The Blooming Backyard

01/26/2026

I’ve got some exciting news! After a break for a season, I’m going to be growing some cut flowers this year 😍 Not on the scale that I was before, but enough for me to enjoy them and balance my work/family life, and spread some flower love, too. The plan currently is to post available flowers a couple times a week, starting in June/July as they begin to open. I’d also love to include my dried flower pumpkins and some Christmas decor back into the mix. Most likely for porch pickup, as that is easiest for me to work into my schedule. Looking forward to some flowers in 2026!

Succulent pumpkins are at the Williamsburg Mercantile! The medium pumpkins come with a spray bottle if you need one, the minis do not. Sorry there aren’t more minis today…our power went out when I was working on them, and didn’t come back on until after 1am, so I’ll try to get more minis ready for Monday 🙂

I’ll share a video with care tips to the page-make sure you keep something plastic/glass under your pumpkin to protect the surface it’s on!

The succulent pumpkin factory has been cranking today. Had to go buy more pumpkins in this nasty weather, lol. I’ll post some on the page tomorrow at noon, pending a break in the rain so I can take pictures. Will also be dropping off some at the Williamsburg Mercantile between 9:15-9:30 tomorrow morning (Saturday) 🎃🌵
