We had a wonderful, productive weekend on the new farm! The one good thing about having a long to-do list is it keeps the mind busy while we (not-so) patiently wait on blooms!

Been feeling the weight of seeing everyone else’

Been feeling the weight of seeing everyone else’s “highlight reels” on here lately. Farming, like anything else, can lead you down a path of comparison. Seeing perfectly posed photos, clean rows and stunning blooms.

Well, I’m here to remind you that at least on my farm, we are not those coiffed people 90% of the time. For every styled shoot day, there’s a 100 others where I look like I climbed out of a dumpster. For every perfect looking bloom, there’s 10 with insect nibbles, crooked stems or bird shit on them. 😑 For every straight, lush row, there’s another full of weeds.
-
That’s farming, it is dirty and imperfect and sweaty and bloody and frustrating and sometimes you just sit there and cry because you’ve just dropped a block on your foot and your once manicured seedlings are half dead from cutworms.
-
So, just remember. Your journey is special and your own and it’s perfectly acceptable for your farm to reflect that. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk aka my run-on sentence.

In honor of seeing her first little buds starting,

In honor of seeing her first little buds starting, Flower Friday is the coveted anemone! These delicate little beauties come in a range of jewel tones and are loved by brides for their dark centers. Anemones love cool weather and we plant these in October for March/April blooms.

You ever just feel stuck? Like you’re in the mud

You ever just feel stuck? Like you’re in the mud and every time you try to pull your foot out, your boot gets stuck? I think that’s probably how a lot of farmers are feeling around the end of February, both literally and figuratively. Just (not so patiently) waiting on green grass and stable footing so that we can push forward into the growing season.
