Julyyyyy!
Began the month with the last few bouquets and flower stand before a short break…then worked all through the break 😆 lots of babysitting seedlings, seed starting, transplanting, clearing beds, watering, shade cloth for the baby plants, more watering…you get it.
It’s been nice to take a little break from flower stand, but I’m eager to get flower to you again! The zinnias didn’t seem to get the memo that we were waiting until August to make bouquets again, so they started blooming and I’ve been able to harvest a couple bouquets from them and the other various little things still blooming through the last couple weeks of heatwave. Speaking of which, it’s hot. Like sweating in the morning hot. But the twinnies have made sure that we cool off with popsicles every afternoon. Treasure. Made a TON of new flower friends on social media. Watched the Bermuda grass laugh at me as it grew up through the beds I so diligently removed sod/grass rhizomes from. Enjoyed the basil and echinacea.
Hope you’re ready for August, because it’s going to be amazing!
