Oodles and oodles of these gorgeous sunflowers burst into bloom this Memorial Day weekend. Pick some up any day this week at Renfrow Hardware. If you want to reserve any for yourself on a certain day, don’t hesitate to shoot me an email. $1.50 per stem or 4 stems for $5.
This sunflower, called ProCut Brilliance, is a new variety to me this year, and boy is it a keeper!!

The room that we cleared out in Lilly’s House, which is what we call the little house in the center of the farm where we host our farm stand, served as a wonderful flower prep facility last week when MB and I made a couple dozen flower bouquets for a large wedding rehearsal dinner.

Here is just a small snippet of the blooms that we laid out on the long table before we started assembling the bouquets.

And this is was the finished product! I am so pleased with how they turned out, and can hardly believe that I get to do this as part of my job as a farmer!! 🙂


 

The farm stand is opening for the season starting next week!! Come out to see us on Tuesday, June 7th 10am-2pm and every Tuesday thereafter, through the end of 2016! I’ll be pulling this pallet board sign back out in a couple of days and couldn’t be more excited!
