Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

The flowers are about done for this year. This was one of the last big pickings that I expect to get out of the flowers beds. This time of year the colors are so rich. Above are zinnias, sunflowers, sweet william, dahlias, ornamental amaranths and one big delphinium. We originally brought bunches of flowers to market just to add color to our booth, but they very quickly proved to be good sellers themselves. Since then we have planted beds of flowers among the vegetables and take many bunches of them to sell at the market.
