Are you growing any of these in your cutting garden?? If you have any questions about growing these or other things (harvest,design etc) let me know!

I love love love growing violas. This is a brush strokes viola. They do pretty well here in shade during the hottest times because we have cool nights and days don’t often get in the 90s. (I’m using 60% shade fabric...still experimenting)💔💔💔smells so amazing btw. Should I put it in some silica and see how it does?? It will change color to some degree but always a surprise how!

Back at it. Drying with silica gel that is. This was a casual pour a mix of leftovers. I really prefer drying a whole batch of one thing so the drying time is the same but this works too!

4-that layer covered with a few stems sticking out...those will dry like any air dried stem would

FLOW with flowers!!!! Every Tuesday morning at 6:30am you will find me on my yoga mat at lions park flowing with Tomorrow morning I’m bringing some flowers for the taking as extra motivation to get to you to your mat. I’ll have these little bunches and similar available to take home for as many community yogis as possible!! Join us...class is $5 and BYOM and take some locally grown blooms home🧘‍♀️💐🧘‍♂️💐

Thinking of summer flowers even though summer seems a long way off. It snowed ❄️in Cheyenne today 😳 just a little. No summer in sight here.

Lisianthus and zinnias are both summer blooms and yet cold hardy lisianthus could be planted for me in a couple of weeks (if I had ordered plugs) under Unheated cover and zinnias will not be seeded as transplants for another month and then spend 4wks in cells until they go into the ground.

I’ve grown some lisianthus from seed but I am convinced it is more time/space/sanity efficient for me to order plugs. The lisianthus pictured is grown from plugs I got in early-may (late) last year and got one flush from.

Growing lisi from seed under lights, I would start it around January 1st (I think, tried end of January last year...too late) is just a battle I’m willing to sub contract out!!! I love lisi when it is locally grown and harvested at its fluffiest state so it’s worth it to me.

I’m figuring out my balance. Deciding what things make me excited to grow and what things I’m just growing because I “should” but make me resent the people who like them. And what things I want but can’t realistically do on my own. All in all I just want to grow what I live. I’m just that selfish that if u don’t like what I like go grow your own 😂 I’ll tell u how.
