Unweeded notes from the garden

Moving Forward, A Look into 2024
Underplanting of Wall Flowers surround the peonies
Hello!
Well here we are at the end of December and I cannot wait for Spring 2024! I have been excitedly planning out the 2024 growing season since way back in August of this year, which may seem pretty early, but when working a flower business with just a little over an acre, maximizing the growing space for cutting becomes really important. The first year we were on the property I had these huge, wild, over the top ambitions, to complete everything in just one season, two at the most. I don’t know how I pictured myself, and hubby on his day off, as a gardening army capable of achieving this but quickly, and laughably, that proved not to be an option. I learned (and am still learning), how to be patient and let the gardens evolve a little more slowly, rather than telling nature what to do. I realized that it was benificial to wait a while and live with my surroundings a bit more before trying to make something work that maybe wouldn’t be the best option both for the space or for what I needed from it. This coming season we have increased the annual cutting garden 56% and more than tripled the perinnial bed space. Sometimes it is hard for me to see all that I have done, because I constantly compare it to what I still want to get accomplished. So many flowers planted this Fall. I am like a child at Christmas, only I am waiting for Spring.

Fall, the end or just the beginning of a garden
Some of the most brilliant colors of the season happen in Fall when everything is preparing to power down . Like a huge firework finally, the garden does not go quietly. Everyone takes notice as she leaves the room.
