We have been developing a partnership with the venerable Connecticut company, White Flower Farm, and I am over the moon to be able to offer fresh-cut, sustainably grown local flowers to customers across the country. The White Flower Farm spring catalog hits mailboxes this week, just in time to place your order for Mother's Day!<br />

The ranunculus and anemones are planted in the hoop houses, and the poppies are germinating all over the farm! The tulips and heirloom narcissus are flying out of the ground, and the peonies are poking up through the leaf mulch. Every day is like Christmas, discovering what mother earth has brought us each day.<br />

Mother nature has dealt us a poor hand with the worst drought New England has seen in two decades. And now we are in the throws of a massive heat wave! But we stumble onward, doing the best we can to keep the flowers healthy and happy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Weddings continue to be a great source of joy for me, as they bring together my best skills; organizing and designing. Every week, I'm in awe of how beautiful muddy feet flower farm weddings are because the flowers that I grow are far superior to those found at the wholesale market or through the mail. Cafe au lait dahlias? Cut daily from the field, and used freely in these late summer weddings.<br />
<br />

I have an amazing staff this summer, and I couldn't have a life and run the farm without them. they are talented, hard working and best of all, love flowers as much as I do!<br />

Sarah, a recent transplant from Orcas Island, WA found me through Floret's farmer-florist directory. And Honey has worked for years at a revered farm in South Dartmouth, MA near our beach house in Westport, and makes the most exquisite flower crowns and bracelets.<br />

I am still here, growing flowers and boys and the farm. in fact, this was most successful year to date for muddy feet flower farm. a lot happened during the growing season: weddings booked almost every weekend, record-breaking sales at the Westport farmers market, an exciting new partnership with the home and garden mecca, Terrain, and soon-to-be, a collaboration with the exclusive catalog, White Flower Farm.<br />

dahlias continue to be the most lucrative and rewarding flower, but I fell in love with so many unique and gorgeous blooms. we added a hellebores garden, planted lots of trees, expanded beds and added more. a third hoop house is in the works so I will be able to start my own seedlings and hone my succession planting skills even more.<br />

I designed weddings all over new england, and worked with the nicest brides and grooms and their families. I am so grateful to be a part of such an intimate and important day in their lives. it humbles me to no end the trust that they instill in me. 2016 is already getting booked up!<br />

a new and improved website is in the works for the off-season. it is time to come to terms with the fact that the hundreds of blog posts that I write in my head while I'm out working in the field never make it into the computer and out into the world. there just isn't enough time in the day.<br />

jack frost visited early this year ("why doesn't jack frost like flowers, mama?" asked my littlest boy.) things are winding down. we are busy putting the farm to rest, digging up dahlia tubers, planting bulbs for spring and harvesting the last chrysanthemums. so, I'll sign off for now, but promise to be back soon with more photos and reflections from the season.<br />

one month ago, we were waiting (impatiently) for the final foot of snow to melt, and today we're capping off a solid week of 80+ degree days, with<i> no</i> rainfall for over three weeks.<br />

what does this mean? for the average person, it means that spring has been the most spectacular symphony of flowering <i>everything</i>, but for the flower farmer, it means that four weeks worth of carefully planned succession plantings have all bloomed <i>all at once</i>.<br />

my ranunculus crop flew out of the ground and bloomed on stubby, short stems. thankfully, florists are up to their ears in prom season and have snatched up these desirable (and high maintenance) flowers for corsages.<br />

the unseasonably hot, dry weather also means every flowering tree variety, from the earliest blooming magnolias to the queen of spring lilacs, and every crabapple, apple, cherry, plum, quince, dogwood, viburnum, redbud etc., etc., has unfurled its glory,<i> all this past week. </i>considering we had over 7 feet of snow melt to replenish our parched ground, the trees have responded with the most floriferous and splendid show on record. I can hardly keep from driving off the road as I rubber-neck and gawk at the glory.<br />

but tender transplants don't benefit from the deep quench of spring melt. they need cool temperatures and gentle rain to settle into their new beds. the harsh hot sun and the lack of rain has wreaked havoc on my cool flower seedlings and seed beds. we have been running our well ragged hand watering, sprinkling and irrigating, all in a desperate attempt to keep them alive. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that we've managed to keep the 1000's of transplants happy (enough) to profit from their flowers in a few weeks.<br />

the most challenging thing about running a flower farm business is the herculean amount of work that must be accomplished daily, from seeding, transplanting, fertilizing, <i>watering</i>, weeding, picking, bucket washing, leaf stripping, bunching, bouqueting and arranging to marketing, emailing, billing, accounting and driving. whew! and did I mention I have three children to feed and nurture?<br />

all three boys pile on excessive neediness this time of year, the top of the flower season when mom really gets busy, distracted and all around frazzled. my youngest is still my best and most willing helper in the field, always willing to pick flowers and give himself a "chicken bath." (for those of you who don't know, chickens "bathe" by rolling around in the dirt!) my middle son still negotiates chores with ipad time, and my oldest boy still loves his special one-on-one time with me, helping design and sell at markets. I also have to crow that he just got cast in Connecticut Repertory Theater's production of Peter Pan. my first role as a stage mom!<br />

<br />
for those of you not familiar with Terrain, it is the home and garden store owned by my personal shopping mecca, Anthropologie. There are only two outposts; the flagship store in Philadelphia and Westport. the store is filled with beautiful and expensive garden furniture, plants, terrariums, natural body products, eye candy cookbooks and artisan foods, as well as a chic, european-style cafe and restaurant. but most importantly, it is housed in a lofty old warehouse space with knock-out visual design everywhere you look.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was a nasty weather day, and I had the good fortune of being positioned in a prominent spot indoors. shoppers snatched up dahlias and harvest bouquets and signed up to order thanksgiving centerpieces. the president of the company popped in for a surprise visit and held court at a large farm table in front of my stand. naturally, he had to buy flowers and after thanking him for supporting the farmers market, I told him that Terrain needed to sell farm fresh cut flowers more regularly. or, more accurately, Terrain needs to sell muddy feet flowers more regularly! <br />
<br />

I had a ball chatting with customers and staff and am keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed for another opportunity to be at Terrain.<br />
