Morgan showing off bouquets, as I’m about to make a delivery to Basics Co-op in Janesville.
I love these early summer bouquets. All the flowers are coming on like crazy. The insects have not started chewing yet. It won’t be long and we will have full bouquets of Zinnias and the celosia will be abundant.
Piper Road Gardens Field Update:
-irrigation is up and running strong
-third planting of Snapdragons were transplanted into the field Sat. Morning
-keeping up nicely with the weeds, due to dryness and help from a fellow local grower that is helping me out several times a week
I believe that your bouquets should be lasting you pretty much until you get your next one. If it isn’t, you may consider the cleanliness of your vase ( use a well washed vase, must be free of bactieria). Change the water at least every other day. And at the same time recut the stems with a sharp blade. The flowers need to have a clean cut stem to allow for the best water take up. They also should be kept in a cool location. Best not in direct sunlight. If you are still having problems give me a call or email me. We can chat about what may be going on.
Enjoy your flowers,
Jodie
