🌺 I’m thankful for Nan Hayes, one of my staffers who comes twice a week to either crank out Mason jar bouquets or do field work as needed. She plants, she harvests, and she makes a lovely Mason jar bouquet too. Love her versatility and flexibility

🍒🍓🍇Attention canners 🍎🍅🍐

We buy cases and cases of mason jars for our bouquets to go. That means I have lots and lots of sterile rings and lids I have no use for. If you need them, I sell bagged sets of 12 rings and lids for $3. (Regular mouth size) Find them inside my shed or under the Upick structure. Message me if you would like to reserve a large quantity.

🎂Clara, third from left, had a birthday yesterday. Her mom, Jill, brought the girls out to pick their own Bouquets. All are from Rochester Hills, and are headed off to college in the fall. A fun memory and IMO a unique and lovely way to spend your birthday.

PS. These green Pellegrino bottles make chic little bud vases I think. Find them under the upick structure. Repurpose, reuse, ♻️ recycle.

Lisianthus is starting to bloom. The first beautiful flowers are super short. So I have been saving these cute little vases for them.

Lisi last 2 or more weeks and are rose-like, but without the thorns. The assorted vases pictured contain 4 stems and are $8 each. A perfect little gift, or guest room welcome.

🌸If you’ve always wanted to grow dahlias, but don’t know where to start, I’ve got you covered.

🌺I planted tubers in pots in June that will bloom for you yet this year until frost, plus the plant will produce tubers that you can save and plant in 2026.

🌸Find the pots at the entrance to my shed for $10 each. Varieties available are, Cornel Bronze, Burgundy, Purple/White, Large Magenta, Cryfield Harmony, White with Lavender center, and Wares Red. All are winners in my collection.

🌱They are easy to grow and love full sun.

💦💧🌊What I do nearly every day: Cross M22 and take a plunge into Omena Bay. In my clothes. Then go back to weeding or whatever.

💧❓Why bother to take the time to get in and out of a bathing suit? Plus there is the advantage of wet clothes keeping me cool as they dry while I work.

🌞It has been what feels like an unusually hot summer. And the water is warmer for this time in July than I can recall.

🙏I’m grateful for clean, cool water and for this view. It’s something I will never take for granted.

🌺😎Rearranged the tables under the upick structure to capitalize on the shade and have a bigger space to arrange and organize flowers.

🌻I subscribe to the “Lean” principle of “continuous improvement.” Simple changes can improve work and home life. “The Lean Farm” is a good book I need to re-read. I also ask my employees to suggest improvements. This change was inspired by my bouquet maker Sarah. 🌸🌺🌻🌼

🌻So this came out yesterday… thanks to Jack at the for the great photo and nice press. This is a special section of our local newspaper.

🌺 It was great timing as Marian had just finished making bouquets for our weekly subscribers.

🌺🌸🌻Yesterday’s harvest. I was in a hurry and too these not-so-great photos. But you get the idea of what we are working with for bouquets-to -go as well as what’s out there for our beloved u-pickers!

Evening U-picking

🌅Did you know that the U-pick is open sun up to sun down, every day? Evening can be one of the most beautiful times to be out here, picking flowers with the skies over Omena Bay putting on such a beautiful show. Last night I took a stroll in my pajamas around 8:30 and took these photos.

😴I was really tired and thought I would go to bed early, but I suffer from “restless legs syndrome” and the pill I take every evening wasn’t seeming to do the trick to settle my jumpy legs. Dave suggested I take a walk through the garden and “enjoy the fruits of my labor”. I was already in my pjs but thought, what the heck.

🌲Best thing I could have done to settle down for a good night’s sleep. The iconic tree at the beach + some of what’s blooming caught my eye. I pulled a few weeds and made a mental to do list for the next morning. But mostly I just enjoyed the beauty that we feel so fortunate to have around us every day, beauty that we love to share.

Whoa. Just did my morning walk-through of the Garden and it is exploding with blooms. Here’s a sampling: Red Crocosmia, , sunflowers, hydrangeas, lavender, Veronica, Ammi, Liatris, lilies, Sea Holly, Rudbeckia, purple coneflower, (best crop ever by the way) Statice, Zinnias, heliopsis, Scabiosa in blue and white,. Just starting, marigolds, Amazon Sweet William, Bright Eyes Phlox. Upicker heaven I would say!

P.S. Don’t miss the clematis growing on my arch, planted by my dear mom many years ago. It is stunning.
