I wish I could convey to you the intensity that is August on a flower farm, but perhaps the best way to show you is through a picture: This is just a sliver of our flower farm at the moment (only showing you part of 3.5 rows out of the 11 on the rented land, …
June was planting (soooo much planting) and harvesting masses of pink flowers and not nearly enough weeding. June was a frantic-paced month following on the tails of the three frantic-paced months before it.

Wow, I’m getting this out halfway through January! Normally winters are a tiny bit slower for us because we’re not in active growing season, but this winter has been quite full of lots of to-do lists since we’re currently working on carrying out how to take our farm full time (as well as looking into …
