Weekly Farm Chronicles: 2026-29
1-3. I have been harvesting my little heart out in preparation for the Lake Grove Sunday Market (10/4 from 11am-2:30pm in Lake Oswego). We’ll be bringing sooooo many flowers - dahlias (1 and 2), zinnias (3), marigolds, yarrow, gomphrena, eucalyptus, amaranth… it’s going to be quite the display. Stop by so you can bring the beauty home!
4. A small friend and protector in the zinnia row.
5-6. There are many perennial varieties that I planted this spring that were too small to harvest this year. Perennials are always a long game. But they did still bloom, and it was promising to think of what I’ll be able to cut in the future. Pic 5 is sedum and pic 6 is garden phlox.
7. Gomphrena ‘Audray White’ is a classic. It adds the best white pop to bouquets.
8-10. Sunsets in the fall at the farm are always a treat. We often see gorgeous hues of orange, purple and pink streaking the sky at the end of the day.
