Is this the way to amaryllis? Growing in the basement while winter howls. ❄️ Hoping to bloom by Valentine’s! ❤️

Mountain Grown is accepting that the winter wind will blow in Canaan Valley, the calling to overwinter flowers, and the wisdom to fill yet more sandbags.

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 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!
