It's the start of season 2, and our first ever Flower Friends Field Trip to the Farmhouse Flower Farm in Stanwood, Washington! The intrepid Marryn Mathis walks us through her sweet pea tunnels, field grown sweet pea rows, her bearded iris and perennial beds, and dahlia fields, and we get to meet her pups, see her ponds, woods, and gorgeous 10-acre property, and then sit down in her farmstand to answer some listener questions. This episode is jam-packed with info, including Marryn's growing tips for sweet peas, how to get the best stem length, her favorite sweet pea varieties, some of her favorite perennial flowers and foliage, how she and her family found and transformed their farm, and so much more! Thank you Marryn! If you're not already following Marryn, go visit the Farmhouse Flower Farm website and Instagram. In the intro Sarah gives a little background about the pod for new listeners. Stay til the end for a really cool flower fact about honey bees, and the newest addition to our song of the week - which we just created a Spotify playlist for!
