I just picked some gorgeous fall flowers and brought bouquets down to the hardware store! We also have our last picking of hot peppers for the year, come grab a big bag to dry and David will cut you a deal!! 😀🌶🔥

Here’s your reminder to dig up your sweet potato

Here’s your reminder to dig up your sweet potatoes before the first frost comes sometime in the next few weeks!

Gaspar and his nephews dug our patch last weekend and it’s always so funny to me how varied they are by size. These small ones will be saved to start slips for selling in the spring. And then there are others that would qualify as an extreme weightlifting size for Rosalyn. 🤣

After harvesting, sweet potatoes need to be cured for a couple of weeks in a warm, humid place to help them sweeten up before consumption! 🍠😋

Interested in learning how to grow backyard fruit

Interested in learning how to grow backyard fruit in abundance?! You're in luck! David & Pressly are teaching a class on this very topic at the farm on Saturday afternoon, October 24th. ⁠⠀

'Tis the season to plant ANEMONES (white flowers with black center in a March bridal bouquet shown here) and RANUNCULUS. They are both grown from corms (like bulbs). We have Pastel Mix and Bright Mixed colors of both anemones and ranunculus available at the hardware store right now.⁠

I pre-sprout mine now (details in article linked below) and plan to set out my first round of plants later this month and stagger out a November and December planting too. ⁠⠀
Anemones are in peak bloom February-March and ranunculus in March & April in our region.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here's an article I wrote a few seasons ago about how to grow anemones (and ranunculus are extremely similar!!)⁠⠀

Renfrow Hardware is open Tuesdays-Fridays 8am-4:30pm, closed Saturdays-Mondays.

A big batch of beautiful seed garlic and shallots

A big batch of beautiful seed garlic and shallots just arrived and Gaspar is already working on bagging them up! As many of y’all probably read in our newsletter last week, we previously received over 40lbs of unsellable, spoiled seed garlic and were told we were unlikely to get any replacements this season. Thank goodness that turned out not to be the case!! Plant these now through December, or while supplies last. 🧄🧅 Please ask for our onions handout when you stop in, or download it from the hardware website’s Resources page if these crops are new to you!!

It's almost time to plant peonies! I will have 7-8

It's almost time to plant peonies! I will have 7-8 varieties of bare-root peony tubers arriving in about a month. I'll be listing my anticipated varieties in this Monday night's Renfrow newsletter for our subscribers to help them plan (and get excited!! I am getting LOTS of coral ones!!) ⁠⠀
I'll also be providing a detailed list of so many other floral items that are slated to arrive in the next 4 to 6 weeks - dutch iris, daffodils, alliums, tulips, & miscellaneous bulbs. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
(Anemone & ranunculus corms are currently in stock and selling fast. I'm hoping to be able to get another batch of them in soon!)⁠⠀

Anemone and ranunculus corms have arrived! We are

Anemone and ranunculus corms have arrived! We are offering mixed color 10-packs of each flower at the hardware store. We also have growing information sheets printed off for y’all.
The hardware store has been gangbusters busy lately so in case it is that way when you come in, they’re located near the front door, beside the onion sets and herb seeds. Pick up some cool-season annual flower seeds and veggie greens seeds while you’re at it too - there’s a wide variety of things you can plant right now! And the weather is incredible so why waste the opportunity?! 😉

If you would like my most in-depth planting guide for anemones, go to the fabulous website of @teamflower and search either Pressly Williams or Renfrow Farms in their free articles section and a picture-filled article I wrote a few years ago should pop up. Www.Teamflower.org/free

Plant soon (once we drop into the 60s in the daytime) through Thanksgiving for blooms in February-April. 🌱🌸💕
