Do the Seed Shack shimmy!

Meet the new addition to the flower farm. Affectionately called the Seed Shack, it dropped just before Thanksgiving and we finished outfitting it last month. With it, we are able to consolidate activities that took place in other areas around the farm; seed germination, assembly and production, administration, etc. It’s an answer to a flower farmer’s prayers. But please, don’t call it a “she shed”. It’s the…

Seed Shack, baby, Seed Shack

All 2024 Stems Must Go!

Kay is conducting a clearance! She’s clearing out all of last season’s stock, and making room for the 2025 Spring arrivals. (Otherwise referred to as preparing the flower farm for seeding and planting.) Weeding, raking, mulching, hügeling, and general muddy wackiness. A few weeks from now, you’ll get to enjoy the colorful results of the hard work happening now. We can’t wait to see all of our friends this season. In the meantime, I better put down my camera and pick up the other rake!

That’s a wrap, Vermilion!

We’d like to thanks the hundreds of friends, customers, vendors, and supporters of our bloomin’ business for a tremendously successful 9-week run at the Vermilion Market-in the-Park. Of course we’ll be back next summer…Lord willing. Although we contended with quite an array of dynamic weather conditions, the denizens of the market blessed us in every way. Shout out to Karen and Richard Kime!

We now return to our regularly-scheduled September-thru-October run at the Oberlin Farmers’ Market…already in progress!

Of Course It’s Snowing…

…it’s March. And, why not? We’ve just lived through the wettest and windiest Winter in quite some time, here in North Central Ohio. Warm enough, also, to bring those daffs and tulips right out for a peek. Then…the 2nd substantial snowfall of the season. We were so happy with our our new hoops…and so were the 4 inches of snow the other day. Not to worry, this is just the preseason.
