End of Summer

Dahlia blooming

We had an absolutely wonderful summer selling flowers both at the farm stand and at Tumwater Farmer’s Market. I met many neighbors and had a great time. The field is full of zinnias, black eyed susans, cosmos, sunflowers, dahlias, strawflowers, statice and so much more.

We went to the farmers market every other Sunday from June through September. Lots of families joined us at Peter G Schmidt and all sorts of people enjoyed, commented and asked about the flowers. It was a pleasure to get to know so many of my neighbors and feel part of a vibrant community. Additionally, I also had the joy of meeting so many other vendors and learning their offerings. You can find out about them and others at the Tumwater Farmer’s Market website.

Summer was great and as we wind down the season I want to remind everyone that we have specialty pumpkins! One of my favorites are the brilliant white decoration pumpkins that I enjoy for the fall season. Plus, the dahlias are putting on their final show through the month of September and into mid October.
