Blooms Because Flower Farm

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY
I’ve been posting this week about the flower farm software I’m building so, to stay semi-on theme… What do software and flower farming have in common? BUGS!

One handy trick when dealing with literal bugs is to knock them into a cup or bucket that has a bit of dawn dish soap in it. The soap makes it so that they can’t escape and fly away so you can collect them in the cup and dispose of them away from the garden.

Crop planning is one of the most important but also one of the most procrastinated / dreaded parts of flower farming and I’m thrilled to say that the .app crop planning tool makes the process a breeze! (And it also makes it easy to adjust the plan when life inevitably gets in the way 😅)

Hi flower friends! The summer flowers will be hitting their stride in just a few weeks and I’m asking for your help to find more great community partners.

What other great local businesses do I need to know? What community groups should I connect with? Who runs your book club? Who gives so much to this community and I should thank them with a bouquet? Who’s your pickle ball partner? I’m eager to connect. I love being a part of this community and just want to spread some cheer this season.

I love a good black-eyed-susan 😍

Over the next couple weeks, I’d love to feature a few things that help me run my flower farm and what better to start with than .app !

The harvest log is my personal favorite part of the app. Logging what flowers you pick when, is SO USEFUL in the fall when you’re planning your next season. You can see what worked, what didn’t, and make educated decisions during crop planning. Being able to enter this once on my phone in real time, while I’m picking the flowers is a huge time saver!

FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY!
Did you know that flowers can talk to each other?!?

Flowers and other plants can communicate with each other through the air and soil to warn each other about pest pressure & disease; who knew! The more I learn, the more amazing nature becomes.

Meet Salpiglossus… She’s a new-to-me flower with a terrible name. 😳

I absolutely love the vibrant colors! They’re related to petunias and last well over a week in an arrangement. I loved using these in Tuesday’s bouquets!

One of my favorite things is sharing blessing bouquets & I don’t talk about it enough!

The bouquets pictured were left over from a 7th grade moms bouquet workshop & I had the joy of sharing the extra flowers with all of the 7th grade teachers 💕

But that is just the start:
- One bouquet was given to a new mom who just happened to be out on her first walk with her newborn
- Another went to a subscriber who brought it to her husband who was in the hospital at the time
- There is a neighborhood security guard who lights up each time I bring him a mini-bouquet
- There’s also the receptionist that I’ll occasionally bring a bouquet for who told me that I always seem to know when she needs a pick me up

I am so grateful to be able to share joy with these and so many others. Thank YOU for helping make it possible!
