Sweet peas are one of my favorite things about summer. And the smell! I grow 20+ varieties in my #urbanfarm. #pnw #bloomscrolling 🌱 #seattle #flowerfarmer

It’s ranunculus season! I just love how romantic and long lasting the blooms are. These were all planted in October/November.

So close to #spring #ranunculus! These were all planted in October/November and included both new corms and corms from prior years. #backyardgardener #seattle #springflowers #blooms #pnwgardener 🌱 #zone9a

Close up of pink ranunculus bud with greenery. The bud is still tightly closed but you can see bits of pink coming through.

There is no time for fun gardening content when ICE is attacking communities without care for rights. Sending love and solidarity to everyone in my home state of Minnesota. #pnwgardening 🌱

Happy New Years! Taking a break from flowers and enjoying a day at Venice Beach in LA.

Heritage Mum - Jefferson Park. Grown as a disbud from a 1 inch cutting this spring! I love the curve of the petals! #heirloommum #heritagemum #chrysanthemum #urbanfarm #bloomscrolling #pnwgardening 🌱

Diversity is beautiful. What an incredibly boring world it would be if we all looked, thought, ate, spoke, and acted the same. Embracing immigrants makes our communities stronger and more interesting. 🌱 #bloomscrolling #PNWgardening #fallflowers

I harvested the last of my spray mums last week and ran a small fundraiser for the small community Food Bank at my wife’s high school. We went to Costco and loaded up on requested items - SPAM, beans, soup, canned veggies and fruits, and easy to heat meals.

Lady bugs are my favorites - beautiful little predators of our common enemy, aphids. #hydrangea #ladybug #ladybird #bloomscrolling 🌱 #PNW #Seattle

#MadameButterflySnapdragons are so full and frilly. I grew these from #TerritorialSeedCo seeds this spring and they will have a permanent place in my garden. They lasted 10 days in a vase! #bloomscrolling 🌱 #flowers #snapdragons #garden #PNW #urbanfarm

My talented wife is learning wood working and made me a cedar planter for my strawberries. Today was moving day… except I have too many plants, so now I need a second one. The strawberry bed has been flipped and now has Sugar Snap Peas. #pnwgarden #springplanting #queergardening #bloomscrolling 🌱

We’ve had a run of nice weather in Seattle, which means RiRi the garden cat is back doing what she loves - sitting on my seedlings. Specifically the overwintered baby snapdragons. #caturday #gardencat #bloomscrolling #cats #orangecats

We are supposed to get snow in #seattle this weekend, so it’s the perfect time to #wintersow #seeds. Here we have #yarrow, #calendula, #scabiosa, #orlaya, #rudbekia and more! #reducereuserecycle #plantscrolling 🌱
