It’s always an honor to bring flowers from my garden to one of our local flower shops.
Today, instead of delivering the 100 peonies I had saved in our cooler for Mother’s Day holiday, I sent some that were freshly cut this morning. Sadly, the entire batch I have been harvesting everyday, wrapping, and storing in our cooler, did not make the cut. As I unwrapped them to make sure they were good for delivery, I realized that their quality was not up to par. I’m not sure why. I didn’t do anything different than last year, but I suspect it’s because of their development through an unusual spring. We lost many buds to a two day freeze followed by very hot days. Many of our plants never produced flowers and the ones that were starting to produce were killed. But, the garden is still beautiful and even though it’s not as plentiful as last few years, it’s always so lovely to walk the garden!
I’ll be harvesting flowers every day to fulfill orders up to Mother’s Day. If you are an interested in ordering please visit my bio for our website to start the process.
