Red Chrysanthemums! Showing color!
The reds are ready for purchase anytime. Soon to be ready will be other colors - white, orange, purple, and yellow.
Chrysanthemums are perennials and will come back for multiple years if it's a normal winter. If you plant them in a good place, next year they will grow to be huge. My aunt has some that are 2 ft across and when she planted them the year before they were the size above!
I love the cute button-like flowers.
Come to our farm to pick one up if you're interested! They will be 5.99 apiece.
And this is just a picture I added for no reason. Just liked the flowers lined up with the cart.
Things around here are slowing down. Well actually, our u-pick apples are just starting up. Galas are ready now, and Jonagolds are next. We sell them for $8 for a 5 gallon buckets...it's around 40 cents a pound I think. Nice apples. Lots more varieties coming.
Other than that though, our blueberries are done for the season. We just picked the last picking yesterday with a machine (first time for us!). Those blueberries will be made into dried blueberries and sold at stores like Costco.
We still have a few fields of corn to harvest but that is in about 3 weeks.
It's crazy to be so busy and now it's pretty low key around here. Now is when a person really has to muster up their motivation!
I am also working on figuring out what I will grow next year for the flower business. It has been so overwhelming so far because there is so many companies to possibly order from and so many flowers I like :) Will tried to get that all narrowed down hopefully in the next few weeks.
Happy almost Fall!
Nothing too exciting has been happening here on the farm. Lots of u-pick apple customers. We are also preparing a 2 1/2 acres field to plant blueberries. That is about it. :)
