my farmed flowers

IN EAST WENATCHEE, there are some wonderful folks with big land, who encourage growers to use it. Flicker Farm, the big vegetable market garden on the hillside, is the growing concern of my pals ken & yvette davis.  Which is how I discovered the Baguleys, and their generous experiment.  I have a little plot right below the Flicker dill patch. So I am starting florage™ this year, with the hope of going to market and florists all summer next year with foliage, flowers, stems and all kinds of stems useful to local florists who want local flowers.

Zinnias, gomphrena puffs, sunflower.

Gomphrena

Allium drumsticks, dried 

simple and summery in an olive oil can.
