January 6, 2020 By Nicole Leave a Comment

photo credit: Jennifer Langille It’s that time of year everyone’s starting fresh. It’s exciting as a farmer because it means the beginning of trying out new plans that have been rolling around in the head for the past year. Every season we grow, learning from what we did right and wrong.   It often takes […]

Dahlia Tuber Online Store is Open for 2020

November 17, 2019 By Nicole Leave a Comment

Over the past few weeks I have been digging, curing and packing up Dahlia Tubers for winter storage. Once I see how many tubers we have, I start making edits to the store as to what will be available. This year we are excited to bring to you new varieties we haven’t had in the […]

Flower Farmers Journal: Low Till Farming

October 13, 2019 By Nicole Leave a Comment

As many of you may know, “no till” farming is the new phrase being thrown around. If you grow root crops or dahlias that involve digging and uprooting lots of earth and many old weed seeds, no till is not an option, but lower till is.   At The Painted Tulip I am working on being […]

Flower Farmers Journal: Reflecting on 2018

November 23, 2018 By Nicole Leave a Comment

 Spring, summer and fall are such a whirlwind for flower and vegetable farmers. Winter is the time to review notes and look towards next year. I am so grateful for this few month break to refuel and think.  2018 started out strong as many seasons do.   By the time July hits I am so […]

March 7, 2018 By Nicole 2 Comments

My first few years growing dahlias were ultimately unsuccessful. I grew healthy plants, but they would never bloom. It wasn’t until I met a 2nd generation flower farmer, John La Salle, that my dahlias started flourishing. Much of the dahlia-related knowledge he shared with me is outlined below. When living in New England, especially in […]

Whats growing on: March & April at The Painted Tulip

April 28, 2017 By Nicole Leave a Comment

I love this time of the year because I am able to focus on gardening. As a farmer florist, I wear so many different hats: designer, sales person, crew chief, planting manager, and harvester. But it is such a nice feeling when I can focus on just a few of these roles at a time. So, currently I am the […]
