Peony season is in full swing at the farm, and I've fallen in love all over again with Pink Hawaiian Coral. I'm not a fan of its first days of bright, hot pink, but the creamy taupe ending makes the journey worth it to me.

We delivered this beautiful collection of blooms and branches to my dear friend @blokepdx tonight! He's flowering @irvingtonhometour in a BIG way on Sunday 5/17.
So, get yourself to Portland! You don't want to miss seeing his incredible creations and getting a peek inside these historic, grand homes.
I'm still trying to figure out how we fit all of this in one small transit van! 🚙 beep beep.

Loving these sweet Argentine ForgetMeNots with their silver foliage and strings of ethereal white flowers.
Our 3rd year growing this variety, the stem length is now 20", by far, the best year! Long lasting and such a beautiful, useful flower.

Our neighbor has the most beautiful eggs! Just $5.50 a dozen. Let me know if you would like to order!!
I'm planning to stock our cooler at @oregonflowergrowers next week with your preorders and lots of eggs are available from to farm in Salem too.

Truly, I'm not a fan of tulips.
💲Expensive bulbs that only give us 80% bloom harvest.
🐭Voles love them so we have to watch them all winter. Then, the harvest nightmare.
❄️On cold days, they just sit.
🌞On warm days, we harvest the field five times before they all blow open. Ugh!
So when these little unexpected treasures show up just for my table, and I'm in love again... I realize this farming gig is all oxytocin and endorphin crack. So, reordering now.

Dahlia planting week! Can you dig a hole and crawl around on your knees for hours? Then you can plant dahlias.
We need folks from 8 am to noon Monday to Friday until we're done! Let me know if you want to join us. We'll teach you how and send you home with lots of tubers to grow and some cash in your pocket.
