Digging Tubers
The Queen, Cafe Au Lait, makes her fall tuber appearance. One tuber in, this whole clump out! I'm always amazed!
Bath Time
It's November in this photo. We are in full rain suits to keep from getting cold when sprayed. Luckily, it was a sunny day!
Ahhh...
It truly feels amazing to stand in a field of flowers after all of the work. Kevan and I just enjoying a moment.
Getting the Main Field Tilled
Kevan tilling the main field. About 1,200 dahlias go in this field.
Furrow Blade
Tiller off, furrow blade on. It makes beautiful rows to drop tubers in.
Planting Day - What a Dork!
Over 1,200 Tubers in! HOURS of work! It feels GREAT! Look at me in my little mud boots! Ahhh...at least I'm sporting my UNH T-shirt!
Fabric Going Down & Netting Up
Weeds and staking are a reality! We will use this same fabric 4-5 years. Love this netting for our tall little darlings.
Bee Keepers
Kevan and I getting ready to inspect the hives.
Honey Harvest 2021
This is about half of the 2021 honey harvest from our two hives.
Harvesting Fun
Two 5-gallon buckets filled from the field. No flower decorating skills needed...just put them in a vase and voila!
The First Bride
Jodi was our first bride. She came to the farm to pick out what would be a sampling of her wedding flowers the following August.
No Seat Belts Mom!
Just a short trip from the field to the house.
February - The Off Season
Kevan and I are avid hikers. We sneak off to enjoy our incredible state of New Hampshire when ever we can!
