Lilacs!

The first Lilacs are starting to bloom && they look great with our bright green viburnums! The mini bouquets with that duo sold very quickly. : )

Farmers Markets have been a great way to get the word out about our wedding designs.

Our Lavender Products are selling more and more each week. We have Lavender sugar, spice, powdered sugar, culinary buds, dried lavender bouquets and sachets. Soon we will be selling little lavender plants that our customers have been requesting.

SPOILER ALERT!: Some lavender bath && body products are in the works as well. Those will be available to our farmers market customers && also on our Etsy shop we are creating. More on that soon!!  

The first Peony I have ever forced. Due to the large request I got last year for Peonies earlier than June, I potted some tubers and grew them in my greenhouse. This made some customers and two brides very happy because they were able to get my Peonies in May instead of June. Dont worry, Peony Madness will still go on in June, the Peony && Sweet Pea bouquets will be fought over by my fragrance loving customers once again!!

Farm Updates: Fields have been plowed & thousands of transplants && seeds will be added as soon as this rain decides to give us a break!! What is up with that Mother Nature??

Hope you all had a wonderful Monday : )

Spring Market Success!!

I spent Mothers Day at the Schenectady Greenmarket && just as I had done on Easter, I sold every stem I had! This is my first year at Schenectady && I feel very lucky to be a part of such a great market. I have met so many awesome people there already && I can tell its going to be a fantastic season.

My Dad and Jordan

This jar set up for the bouquets is a hit! I get tons of comments on how great it looks. I can't put all my bouquets on the table so I just keep all the extra pre-made bouquets in the back && as people buy them I put a new one in the jar so the table always looks full.

The Penny Cress that stole the show on Mothers Day. Everyone loved it. : )

This gentleman is by far the best dressed man at the farmers market! He always buys a flower for his Lapel. Thats awesome!

Happy bumble bee on tulip. I was so stoked I caught that with my cell cam.

My mini bouquets for M-Day

This many buckets empty only half way through the market was thrilling!!

I hope all my bouquets made tons of moms happy.

P.S. - For M-Day I got a new trowel && jean shorts && colorful tank tops. Thanks to my adorable boys and my wonderful man for the great gifts! 

Flowers in the house!

Joining in on Jane's flower party once again! : )

These purple beauties are sitting in my living room : ) 

When I checked my email this morning, one of my customers from the market on saturday sent me pics of what she did with all the tulips she bought from me for Easter. It really made my day && technically they are in the home so I thought I would share them with you!

Have a great Monday everyone!!! 

Back to the Markets!

I had my first farmers market of the season! Despite the rain and the wind I sold every tulip I had. : )  

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

I know I have been a bad poster the past 2 weeks. Pulling all of the tulips before they bloomed in the 80 degree high tunnel + seeding and transplanting thousands and thousands of baby plants + getting everything ready for the market season + potty training twins boys = me not a good blogger.

Next week will be the start of another market. So I will have a market every Saturday and every Sunday till November. ohhh boy! lots of work but both markets are very high end && are always packed with people so it will be fun. I always meet the best flower lovers at the markets! : )

Books && Bulbs

I am researching away for my new planting of Peonies that will be added to my farm this season. Yayyy!

Someone around here thinks they are funny. "Helping plant bulbs"

I am going to look at lawn mowers because all I have is a ride mower && it is to big to fit in between my flower rows. I am not very savy with things that have motors, thats more of my boyfriends department so I will take him along for some advice. Plus when it comes to cutting grass it cant hurt to bring a professional landscaper with you. : )

Wish me luck. Hopefully I can find what I need && even better if its on sale!!! 

Flower Party Yayy!

Flowers in the greenhouse : )

Happy Monday!!

Glowing Greenhouse!

The snow melted. We had a few spring-ish days. Then..the snow returned. Boooo. Hopefully it will go away soon. I have all kinds of seedlings going in the greenhouse && soon enough the Sweetpeas will get put transplanted to the hightunnel.

4 weeks left until my first farmers market of the season! Yayyy!
