Happy Friday! 🌱🌸 Quick indoor seedling tour as we transition to hardening off and planting out our summer annuals in the next couple weeks. How amazing are these Mira Amaranth seedlings from @antoniovalenteflowers hot pink with ✨97% germination✨ Can’t wait to see these beauties come to life outside!

Instagram might be a ✨highlight reel✨ but it’s important to remember that flower farming comes with (hopefully) many wins and often some losses sprinkled in 🫠🌸🫶🏼 all for the love of flowers am I right?! Clarkia for example. This was my year to try it all, buy the seed, throw it in a tray and see what happens. Clarkia has been a tough one and that sometimes hurts my ego to admit. My first round immediately took a turn after germination so I tried again hoping for better results. Round 2 seemed to continue to hate the 3/4 soil blocks. Love that for me. So, for the 3rd and final round I chaos seed started into one of our daughters school lunch take out containers she brings home in her backpack daily. Mostly out of spite and frustration that my organized type A process wasn’t working for unknown reasons. But believe it or not, that minimal effort, low maintenance process took the gold. I mean, she’s not perfection, but she’s alive and plantable so sometimes that’s the win. So now, not only do we get to harvest some cutie Clarkia later on this summer, we are also getting to recycle plastic containers that would otherwise go directly into the bin. Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌱💛✨ (yesterday 🫣)
