A customer reached out to me and offered to buy a bouquet for a nurse who needed a pick me up.

These types of thoughtful gestures are so lovely -- and frankly restore my faith in humanity.

Thank you! šŸ©·

With the large grocery chains selling flowers that must last 14+ days in the vase, it's important to set expectations regarding local, seasonal flowers.

Peonies last 3-5 days in the vase. They're here for a good time, not a long time.

They will come to you looking like lollipops wrapped in paper.

We sell them like this so you get to watch them open in your home.

Obsessed with coral charm's colour change. At some point later in her blooming she almost (almost!) gives off Pastelegance colouring.

I'm heading to the plot today to harvest from our 30 coral charm plants. Cross your fingers they're not all blown out yet. šŸ¤žšŸ»

Some dude in his 60's walked by my mom's garden and asked why she didn't grow any yellow daffodils. She grew all double whites with peachy, egg yolky, and buttery yellow centres.

You just can't help some people.

Also if you can't smell this photo you don't know what you're missing. šŸ˜Ž Nauseating to me; beautiful to others.

So in one of my dream weddings I'm wearing jeans, a white tank, flat comfortable shoes, and have a straight bunch of 40 blown out coral charm peonies.

The bouquet is big enough it covers my outfit in pictures. Perfect. All we're missing is coolers of beer, a margarita bar, and a smoke house food truck.

Oh and everyone goes home by 8pm... right before my bedtime. šŸ˜Ž

These guys have been dancing around on my kitchen counter the last four days. Way bigger than any ranunculus I've ever grown.

I'm loving anemones. Not sure why I stopped growing them after my first year, but I feel like it was the ugly colours I chose. šŸ˜‚

Also impressed that my kitchen is this clean four days out from Mother's Day šŸ˜ŽšŸ’…

Annnnnnd I've requested cancellation of my tulip order for next season. I'm just so frustrated by the loss and unpredictability. I'm ready to let them go.

This season I realized I actually hate every part of the tulip process except handing a bouquet to someone. It was novel and challenging the first few years, but that has worn off. I dread harvesting tulips, especially when it's cold and rainy. And it gives me chest pain to see entire varieties crap out right before they're supposed to bloom.

I will leave tulip growing to the big local farms and work on growing things that fit my needs. There are only a few benefits of growing at a nanoscopic scale, and one of them is being able to add or cut whatever I want without having to remortgaging the house.

Mother's Day Bouquets

For those of you picking up Friday, I've sent an email reminder with my address. Let me know if you didn't receive it.

I feel like the folks picking up Saturday know what's up.... because most of them are also picking up seedlings. šŸ˜

Email me if you're unsure - I'm happy to help!

Some badly needed colour for these dreary short days.

Iā€™m in flower withdrawal. In addition to sulking and complaining about the weather Iā€™m distracting myself with paint.

Iā€™m also burying myself in post-apocalyptic shows ā€” one of my favourite winter pastimes. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know. I just finished Silo on Apple. Fantastic recommendation by Josh. Finished two seasons in like 3 days. šŸ‘ŒšŸ»
