Planting Season

Planting has begun at The Old Flower Patch!


With lots of help from the excellent folks at McKinley Family Farm - Kristine McKinley, Jennifer Lacy, Frank Moglia, and Nancy Wilkerson - and the man who supports me as I chase my dreams, Eric Nystrom, my flower patch is ready for planting! 




With manure spread, ground tilled, rows marked, and irrigation lines in place, my first season as a flower farmer is off to a fine start.


This past winter, I started a variety of plants (mostly perennials) from seed under grow-lights and plastic in a protected part of the back porch.


With the beginning of spring, the seedlings are ready to be transplanted and seeds
can now be direct-sown into the field.
