πΈ A Little Garden Update from Megβs Backyard Blooms! πΈ
As we head further into October, I wanted to share a little update on what's happening in my garden!
This long stretch of heat and very little rain has really taken a toll on my plants. Even with all the rain in our area last week, my house received practically nothing! Just a couple of showers that barely wet the ground. I honestly can't remember the last good, soaking rain we've had. Everything is so dry that I've even been watering my foundation! π
And while I've been keeping my garden watered, there's just no replacing a good rain from Mother Nature! Those of you in Shadow Creek probably feel my pain!
Unfortunately, that's part of gardening. Sometimes Mother Nature has other plans! πΏ
Many of my plants are now declining, and while they're still producing some flowers, they're not all producing the quality of blooms I want in my arrangements. I still have a handful of plants giving me beautiful flowers, just not nearly as many!
Because of this, I will no longer be accepting custom fresh flower orders for the remainder of the season. All orders already scheduled for next week will still be fulfilled! β€οΈ
But the flowers aren't finished just yet! π
I'll continue harvesting and creating arrangements as my garden allows through Halloween. They'll simply be smaller, less frequent drops, and I'll post what's available as I have it!
π± Now for the exciting part!
I've been busy sowing LOTS of flowers throughout September and October, and I'm still not finished! I'm working hard toward an earlier start next season, with some exciting new flower varieties and hopefully even fresh blooms around Valentine's Day 2027! β€οΈ Of course, that's weather dependent, but I'm really trying to make it happen!
And don't worry, you won't stop hearing from me over the winter! I'll still be sharing garden updates, growing tips, and some dried flower creations along the way. You'll get to follow the progress of everything growing for spring, and trust me, I'll let you know as soon as those first fresh blooms arrive!
Thank you all for supporting my little backyard flower studio and embracing the beauty and unpredictability of locally grown flowers. β€οΈ
One season may be winding down, but another beautiful one is already growing! π±π
