Monday musings…
Children are like flowers. They absorb the environment in which they are planted. If flowers have the nurturance and shelter they need, they are likely to flourish, despite challenges. If you are curious what your children have absorbed ask them to finish these sentences:

Children should be seen, not…
I brought you into this world…
I’m here to speak, you’re here to…
I’ll wash your mouth out…
Why don’t you just…
Oh, I’ll give you something to…

I asked mine and here’s a sampling of their answers:

Children should be seen, not…excluded.
I brought you into this world…and I’ll love you forevermore.
I’m here to speak, you’re here to…agree or disagree.
I’ll wash your mouth out…if you get bird p**p in it.
Why don’t you just…feel free to talk to me.
Oh, I’ll give you something to…cherish.

Flower cart openings this weekend:
It’s hard to believe this year’s cut flower season is nearing the end! Just a few more weekends of fresh flowers in the cart. The flower cart on Pleasant Point will be filled with some rather exotic looking blooms today - moody Dara, the most deeply colored hydrangeas, giant dill and profuse feverfew will make up the fresh flower bouquets this weekend, with some rare cerinthe sprinkled in for extra zing.
The flower cart will be open Saturday 8AM-dusk and Sunday 10AM-dusk.
Fresh veg will be added at 10AM Saturday and is always free.

Ever wondered what a stink bug tastes like? I can tell you if you’d like to know! This knowledge comes to me compliments of my greediness. Yes, you heard correctly. You may have thought me generous and kind, loving to share. But there is an end to my generosity - and it’s called raspberries.

It’s true. I’ve grown them for three years now and they’re finally bearing fruit! Delectable little nuggets of perfection they are. I adore them. And I hoarde them. Every day I sneak out to the garden when my children are in class and sn**ch them off the bush faster than they can ripen. So fast, in fact, that I never saw the stink bug nestled under the perfectly ripe berry I popped in my mouth…until he came flying out again. Let me tell you - if you think they smell bad, you haven’t tasted them!
To my dismay my daughter opens the door exclaiming “Mom! You’re spitting like a man! What is going on?!” Still sputtering and now nursing a lip that’s gone numb from the stinky juices (who knew?!) I hand over my handful of raspberries. Contraband. My secret is out. The gig is over. Thanks, stink bug.

PS If you’d like to plant some raspberry or blackberry bushes we have first and second year canes potted up $5-$15.
UPDATE: Raspberries are sold out but we still have some blackberries. Eat at your own risk…. 😆

Welcome Tweedia!
She’s just burst into bloom and has the sweetest powder blue star-shaped blossoms. Can’t wait to get her into some bouquets.
I’ve been experimenting with using more minimalist color pallets and negative space in my floral designs and am pleased with the outcomes so far. Tweedia will be a lovely addition to this endeavor!
The flower cart will be open this Saturday 8-dusk and Sunday 10-dusk.

Tuesday Tutorial:
Making the perfect cup of linden tea. (This season’s first!)
1. Place 8-10 dried linden blossom stems into a tea sieve. Lightly tamp down. (If you don’t have a tea sieve don’t despair! Simply place the tea leaves in a cup or tea pot and strain later)
2. Heat water on the stove top or electric kettle until it comes to a full boil (do not microwave it )
3. Pour boiling water over tea blossoms making sure all blooms are under water.
4. Let steep AT LEAST 5 minutes and as long as you’d like.
5 Add a touch of honey (IF you’d like ).
6. Enjoy the perfect cup of linden tea.
7. Repeat every morning or as often as you’d like.

Monday musings…
I find flowers most beautiful when most find them “past their prime”. Conventional teaching in the commercial flower world informs us that we must pick the flowers at the earliest bloom stage to ensure “maximum vase life”. So we’re taught to harvest buds that have never opened to the sun, petals that have not met a bee, nor known the tickle of a butterfly’s feet - and we hope they do in our vases what they were meant to do in the sun, all to lengthen their “vase life”…
What if we let them live in their intended earthen space for as long as the bees needed to gather their pollen and the butterflies took to drink their nectar and then brought them inside to live out their brief and glorious full bloom before the inevitable finale? What if instead of staving off death we embraced life in its beauty and its brevity..?
The flowers I harvest and share with each of you - in person or on this page - will always bear the marks of a life well lived: the full-blown tulip, the snapdragon twisting towards the sun, the foxglove bloom suspended between heaven and earth (because only pollinated blooms will drop from silken strands). Every bloom has lived her best life in the sun - as she was meant to. And then we get to bear witness to her brief and magical presence.
