Branding & Marketing
This journey is not just about growing flowers & food, but it's also about growing a business. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to quit my day job. I have a full time job that keeps me plenty busy, but I am lucky to be able to take time off from that job during …
The Results Are In….!!
FINALLY!! The dirt reports arrived in my email yesterday afternoon! I’ve been anxiously awaiting the news, checking my email every hour or so for the last week – been afraid to begin sowing inside, just in case the report came back so horribly that they would tell us not to plant anything for a year! …
Ode to the Winter Sunflower
Your once vibrant greens and yellows have faded and gone. Now in their place an ashen brown rests upon your face. Your straight, lofty stature is now slumped and tired. The winds have beaten you. The rains have stripped you. Yet, here you stand, still sharing what you have left. You've blessed my garden with …
Hardware Store…Garden Center…or Heaven?
Yesterday was a day that I was supposed to go to the grocery store to pick up milk & other staples for the house. I am not a huge fan of going to the grocery store alone, so I asked hubby if he would be willing to go with me. He said he would be …

And each time it was different, I never heard the same advice twice!! Still to this day, it’s something that makes me …

I ordered it from a company in Burlington, WA, http://www.simplysoiltesting.com/ not very far away from the Floret Flower Farm - where I ordered my seeds from...the soil testing kit took longer to get here than the seeds!!! I was surprised it came in a flat envelope, …
New Seeds!
My seeds arrived from Floret Flower farms yesterday! So exciting!! Pictures below! Her packaging is so pretty & professional, they add such a nice professional touch to an already amazing business!! I’ve unboxed them, sorted them, wrote them down in my planner, and tucked them away to rest until it’s time to start planting in …
How it all started….
I got hooked on dahlias a few years ago. I then tried glads, goodness those were fun too! Things changed a bit then changed again, I’m hoping my life is done changing for a while, now I’m living on 40 acres in Everson/Sumas, where the ice storm we had last winter took a good deal …
