I’m excited to share that the fourth episode of The Floret Farm Journal is now available to watch! As we settle into the rhythm of August, our growing season has reached its plateau. The decisions we made earlier in the year are playing out, and the season’s story has been revealed—which is both beautiful and challenging. The August episode gives a peek into our little vegetable plot, which has been such a source of joy and nourishment for the season, and Chris makes his famous salsa using the garden’s tomatoes and peppers. We reminisce about the long and winding journey we’ve had with dahlias, look at some of the most special new varieties in our breeding program, and share the magic of our dahlia fields in full flower.
