The parts of my job that keep me up at night are usually things that are mostly out of my control (drought, storms, bugs etc) but today I feel like we are gaining just a teensy bit of control over how our Lisianthus will fare in Summer storms. Last year (in a panic) before a big rainstorm I dragged my partner Drew to the farm to try to throw these big sheets of plastic over our beds in a hurry. It was a disaster and a moment of thinking “this can’t ever happen again” 😂 and we are finally getting somewhere. This isn’t a permanent solution (or maybe it is if it works well) but it is a DIY solution for a limited budget and a small team. We’ll see how it goes! As always shoutout to Cassie 🌷Jig-Bee Flower & Seed Company for the initial tools to build this farm 💜 ☀️
