Farm Blossom Series: Set #6, Cut Flowers; Jupiter's Beard, Coreopsis and Delphinium.

Some of the flowers from our cut flower garden are coming into bloom. Most of our annual cut flowers don’t bloom until late July, although I just noticed a few dwarf sunflowers are just starting to bloom already. These three perannial plants get an earlier start.

It has been several weeks since I wrote a general farm update. Since then we’ve planted, weeded, given our spring school tours, harvested our first crops, started our vegetable starts sales, opened the farmstand, welcomed our first Farm Tots, and signed up more Free Choice CSA members. We’ve been very busy, and pretty much stayed on [...]
