Sundays are for the roses💕🌸🥂
Thought this one deserved a permanent spot on the ol' grid, but also because it was back before I was waging a losing battle with japanese beetles🪲🤬
I tried to companion plant garlic to deter them 🧄 but they don't seem to mind the garlic even a little 🙄
Please send help🥴 Or whiskey.

My favorite part about the farm is all the beautiful life that it supports. It's not the most-manicured farm, certainly not tour-worthy (though someday I would love it to be). If you stumbled upon it, you'd know that my most-lush crop is weeds😅
But if you look closely, you'll find pretty pollinators, singing song birds, princely toads, busy hummingbirds, and sweet honeybees. You can usually find some flowers among the wildness too🙃
A few weeks ago, wading among the nicotiana, I came across a little empty bird's nest. Last week, there were three new perfect eggs (swipe to see). I try and not disturb the mama as much as possible. While it's hard to see in the picture, she recently tucked in a potomac lavender snapdragon that spilled over into that bed (there were actually two this morning).
It's the sweetest thing. When I feel bad about how messy some things have become, I remember that to many on the farm, they're a lovely home with a few flowers tucked in🥰
P.S., we had a tree frog join us in the actual house last night, which was an adventure😂

#MyMothersFavouriteBooks
I was tagged by the lovely bookish_ian who has recently lost his mother Wendy, to share a stack of books that my Mum loves. For every stack posted, he will donate $1 to the Garvan Institue of Medical Research in honour of Wendy
These are books or authors that I know my Mum loves or that are inextricably linked with her in my mind
💫Jane Eyre ~ we both share a love of this book and I remember several childhood Sundays when we watched the 1943 black and white film with Orson Welles
💫The Count of Monte Cristo ~ was my bedtime book for MONTHS which she doggedly preserved with because she loved this adventure story too
💫Josephine Tey ~ The Daughter of Time is one of her favourite books and she recently started a reread of it. The story of Richard III also reminds me of Mum as we visited Leicester together and his grave in Leicester Cathedral
💫Susan Hill ~ I saw The Woman in Black at the theatre with her when I must have been about ten and I was absolutely terrified
💫Agatha Christie ~ The theme tunes of David Suchet’s Hercule Poirot and Joan Hickson’s Miss Marple will forever remind me of both of my parents. They still rewatch both series now
💫Elizabeth Gaskell ~ Her particular favourite is North and South, but we both went to see Gaskell’s Manchester home together one hot June day
I’m so sorry for your loss Ian and thank you for encouraging me to think about how grateful I am to my Mum for my love of books. If I’ve tagged you or not, please do join in with this beautiful bookish challenge💫 ...
But um, how are we more than half past August? Brain does not compute.
An arrangement from an order last week😀 Remember to order by noon today for pick or delivery tomorrow!
Boop.

Do you believe in signs from the Universe (God, Higher Self)?
I do. I think we get these little pings or thoughts or hits that seem to come from nowhere but also feel strangely familiar. And if we follow them, without over-thinking them with our rational minds, they eventually make sense looking back . . . as if they were guiding us somehow.
While I love many flowers (ahem), certain ones have a unique pull on me (peonies, dahlias, lisianthus).
I've had similar pings to grow roses, but my mind always rationalized that they were not for the farm because they were "impractical" (I don't even know where this narrative came from . . . especially bc I do not consider myself a very practical person😉).
Last year, without even really thinking, I bought a bunch of roses with the intention of putting them at the AirBnB. There is the most-charming fence around the house, and in what felt like an instant, I decided to plant roses there, even though I'd never really grown roses and they are not exactly ideal for our Zone 4 (I can be a bit impulsive like that😬).
Even still, I did not consider them "for the farm." Long story short, spring came and we learned that the AirBnB septic needed work, so the field was going to be dug up in the summer, meaning I wouldn't be able to plant the roses where I intended.
I was oddly calm about this, even though I had no idea where I was going to put them. Then, I remembered when I took the Floret Workshop, a fellow student mentioned how she grew roses in her high tunnel in Zone 4. Back then, I had even made a special note of this "ping" in Evernote (where I collect all my random thoughts😆).
It all just seemed obvious. I planted them in the tunnel (even though this is precious real estate, but there just happened to be enough room). It's as if they were always meant to be there. They did well, and I was absolutely smitten with the blooms. Time will tell how they fare, especially given our zone, but I'll share more as I learn more.
Over winter break, I devoured menagerieflower 's book "Growing Wonder" and needless to say, I hope to score some her roses on Jan 25!!
Practical or not, more roses are coming to the farm😆 ...
🙋🏼♀️Who's down for a Sunday Funday?

