While reorganizing the barn for winter storage, we found a crate of last year’s dahlia tubers! And yes, they looked great and had sprouts on them. These were put aside as extras to fill in the field where needed. (And then forgotten)

So while we are not proud of this use of plastic, it has proven again and again that it stores our tubers the best! So while we will trial other alternative methods, we will continue to use what works with over 95% storage viability. It gives us the dahlia tubers we need each year for our farm.

For our end of season get together and meeting, we not only put together some stems that were still blooming in our tunnels but we also brain stormed about next year.
Reviewing the past season helps to improve on the next one. While we are not quite finished with 2025 chores, we wanted to hold a discussion while things were still fresh in our minds, fine tuning details on how we can improve as a team, how to track and document our blooms and what we can offer next year.
Some of those details will be coming soon! Thanks for being part of our journey as we begin the process for the new season.

It’s not too late to finish weeding beds that got away from you during the summer months. While the best course of action is to remove weeds before they go to seed, removing them when you have time gets things ready for next spring.
We took advantage of a sunny day to do just that! And put some extra daffodil and allium bulbs in the ground as well.
Looking forward to the new season as we wrap up the old one. Growing better, one step at a time.

And today, we put 3,300 tulip bulbs in the ground! Covered with Gro mix then straw and now we wait for spring. Thanks te...

And today, we put 3,300 tulip bulbs in the ground! Covered with Gro mix then straw and now we wait for spring. Thanks team for getting it done!
(And yes, next year we can space them closer perhaps get 3,600 planted in the same space.)

Thought we would share our method for constructing arbor pieces.
We use (and reuse) a base of wire and curly willow branches, you can also use grape vines too. The wire is rolled over itself a bit and zip tied. This same ‘burrito method’ can be used in other ways too - for tablescapes and standing arbors. And interesting enough, you can keep this base pretty skinny, it doesn’t have to be wide unless you want a ginormous piece.

We try to green it up before it goes on location - adding some greens to the back first for fullness then continue to the front. Be sure to not overfill since there are several layers of additions.

Once it is greened up - we add several types of greenery. This can all be done the day before. On the morning of, we add most of the florals before transporting so that it is a quick install.

At the event site, we install and zip tie it up. Then “touch up” by adding more florals and the more delicate hanging greens and textures.
This method has worked well for us and there is less stress than designing on site and dealing with time and weather elements.

The season has been winding down! We are cutting the last of the dahlias, mums and assorted stems in the tunnels. We have rolled up the fabric we use in the field plantings and next week, all the bulbs will be planted. Then the big divide begins and we will wash, cut and wrap the dahlia tubers.
Once we have a count of the dahlias, they will be listed on our webpage for sale. Thinking it will start on December 1st. Will post when this is confirmed.

Last week I had the opportunity to meet up with some old friends in NYC. We saw some shows, enjoyed some amazing dinners and also visited a few museums. One of those places was the Frick Collection which only recently reopened after being closed for 3 years for renovations.
A part of that reopening featured the work of Vladimir Kanevsky who is known for his porcelain flowers which are amazingly realistic - even having leaf holes! While photos there were limited (and prohibited in areas), look up his work! It is absolutely stunning!!

This weekend we switched it up a bit. It was time to press apples for cider! Our collection of apples are all local from up and down Bayside Rd., from our own trees as well as our neighbor’s. It was a long but fun day of pressing. We cut them up, grind them then press them using mechanical as well as manual labor. It’s one of the best activities of the fall season. Maine has a long history of growing apples for cider and happy to be a part of it!

A little farm update! The field dahlias are trimmed and banded with their name tag. (Earlier in the season, we did a walk thru and confirmed the tag and the flower.) Next week, we will lift and roll up the fabric and then start the digging begins.

Also, our small tunnel is planted with new seedlings - the planting of cool flowers gives us earlier blooms next season. This tunnel had most of the spent flowers pulled, then the soil was amended with compost and granular fertilizer before we planted. Hoops will be added soon so that once the daytime temperatures are dipping, we will add additional covers to get them through the winter. Check out Johnny’s Seeds - their library has both video and written info for overwintering flowers. They even have suggested varieties from their trials.
