An early morning walk in the garden is good for the soul! Especially after a rain. 🌧️
I hope you take time today to be outside enjoying nature. Soak it in!

Do I need more dahlias? Absolutely! Do I want more dahlias to put in your bouquets? Heck yeah!
One thing I do to increase the an amount of blooms on each plant is to pinch the top part of the plant. By doing this, the plant will send up side shoots which will give us more flowers.
The bonus is that you can plant the pinched part or cutting to grow another dahlia of the same variety. I did this on certain varieties that I want more of.
It took me a couple of years to be successful at growing cuttings. For me the rooting powder was a game changer and I figured out to keep the soil only slightly damp. If the soil is too wet, they rot! ☹️
All the attention and energy to grow dahlias is so worth it! They become the queen of the garden in late summer.
Did you know that the flower You Pick Flowers and Bouquet Bar event dates are set so you can enjoy the dahlias in their prime?
Find the details and sign up with your flower loving friends and family on my website. Let’s get together and have fun with flowers! 🌸

Scrolling through photos and I found the fence project
I am very lucky to have a handy and willing husband who tromped off to the woods with his chainsaw and made my vision happen!
The wagon wheel is compliments of my mother.
I’m trying not to dream up too many new projects that require his talents for 2024 but I’m sure there will be some! 🪚🔨

These tiny little plants turn into beautiful lisianthus flowers!! 🌱➡️🌸
The growing season truly never stops! I started these lisianthus plants a month ago and they are growing under lights until I plant them in the hoop houses.
Lisianthus flowers are very slow growers, they take around 6-7 months to grow before they start blooming which is why I start them so early!
This is my first time growing them from seed, last year I bought plugs. Lisianthus seeds are known to be difficult to grow, so I’ve been pleased with the results so far! I’m growing several varieties and colors for the 2024 season because of their great vase life. These last weeks in the vase and are perfect for bouquets or events. People love them as much as I do!
Wish me luck that I can keep them alive for the next few months! 😅

“Put on these sunglasses and pose!” 😎💐
So many faces rocking these sunglasses throughout the farmers market season with big smiles and bouquets in hand! Thanks to everyone who participated in this, I had so much fun laughing, chatting, and taking photos of everyone! 😆

I love how foliage adds texture and contrast to bouquets. Keep it simple and use foliage from perennials like viburnum, twisted willow and crape myrtle. I planted thornless raspberry plants this year for foliage. Hoping next year to be able to harvest from it. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Keep the sunflower blooms coming all season by planting weekly. I’ll stop planting in the field about 55 days before our first frost. I’ll extend the season a little longer by planting some in the high tunnel.
There are a bunch of sunflower varieties! My favorite single stems are Procuts plum, red and white lite and Vincent’s Choice and Fresh. If you want to plant branching varieties I like Shock o lat!
Tell me, are you a sunflower lover!? 🌻🌻🌻
If so, what is your favorite?
Traditional yellow or all the cool colors?
You’ll find a bit of both in my Sunflower Smiles flower subscription. Use the link for more details and you’ll have these beauties to enjoy! A subscription basically lets you preorder so you don’t miss out!!

Disbudding dahlias is worth the effort!
The top 3 reasons why I take the time to do it.
🌱 Larger bloom on the main stem
🌱 Longer stems are easier to make into bouquets 💐
🌱Side shoots typically end up being removed so why have the plant spend energy growing them 🤷🏻♀️
I planted some new varieties and a lot more dahlias this season! I’m excited to share them with you in the coming weeks until the first frost!
Get ready to experience the dahlia WOW factor! 🤩
Join me at the farm for some flower fun. New this year are You Pick and Bouquet Bar events! These are ticketed so make your plans soon. Find out more details on my website. www.bellarenfields.com
