Fall and Flowers - We're Sowing Sweet Peas and Not Sweating Our Butts Off Anymore!

The snapdragons snuggled up in their new mulch.

While our seasonal    experience is quite a bit more nuanced here in New Orleans than in other northernly environs, it's not to say that we can't feel the shifts.  The air is a bit cooler, your skin feels different without the sweat, and there is a general increase in black and gold attire.

It especially felt like Fall yesterday at the flower farm, since we were in swimming in brown leaves and twigs, thanks to the tree chipper guy who dumped off a staggering 14 yards last weekend  (It was supposedly 13 yards, but I've been calling it 14).  Thank so much to everybody who helped us move that in a pinch!

Fall also means sweet pea sowing time!  We sowed them along our fence line, in addition to a variety of bachelor buttons, nigellas, calendulas, baby's breath and dill.

The church down the block keeps the time for us while we work.
