So we decided this last weekend that we would try to sell our flowers along 99E. Our farm has a field just north of Brooks so we figured we would park it there.
So we loaded up our trailer with flowers.
And made some signs.
And we sat and waited! It was such a beautiful day out.
James said he was getting fried like a turkey. I think this was about the 5th application of sunscreen for him in one day :)
Enjoying myself! :)
James' beloved hanging basket. If no one bought it on the last day, he was going to bring it home. A man bought it 10 minutes before we closed on Monday :) We were glad to sell it but James was in mourning a little :)We had a very successful weekend! It was so nice to see everyone coming and enjoying our flowers and taking some home! We sold quite a bit. It is almost sad to see the greenhouse practically empty but very calming too :)
For those who are still interested in flowers, we do still have red petunias, pink petunias with a white center, Verbena Serenity Mix, Pink Echinacea and 2 kinds of Salvia--Marble Arch Mix (pinks and whites) and the dwarf Vista red. Plus many kinds of herbs left-thyme, spearmint, little leaf basil, parsley and chives.
If you want to see pictures of these, go back to older posts and there is a list of them with their pictures alongside. We also still have some planters available.
James and I are pretty ridiculous because we were sitting on the couch last night already looking at the seed catalogs for next year :) He has been reading the Ball Redbook too that is a big thick detailed book on how to grow flowers.
We are also thinking of growing pot chrysanthemums for sale this fall. That is a work in progress though. We are in the research stage right now.
Thanks to you all that have been reading the blog all season! It was definitely a fun journey this year.
And of course, we still want to hear suggestions of what you want to see us grow next year!
May take a break in posting for awhile. But if we decide to grow mums, I'll be back :)
Thank you all!
