Memory Lane Farm

I just ate my first apple of the season and it was delicious!! 🍎 We never get them this early!!

This variety is called Gravenstein. It is crisp and sweet with a little tang. Just perfect ❤️

Windfall apples are just the apples that have fallen to the ground. If we collect them quick enough they won’t get nibbled on by critters. There are so many apples that we can choose the freshly fallen, non bruised, ripe apples.
Last year we gave away so many apples and it looks like it will be the same this year. We eat them fresh, make pies and crumbles, and make juice for apple jelly!

To have them in July when we are still getting plums off of the plum tree is such a treat!! 🥰

No doubt about it, there is something special about locally grown, no spray, fresh flowers.
They are uniquely beautiful as well as being a haven for pollinators and kind to the environment.

On our second year flower farm we do not use harmful sprays or chemicals to deal with pests or w**ds. Every single flower is grown by us from seed, corm, tuber or bulb.

We get so much joy in growing these beautiful flowers and we hope you get as much joy giving them to others or enjoying them at home 🥰

Join me for an early morning mid July flower harvest!
We are second year flower farmers in southwestern British Columbia, Canada and as you can see the field is bursting with colour! So many flowers in July. 🥰

We will condition the flowers for a couple of hours, prep the stems, make sure no bugs decided to come for the ride and then arrange some incredibly gorgeous bouquets to put out in the flower stand for the day’s sales. 💐

And then we will do it all again the next day. 😅 This really is the fun part of flower farming. This and meeting our customers. 💕

Just a little peak into what goes on at Memory Lane Farm.

😊

Almost 3 days outside out of water!! 🤯

They looked very wilty but they bounced back with a snip and cool water😊

We have discovered that certain varieties of Marigolds are awesome cut flowers! If the smell of them bothers you make sure to trim off the foliage.

Has anyone else tried Marigolds in a bouquet? 🥰

When it is a cut and come again flower, the key is to keep cutting!

We can’t imagine a time when there wouldn’t be Strawflowers growing on Memory Lane Farm! They are gorgeous, long lasting flowers that keep producing beautiful blooms right until last frost. And so many colours!!🥰

These are also queens of the dried flower world and their crinkly sound is fabulous!

We save our strawflower seeds but they will also reseed quite freely!

Cut deep and often and they will keep blooming for you. 🌸💕🌸

The transformations we like to see!! ✨🌸

Running a flower farm really takes the whole family & Katira really has been putting in the work 💪🏼

What you see here is 8 hours of work and we still have to w**d the annual field 😅

Have a beautiful Sunday, everyone ✨🥰

The flowers!!❤️😍❤️

To walk through the flower fields these days is a dream!
We have lots of bouquets and posies to choose from.

The cat friendly bouquet is new to us but we will try to always provide one when we can. 😊

We plant 200 sunflowers every 10 days so that we have a continuous supply from June until the last frost.
This means that we have row space sitting empty waiting for the sunflowers to be planted.

We used the ends of the rows to plant 600 ranunculus as well as anemones knowing that they would be long over by the time we needed the space.

Many people do not dig up and store their corns but it is easy to do and it saves us money. In our zone we are never sure if they will survive the winter.

The ranunculus double or triple during their season so we will have more for next year!
Win win!!😊
