As I’m doing dishes in the kitchen, my mind wand

As I’m doing dishes in the kitchen, my mind wanders daily as I envision the field outside the window covered in summer blooms again. There’s still almost 14 weeks until my last average frost date and that feels like forever from now! While the days are still shorter, I find myself drinking more coffee throughout the day and doing lots of planning and day dreaming ;).
I love this time of year as so many hopes and dreams are put down on paper and sketched out for our farm plans. In mind I’m constantly thinking of 101 things I need to or should be doing. I love looking back at photos which serve as my prior year’s journal. I’m reminded of how beautiful each flower is and how excited I am to once again harvest and hold those flowers in my hands.
I know that spring will be here before we know it and soon the field will once again be covered in beautiful blooms. As I walked the field yesterday, I saw lots of daffodil stems emerging and hardy annuals sprouting. It’s easy to lose track of time imaging how the field will soon look.
As you are anxiously waiting for spring to arrive, I encourage you to envision what flowers you want to grow this year and how they will look together in the field. Think about what flowers you need to grow to make a complete bouquet from your garden. What flowers are you most looking forward to growing this year?

January is a great time to start cleaning up your

January is a great time to start cleaning up your garden in preparation for spring. If you grow tall grasses in your garden you want to cut them down to the ground in late winter to make room for the new growth in the spring.
I like to wait for a dry window to trim. We have a 7 day dry streak in our weather forecast with temperatures in the 40’s all week. I took advantage of the weather and cleaned up our front yard for spring. To make the cleanup easier, I start by tying up the grasses and then I use an electric hedge trimmer to cut them down. I then compost last years grass.
Have you started cleaning up your garden yet?

I remember listening to Jennie Love on the @notill

I remember listening to Jennie Love on the @notillflowers podcast as she shared that Jasmine Pearl was one of her favorite dahlias, yet it was a very late bloomer for her.
I usually listen to podcasts while I’m out in the field or driving somewhere. As soon as I had a chance I looked up this particular dahlia online and decided that I had to grow it. Determined to have it blooming early, I potted it up and started it in the greenhouse in April (I don’t normally plant outside until Mother’s Day).
Well you know what? The tuber eyed up right away and started growing. But guess what? This gorgeous dahlia, Jasmine Pearl still took her sweet time and didn’t bloom until Mid to Late September for me. That’s a long time for a dahlia to be growing and taking up space in the field (and my small greenhouse)!
I only got a handle of blooms from this particular dahlia before our first frost. Yes, I’ll probably be growing this dahlia again, but she won’t be getting a lot of space in the field.
I’d love to know, what dahlias have you grown that no matter what are late bloomers? Or have you had success growing Jasmine Pearl?

I always dreamed of having my own greenhouse. It t

I always dreamed of having my own greenhouse. It took several years of saving before I was actually able to make my dream become a reality. Almost 4 years ago we finally had a greenhouse built in our backyard.
This little 8x12 greenhouse will soon be packed full of starts for our flower field! Due to our zoning, I am limited on how big of a greenhouse I can have. I'm located in a residential neighborhood so big greenhouses and hoop houses are out of the question at this point in time. This means that I have to maximize every inch of this greenhouse. In order to fit all of my starts inside, I am switching to more soil blocking as soil blocks take up substantially less space (plus they are much more environmentally friendly than plastic seed trays). I also bring metal racks into the greenhouse in the springtime to use as much vertical space as I possibly can. This time of year, most of my seeds get started under grow lights inside my house and then brought out to the greenhouse once they're growing.
Are you planning to grow any flowers from seed this year? Comment below and let me know what challenges you face with growing your own flowers. I'd love to know how I can support you in your flower journey this year.

It’s sometimes hard to believe that my flower fa

It’s sometimes hard to believe that my flower farming journey started here with this small dahlia patch in 2019. My first summer I grew just over 200 dahlias from tubers and sold my flower bouquets at the farmers market.
The following summer I expanded our growing space to 1/4 acre and started selling to local florists and offered a Floral C.S.A. (CSA stands for Community Support Agriculture). In 2020 we grew close to 500 dahlias along with lots of other flowers. Fast forward to the next summer and I grew close to 1000 dahlias along with lots of other flowers on 1/2 an acre. Then in 2022, we grew on over an acre with approximately 2,000 dahlias.
4 years ago the thought of growing on this much space would have terrified me, now I feel confident and excited for the next growing season. This year I've added more spring bulbs so we will have flowers earlier this year!
If you’ve been dreaming of doing something, do it! Start small, dream big. Its never to late to follow your dreams. I’m so grateful that I started small and I’ve grown in size and knowledge each year on my journey.
What’s something you’ve been wanting to do that you’ve been scared to try? . . #whitefarmhouse #flowerfarmerwannabe #flowerfarmer #flowergarden #gardensofinstagram #ayearinflowers #gardensunset #farmhousefeatures #modernfarmhouse #gardenersworld #flowersofig #oregonflowers #cutflowers #dahlias #dahliasofinstagram #discoverdahlias #inspiredbypetals #dowhatyoulove #homegrown #ig_discover_petals #hoodriverflowerfarmer #fromthegarden #pnwgarden #zone7b #thefloweringfarmhouse #bhgflowers #countrygarden

In 2016, one wedding bouquet drastically changed my direction in life. Would you believe that bouquet was not even mine?
At the time, I was photographing around 20 weddings a year as a wedding photographer. I loved photographing weddings and capturing special moments and details. It was when one of my 2016 brides told me that she grew her own flowers for her bouquet that everything changed. I was so intrigued with the fact that she grew her own flowers for her florist to arrange her wedding bouquet.
This particular moment in time sparked an interest in me that I didn’t know was even possible before then.
I had grown up around garden flowers and now I even had my own flower beds in my backyard. In fact, I had around 64 dahlia plants (I used to think that was a lot) growing anywhere I could fit them in my backyard. I loved having lots of flowers in my backyard and being able to make bouquets that I could share with others. However, I had never considered the fact that I could be growing flowers to sell to florists for weddings that I photographed.
After this particular wedding, I decided I wanted a bigger cut flower garden. One that I could take pictures in for my photography business. Our yard at the time was not big enough for more flowers so I knew my dream wouldn’t happen overnight. At the time we actually started looking for a place where I could have a home based photography studio.
Looking back now, I love how everything fell into place just like it was supposed to. And I’m so grateful for the beautiful eye-catching dahlias that caught my eye in 2016. The main flowers in that bouquet were Cafè au Lait Dahlias. Perhaps that’s why I’m reminded of this story as today I’ve been sowing Cafè au Lait Dahlia Seedlings that I collected this past summer from our flower field.
Is there a particular moment in time that caused you to change directions? Or was there a particular event or moment that made you want to start a flower garden?
