May-day!

This spring has been the busiest whirlwind! May is always, predictably our busiest month on the farm. All of the winter planning and spring work comes to a huge crescendo. Every day something new seems to be ready for harvest or needs attention in some way - Weeding, staking, planting…REPEAT!

This week we have been welcoming so many of you to the farm to pick up tubers and cut flower gardens. A huge huge THANK YOU for buying and telling your friends about us! These winter and early spring sales and your faith in me to provide something for you to spend time tending and growing in your own gardens mean so much to me, truly — more than you probably know! I apologize if I’ve been a little frenzied, it definitely feels like the busiest week of the year!

I will be posting instructions on how we grow dahlias here in the next few days! A few questions have popped up about how the cicadas will affect the dahlias. I truly have no idea :) I am not holding back, if that helps answer your question…

We anticipate our peony season eagerly and hope that we will hit Mother’s Day every year. Our early and very colorful coral varieties started just in time and I am so excited to be able to provide a small number of Mother’s Day bouquets for delivery around the area. While this is more last-minute than I’d prefer, I am always at Mother Nature’s whim.

We are off to the races and are so glad you are on board for the ride!
