Fall is almost here and this is what I am focused on 'doing' in my flower field this time of year.

Going plant by plant in the dahlias rows, verifying each plant's bloom is indeed the dahlia I bought/planted. Yes I received some new to me dahlias that were not the ones I bought. So no matter how many you grow it is important to make sure you know what you actually have.

I am culling dahlias and other flowers damaged by the August storms that did not make it. Lots of field flowers and a handful of dahlias. The dahlias I am actually digging up the tubers to check on them, if they are okay, I am just cleaning them, tagging them and giving them an early hibernation. If not okay, I toss them.

I am once again cleaning out the high tunnel flowers. The weeds got wild in there during the two weeks the tunnel was unstable from storm damage so we didn't go in there to work. I had chopped down celosia and now its all growing tall again. haha I have gladiolus in there I also need to cut back and will try and regrow over winter. I may dig them up and replant in spring...we have voles.

I am finishing taking pics of all the new me this year dahlia blooms. Most have bloomed already but I did about a dozen late plants in early July as a test run and these plants are still short and may not bloom for me this year. These will be the last ones I dig up so they have more time to keep growing.

I want to get my dahlia workshop notes all written out better to send to those who came to the workshop. And I'd like to turn it into an online class for those who can't attend and offer it a couple times a year. This may be a winter project.

I need to clean up my home flower beds. The sunflowers took over all my raised beds and are like 12 ft tall no joke. What I really mean is i need to get my husband to rip them all out along with all the prickly thistle weeds. 😘

Indoor projects that didn't get finished last spring (yeah about that) finish cleaning up my tuber storage racks, refix up the seedling rack lights and prep for digging dahlias up. (good rainy day projects)

When you do what you love for a living!💕😊

Today's workshop was so much fun! I love sharing and teaching about flowers and creating a space for people to relax, laugh, learn and play with flowers.

It was such a big class. Couldnt fit all the flower buckets in my suv so my husband had to help haul them all there and in. He got to see me doing what I love to do.

Thank you everyone who came to our floral workshop today! It was great meeting you all!💜

I'm doing a fundraiser to add something NEW to our flower farm - the ability to grow flowers during winter! And thanks to those delightful storms in August that ate up our extra flower savings, I would love your support and help to still make this goal happen!

At the beginning of this year, I set a goal to set aside enough of my flower farm income to be able to purchase a new 8x16ft greenhouse to put at my house so I can heat it and over winter some flowers and start spring flowers even sooner.
We cannot heat the tunnel I have as it is too big and too far away from my house to keep eye on the heater. (It’s 15 miles away.)

The greenhouse I want goes on sale twice a year and its currently on sale now by a lot!

Just two weeks ago bad storms came through and actually significantly damaged the high tunnel I already have. It’s fixable but fixing it has taken up the money I was setting aside for the new greenhouse.

So right now, for the next two weeks I am doing a small fundraiser with my magazine (yes I am a writer behind the scenes) to help raise money for my new greenhouse which will allow me to have flowers available earlier in the season.

If you like inspirational writing and/or flowers and would like to help me reach my goal, the current edition of my In the Fields of Grace magazine is available in both digital and print copies.

My goal is to sell 100 copies by Sept. 3rd so I can order the new greenhouse while it is still on sale.

A little info on what all is happening on our flower farm right now...
*Storm Clean Up went well! Again so thankful to all that came and helped right away! Saved the tunnel, saved the dahlias, saved the dahlia workshop.
*My husband was able to get the side wall of the tunnel that collapsed repaired! We still have some work to do and holes in plastic to fix but we can use the tunnel again safely.
*Our dahlias themselves are mostly alright. Lost a few, a few are showing signs of regrowth. The zinnias are also doing well.
*The flowers I had growing in the tunnel for fall blooms mostly got crushed. I have a small patch of foxglove and lisianthus and maybe some snaps still growing.
*Our first ever dahlia workshop went pretty well! I think you all had fun and learned a lot!
*Our next bouquet arranging class in Amana is FULL! Our last workshop will be Sept. 13th, you can still sign up for that one!
*I have one small wedding coming up and am excited for her to have our dahlias for her wedding.
*UPCOMING Farmer's Markets - Going to try and make the Williamsburg market on the 11th (have workshop that weekend so we will see) and on the 18th!
* I have some of our botannicals (soaps, candles, bath soaks) left and need to do a end of season sale - if you want some holler!
** YES I can still do fresh bouquets available for pickup through September, Just let me know you want flowers.
Our last bouquet club delivery will go out Sept. 9th.

I will share more soon about what all I am actually doing in the field right now. 😉😂💗 Whew we've been busy!!
