Sorry I've been a little quiet on here. I'll admit it, I'm a little slow about posting on this page. My personal page, no problem in fact, my friends are probably tired of seeing posts about flowers and dirt. But I'm a bit overwhelmed by others in the industry it seems on social media everyone is doing so well with their farms. Don't get me wrong I am so happy for those of you who are so successful but its intimidating to me. I always feel like my pictures aren't worth posting on here. That they could be a bit more glamorous. Today I was thinking dang it I need to post something to keep my page active. Let people know that I'm here. So I'm going back to my original post. I'm keeping this page honest and plan to share my fails as much as my successes. Because I need reality. So here's what I've been up to since the last time I posted.
**I survived mothers day. I got orders out and delivered. All while trying to cover beds and get them prepared for my summer stuff while the sun was out for 2 whole days.
**Got about 500 dalhias planted not the 600 I thought I had ordered. My dad totally came over and help bust them out in one day!!
**Planted lots of babies whispered sweet words of encouragement to them.
**had my super awesome dog dig some of them up π‘
** went out my box and called florists asking to meet with them to share some of my flowers
** dropped off flowers to people that weren't expecting it (personally my fave)
I am still raising kids, so things take me a bit longer sometimes. Sometimes they take less time becuase of my kids most days they are all so helpful. Its a group effort around here. A group im happy to be in.
Another group I need to chat about is a group of flower farmers that have become friends. Friends that encourage each other answer questions.. trouble shoot with you, give advice, or just listen to your worries.
Sorry this ended up a bit longer than intended but I want you to look at that last picture. That last picture was from a year ago today. I had 3 or 4 beds and a couple hundred dalhias that over half died in 1 month. I could've quit but I didn't. And its such a good reminder of how far I've actually come on days that I wonder why I'm doing this.. then I see a picture like that and I get a text or call or see a smile and I know that im doing what I should be doing. Bringing joy with flowers to others. ππ π
What have you all been up to?
