It’s a grey, cold, rainy day 🌧️ — perfect for learning. I’m online at the DirtCon flower farmer conference all weekend—watching, listening, and learning how to plan like a CEO, farm like a boss. ✏️🤔🌸

You know the wind has been strong in Canaan Valley when the fleece is on one side of the bed, the sandbags are on the other, and the plants are out in the open air. 💨🌤️❄️

Strong winds. Stronger plants.

Mountain grown.

The 2026 fun begins!
Seed catalogs are stacking up, and the pencils, lists, and stick’ums are out.

The year doesn’t arrive all at once.
It comes softly, with first light.

Unseasonably warm winter day, and I couldn’t resist sneaking a peek under the frost cloth! 🌤️
These bupleurum have been growing through cold, rain, wind, and snow. 💨❄️
Come spring, they’ll fill bouquets — airy, delicate, yellow-green blooms like tiny suns.

🎶 I’m dreaming of a wet Christmas! 🎶
Actually, it’s not a dream. After a summer of drought, this may be the best present a WV flower farmer could get. ❄️🌧️
Merry Christmas!

Hunkering down. ❄️
Last weekend brought 5–8–12°F temps, with the door to this 100-sq-foot growing space frozen shut under 6+ inches of snow.
☀️ Mid-week bluebird skies warmed things just enough to check on the overwintering plants — next spring’s bouquet greenery. 🌿
Now it’s back to trusting the heater and remote sensors to keep everything safe and cozy.
This is Mountain Grown.
