midwest" blue sky (we used to live in Ohio and know). And the dahlias put on a show in the field. Carol cut arranged buckets rather just moving down the row. It takes longer, but the end result is blooms that complement each other. There are a fair number of $1 blooms today, most from the new field coming on. First blooms with shorter stems than we like. Self-Serve dahlia blooms by the stem at $1, $2, and $3 for small, medium, and large blooms every day but Monday at 1364 River Road in Sequim.