Pumpkin spice and everything nice 🎃 an ode to fall 🍂🍁 ...
Good morning!

Whether we’re cultivating it for cut flowers, foraging for hydrosols, or making skincare, yarrow is a forever favorite on the farm. While it may not be the star of the show, it’s one of my favorite flowers to design with, creating little pillows of flowers throughout for a super-romantic feel. This variety is Summer Berries, grown from seed, and I love it.
What you think? Love it or list it?

OK, I *might* be biased, but I think that flower people are the kindest people🖤 It was something that was very unexpected to me as a newbie entering into the flower world.
It continues to amaze me and I have so many stories, but this dahlia always reminds me of one particularly kind and talented soul: Shanna evokechancyfloral who just opened the_ever_lea this year (do check out both😍)
It was my first year flower farming. I booked my first-ever wedding and I wanted so badly to knock it out of the park. The bride was so gracious and flexible, but I happened to know she was particularly fond of dark dahlias. She didn't have expectations, but I really wanted to include some in her bridal bouquet.
That particular year we had record days in the 90s and my dahlia collection was not quite the monstrosity it is today😉. The weekend of the wedding, I had exactly ZERO dark dahlias and I was devastated.
I had followed Shanna for a while and loved her work. I knew she grew dahlias, but she did not know me from Adam. I sheepishly reached out to her on this very platform and not only did she get back to me right away, but she also invited me over to her home. She showed me around her stunning garden, giving me her one and only perfect Spartacus bloom, along with some procut red sunflowers.
Spartacus was the star in the bridal bouquet and when I told the bride this story, she told me it was her very-favorite bloom among all of them🥰
Shanna's kindness was my first experience of just how awesome flower people are, and I knew I had to grow Spartacus always and always from that day forward.
And bonus: I'm shocked at how abundantly this variety flowers! It's a must grow in my book🖤 ...
Get ready for ALL the juicy colors today for Kendall and Rishi! ...
This view never gets old 😍 ...
Nicole chicbynicole reminding us of April’s spectacular day with a pretty spectacular team 🤍 ...
I had to pick these flowers from my garden early this morning as June has dialled up the heat here. Roses are continuing to flower across the garden but only a few Love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena) remain and not long before I’ll see the last of the Sweet Peas.
I’ve included the wild Common Centaury (Centaurium erythraea) and Wild Carrots (Daucus carota) which love the hot weather. Two other native Mediterranean plants which I love in the garden are the Blue throatwort - although it’s purple 💜 - (Trachelium caeruleum) and the amazing Badassi 😉(Lotus dorycnium formerly Dorycnium pentaphyllum).The latter just grows and grows although I rarely water it (maybe once a month in the summer).
Also included are Hibiscus, Cornflowers, Scabiosa atropurpurea ‘Burgundy beau’ and ‘ Summer fruits’ xx ...
One from the beginning of the month, when it still felt like late summer. But now the equinox has passed and we are heading slowly but surely into autumn. Not quite at the tights and boots stage, but heading there!
Dahlias, cosmos and grasses all grown with love and care by Sally pickersflowers, nasturtiums and phlox from my own tiny container garden. ...
Posting this to the feed because something about this one felt extra special 🤍
