NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Guided by the details: the texture of a petal, the pattern of decay, the surprise of color.

So It begins

560+ lisianthus seeds sown. A modest beginning. Lisianthus will be the only field flower focus for 2026. I’ll be sharing the process. Every trial. Every adjustment. Every win.

December

We’ve had one or two light frosts. It shows. The birds have started heading further south for the winter. There’s still a few hours of warmer temps lingering around the field most days and I finally ordered a pair of winter garden gloves.

The still season

An early start on fall clean up. Prickles gone, I carried on. This weekend was one of re-arranging. Moving plants from the front garden to the back, back garden to the front, from the barn to the greenhouse.

A QUIET SHIFT

It’s late July now. The rhythm in the field is still familiar. One of tending, shifting, preparing. This is the season in-between. Where what is lingers and something new begins.
