Dry Storing Peonies | Spring Flower Bar | Our 1st Farmers Market | Vlog

The Peonies are in full bloom, spring is rolling along in all re beauty in the gardens and this we we are bring it all to you. We start off cutting and processing armloads of peonies and some we are dry storing for an extended season. To dry store you need to take off all of the foliage except the bit at the very top around the bud. The bud must be in the firmer marshmallow stage . Take a few stems and wrap up in paper, we used news paper. we do about 5 to 8 stems per wrap, we then tuck into a box and place in a cooler out of light. To rehydrate recut stems and place in water for a few hours and the will spring back to life. Riley finished one of our first weddings in the studio this week and the we head to a pop up flower bar at an art studio in McMinnville Oregon. Next up our first Farmers Market in four years! We use to do this market for years and we stopped in 2020. The kids and I are bringing the farm back to just selling retail for the most part and this was one of our first big changes. It was a big success and we so enjoyed the community and seeing all the folks that support our family farm . I hope you enjoy this weeks video!

I love everything you do! The color combinations and types of flowers are beyond compare. Very much like Georgie from Common Farm Flowers in the UK. Your kids are fabulous and hard working as well. Lovely farm and family!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Thank you so much! We do enjoy our work here on the farm and working with my kids has been a dream come true. ❤

[@dhansonranch]

That was wonderful! Good to know about the peonies. Such wonderful bouquets!! Happy Belated Birthday Brayden!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

You are so welcome! Ill pass on the well wishes.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Thank you so much! It is so fun to bring beauty to folks every week and I get to do it with my kids, dream come true.

[@pinetreesnflowers]

Gorgeous bouquets!! Your videos are pure artistry!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Glad you like them! Brayden works hard on the editing and you can tell he enjoys it.

[@pjmans]

You inspired me to pick a beautiful bouquet of my 3 colors of fresh Peonies tonight (white, dark pink & light pink herbaceous peonies). My hubby’s grandma planted the White ones with the Red Dot back in the 1930’s and they’re still going strong 💗 *I’m glad you told us about when to pick them, very good advice!

[@connielynn7236]

Beautiful Farmer’s Market set up! I loved the idea of making an arrangement to show off your design skills. I dry stored some of my peonies this year for Mother’s Day bouquets and it worked great! As always, thanks so much for another inspiring video.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

That is awesome! Its so worth it to enjoy blooms later in the season.

[@user-vj3kj1yp6g]

I enjoyed your video, thank you for letting us tag along and much success with future market sales. The two peony plants that I moved to a new location in my yard earlier this Spring are still doing well, they are about 12 inches tall and still growing, and I have put them on a plant food schedule. I hope to have blooms this year.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Well I hope so , I'm sure with time they will be beautiful and full of blooms.

[@petefredrick3784]

Happy Birthday Brayden! Cheers! Beautiful flowers! I'm sure the community will be happy that you are participating again in the market!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Thanks so much, I'll pass it on. The community has been so happy to see us, its been so awesome and heart warming..

Happy belated Birthday Brydon. 💐💚🙃 So sorry if I spelled your name wrong. 😊💐💚🙃

[@karenstone5305]

Yall did great! The flower's were beautiful as well. Great prices too. Question! I saw a hanging basket between baskets of Petunias and the basket I'm asking about has little purple flower's. I have a hanging basket just like that but idk what kind of flower's they are. I actually got it out of the dump at tractor supply. Also a hanging basket just like the purple but their small red flower's. I do get quite a bit out of the dumsters. But the flower's look like miniature Petunias. Would you happen to know what their called!?? And Happy Birthday to your son!!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

It might have been Lobelia? That's an amazing green thumb you have to bring it back to like, well done.

[@judymckerrow6720]

May I ask you the name of the wine color Iris at 4: 43 ? 💐💚🙃

[@cynthiafisher9907]

It was beautiful! It reminded me of a velvet ball gown.

[@BakewithAmy]

You have got to share how it is that you pick peonies and do not have a ton of ants on them. What do you do for them?

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Ants are normal for peonies. They eat the sugar that is on the bloom so the bloom can open better. Sometimes, we see ants, and we just knock them off. Once the sugar sap is gone, they normally leave.

[@user-yi2vn8qm5z]

Hello, could you give me some advice on my peony plants, I have a bunch, but for some of them, it's the 3rd year and aren't flowering I think I plant them to deep. Do I dig them up and replant them less deeper, or should I just leave them for another year.? Thank you. I love your videos by the way..

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Wait till fall to dig up if you do, I think sometimes if you live in a warmer climate you would need to lift and plant more shallow not deeper.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

They need the roots to be cold to flower so if to deep they might not bloom well. best of luck to you!

[@cristaljohns1999]

I love peonies!!! I’m so worried about mine this year. I have 5 very tiny buds and they have not progressed in size. What could be happening? I have fertilized.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Peonies don't really need much to bloom, I think it just takes time and they do need cold spell to bloom well.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Do the peonies go into a cooler? How are they stored ?

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I think they would have to.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Yes! sorry I left that part out.

[@judymckerrow6720]

May I also ask the name of the roses at 10:46 ? 💐💚🙃

[@sallyazzato3481]

What was the dark purple peony shown after the coral ones? ❤

[@AmberWaves-WA-State]

Was it a tulip? The fluffy ruffled type. I do believe that there are dark red peonies but no dark purple ones

[@AmberWaves-WA-State]

A really joyful time on this video! It was wonderful that you shared your work with us. Your family and

[@AmberWaves-WA-State]

The floweres are always the stars of the show!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

I think it was Big Ben?

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Red charm is a dark red one, It was a peony, tulips are done for us here.

[@cristaljohns1999]

Where does the Crowley House farm name come from since I’m noticing that’s not your last name?

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

The house is on Crowley road and everyone just called it the Crowley house so that was the name of the farm.
