When spring and summer flowers overlap the combination is stunning! From peonies to ranunculus to roses, the array of lush blooms light up a room.

Every year I grow ranunculus and I’m always glad I did.

It’s a labor intensive flower to grow in our area of upstate New York. With a short growing season, corms need to be started in late winter in cold temps. I start mine in trays and leave by a window in the garage. For the longest harvest window they should be planted in covered beds in late March. Since I have limited space, I don’t have the ability to plant them early and cover.

Instead I plant them when the soil temp is warm enough to be worked, around late April. The corms are interplanted around the lily beds. They start blooming after the peonies and collapse quickly under the heat.

With the small window of time to enjoy them, sometimes it feels like it’s not worth all the effort. Then I get to make a beautiful bouquet like the one pictured, and I remember why….they are pure JOY.

The peonies are beginning to make their appearance and they do not disappoint! This is one of my earlier varieties. It’s finally in its third year making it a more productive plant.

Last fall I added 12 new varieties to the farm. I’m documenting when they bloom, height, and color. My hope is to offer peony subscriptions for a few weeks at the beginning of June when they’re fully mature.

How is your gardening season starting out so far? I was hoping to have some nice weather this weekend to prep the dahlia beds. Thankfully the rain stopped today and I was able to get some work done.

I pulled the last of the tulip bulbs and amended the soil with mushroom compost and manure. Then tilled the bed and raked two long rows in preparation for the dahlia tubers to be planted this week.

I had my friendly Bernedoodle pals Theo and Ruby to keep me company (they may have been a little too interested in helping with the tilling. This time of year I have to be extra diligent about containing their digging to the shade garden on the hill).

The forecast this week looks great for planting dahlia tubers. I should have some extras available for sale. Once I get everything planted I’ll post the remaining tubers.

Happy gardening everyone!

How do I extend tulip season for several weeks?

The answer lies in the bulbs. When harvesting tulips I pull tulips with the bulbs attached. Since bulbs serve as the tulips food source they continue to feed the flower, keeping it fresh.

Next I store the whole flower with bulb in the fridge. This essentially causes the flower to go dormant, allowing them to be stored for up to 1.5 weeks in this state.

When it’s time to prepare a bouquet, I snip off the bulb and place the stem in a bucket of clean water. At this stage the leaves are limp. They need about 2 hours to hydrate and return to their original state.

If you’ve ever wanted to harvest your tulips to enjoy for a later date, this is a great way to extend the life of your tulips. It works great for upcoming events…like Mother’s Day! 😊💐

Today wraps up the tulip subscription. 🌷

For the past 3 weeks, I’ve enjoyed curating a variety of tulips in many shapes and colors. My absolute favorite tulips featured each week is the parrot tulip. As they unfurl the colors brighten and petals resemble feathers.

I hope everyone enjoyed the tulips as much as I did. Even though tulip season is almost complete there are so many flowers to look forward to.

The next subscription starts in July and features lilies and roses. Following in the fall is the dahlia subscription.

Stay tuned for more details about the July subscription. I will be posting the signup sheet soon.

Have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend everyone! 💐

The parrot tulips never disappoint. This is called Rococo parrot.

This time of year the bright pastels are celebrated but I still love the moody vibes of the deeper burgundy red.
