Flower Shares: Week Six

Hello all!

The rain and humidity continue apace out here on the farm. And while we wade through the heat and damp of summer, August is right around the corner. Some of the leaves are even beginning to change! Ends and beginnings, cycles and change. As farmers, we are always thinking of the next season- even as we inhabit the current year. In July we think about sourcing garlic, to plant in the fall, for harvest the following summer. We think about cover crops, and new fields, and stewarding the land for those who come after us. We dream, and plan, and try our best.


This week in your shares, you will find a combination of the following:

Agastache (Golden Jubilee)
Ageratum
Ammi
Carnations
Celosia
Cleome
Cosmos
Flax
Frosted Explosion Switch Grass
Globe Amaranth
Lemon Basil
Licorice Mint
Nigella
Orlaya
Scabiosa
Snapdragons
Statice
Zinnia

Thank you as always for your support. And please check out this fabulous fellow! Madame Butterfly was flying along just fine, happily sipping nectar from the zinnias.



She served as an excellent reminder of this very sweet drawing I saw last week from this comic artist:


Hope you are being gentle and kind to yourselves!

Cheers,
Stacy
