Pictured here is Coralie, a beautiful blush dahlia that seems to change hues based upon the weather. Coralie is often confused for Castle Drive.

Last year during our tuber sale these were labeled as “Castle Drive Small.” These beauties will once again be available this winter properly labeled as Coralie.

I can’t believe that the summer is already starting to wind down!

For those of you that are new here, I’m Jen. I’m a 3rd year commercial flower grower in Hood River, Oregon. After my first season of growing, in 2019 I made the investment and took Erin at @floretflower ’s online flower workshop. Erin is a wealth of information and so kindly shares her knowledge in her course. Through her course I learned how to become a more successful flower grower. We’ve grown from just 200 dahlias to 1/4 acre in our 2nd year and now in our 3rd year we are growing on a 1/2 acre this year.

There’s something truly magical and inspiring about growing flowers. If you’re thinking about taking the leap, I strongly encourage you to check out Floret’s workshop. Registration for her course opens soon!

“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we

“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.”
—Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 pilot Jason Dahl, in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in 2002

As I was outside harvesting these Sweet Nathalie dahlias early morning I had time to reflect on 9/11. As tears filled my eyes, I remembered exactly where I was that unforgettable morning. May we always remember and honor those who served and lost their lives on 9/11. May we also remember how precious and short life truly is.

“Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.” —President Obama

It’s been a big week here at the Flowering Farmhouse… our daughter started first grade, we wrapped up our 12 week summer CSA, and these dahlia beauties have now been in the ground for 120 days!

Dahlias need at least 120 days in the ground to produce viable tubers for the following growing season. I’m hopeful we still have another month of dahlias, but it’s also time to start preparing for autumn.

This week I’m photographing and labeling all our Dahlias so they will be ready for digging up this fall.

Pictured here is Peaches N Cream. She will be available at our winter tuber sale.

“Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it.”

Sometimes I get caught up in the day to day tasks of our flower farm that I forget to pause and really take it all in. It’s hard to believe that the season will be coming to an end before I know it. It’s a crazy busy time trying to start bi-annual seeds, clean-up, harvest, photograph flowers, label dahlia plants, etc..

As the sun was coming up the other morning I paused and this was the view I saw. I hope you can find time in your day to take in the beauty around you! Happy Labor Day Weekend.

The weather has been cooler lately and it certainly has me getting ready for autumn. I am definitely feeling tired and it’s getting harder and harder to get up early each morning to get out and harvest.

Today I harvested a bunch of autumn colored dahlias. Shown here are a mix of Cornel Bronze, Beatrize, Crichton Honey, and Honeymoon Dahlias.

If you haven’t seen my stories today, it’s all about dahlias… the good, the bad, and the ugly ;) I’m also answering your questions about dahlias in stories today.

Are you ready for autumn?
