So…Bloom Day, right? Then where are the flowers? Thanks to the relatively cool temperatures we’ve had over the last month, they’re taking their sweet time showing up. That’s not to say there aren’t any, just not many.
News and Notes
I'm having a glorious time cleaning and organizing all of the seeds I've collected at Hayefield this year. If you're interested in seeing what's available, you can find them in my Etsy shop: Hayefield on Etsy. I should have everything on there by the end of November.
I now have a separate site for my stock garden photography. If you need images for a publication or just want to browse through some pretty garden pictures, I welcome you to visit: Nancy J. Ondra Garden Photography

Last step for the new shrub border out front: planting bulbs! 250 ‘Tete-a-Tete’ and 100 ‘Thalia’ daffodils, 200 Crocus tommasinianus, and 100 Galanthus nivalis. A lot of work for a spot I hardly ever see, but it should be quite a sight for the neighbors. #bulbs #thinkingspring #hayefield
Harvested the ‘Indian Berries’ popcorn today. What an interesting range of shapes and colors! I normally don’t eat part of my harvest when I’m growing seeds to sell, but there was so much that I couldn’t resist tossing a handful into a paper bag to microwave. The popcorn was small and a little chewy but very tasty. #popcorn #flintcorn #indianberriespopcorn #zeamays
An organic mower is not the most efficient way to keep grass paths trimmed, but it’s quiet and endlessly entertaining. #duncanthealpaca #gardenmaintenance
