Seedlings

​It's that time of year again to prep and order seeds for this coming gardening season! I have taken it upon myself to meticulously plan out the garden this year to provide the best possible outcome for the plants. I have a designated floral garden and a cucurbits garden (watermelons, pumpkins, and squash). Next, in the large garden, there are to be dedicated areas for each growing type; a root vegetable section (onions, garlic, etc), a legumes section (peas, and beans), and lastly, a miscellaneous section for a variety of peppers and tomatoes. Below is a rough outline of what this year will look like on the farm.

The floral section will consist of a variety of new floral varieties including:
• Monstrosum Tall Mix Straw Flower
• Champagne Bubbles Pink (F1) Iceland Poppy Seed
• Rubenza Cosmos Seed
• Coral Fountain Amaranthus Seed
• Lady Coral Lavender China Aster Seed
• Pincushion Formula Mix Scabiosa Seed (One of my favorites)
• Iron Apricot Stock Seed
• Champagne Pelleted (F1) Lisianthus

There will also be a section specifically dedicated to mastering dahlias this year, as that has been a constant dream of mine. I am still on the hunt for the right variety of dahlia tubular to add to the garden, but I will update you soon when I find the perfect match.

Lastly, we will be planting a full line of carnation flowers as well as sunflowers (Starburst lemon, Red/lemon bicolor, white nite, and strawberry blonde) out towards the drive of our house, which will not only entice the backyard bees but will beautify the property. The seed starting will begin in about two weeks to allow for optimal time of growth for our long summer items. Follow along to see the process and watch the farm grow!​
