🌻 FLOWER FIELD UPDATE 5/5/24 🌻:
WE’VE HAD WEEKS OF VERY LITTLE SUNSHINE AND A LOT OF RAIN. WEATHER THAT MAKES GROWING SUNFLOWERS VERY DIFFICULT. OUR INITIAL PLANTING OF OUR LARGE FIELD ROTTED AND WE REPLANTED MID-APRIL. AS OF NOW, THOSE FLOWERS ARE STRUGGLING (WE’VE HAD 6.5″ OF RAIN MAY 1-5TH). WE HAVE A SMALLER FIELD (ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR A U-PICK FIELD) THAT HAS GOOD DRAINAGE AND SEEMS TO BE HANGING IN THERE. HOWEVER, STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES AS WE ARE HAVING TO MODIFY OUR ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THE SUNFLOWER MAZE, PHOTO OPS AND U-PICK. WE ARE EXPECTING OUR SMALLER FIELD TO BLOOM A LITTLE LATE (DUE TO THE WEATHER) SOMETIME AROUND MEMORIAL DAY. IF OUR NEW PLANTING OF THE LARGER FIELD OF SUNFLOWERS SURVIVES, WE ARE EXPECTING THOSE MID-JUNE. THE ZINNIA FIELDS ACTUALLY LOOK GREAT! THEY ARE DOING WELL DESPITE THE HORRIBLE SPRING WEATHER WE’VE HAD FOR GROWING FLOWERS. IF YOU ARE PLANNING YOUR VISIT SOLELY BASED ON THE FLOWER FIELDS, STAY TUNED TO OUR FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM PAGES FOR ALMOST DAILY UPDATES VIA OUR PAGE AND OUR STORIES! OUR 2023 FLOWER FIELDS WERE AMAZING BUT WE HAD THE PERFECT GROWING SEASON. THAT HAPPENS SOME YEARS AND OTHER YEARS WE REALLY STRUGGLE… LIKE WE HAVE SO FAR THIS YEAR 🙂 WE WILL ALWAYS DO OUR BEST TO KEEP Y’ALL UPDATED! REGARDLESS OF THE FLOWER FIELDS, WE WILL STILL HAVE A BLAST ON THE FARM THIS SPRING WITH Y’ALL!
