Welcome to Runamuck Flowers!
I'm on a new adventure with flowers and hope you'll share the adventure with me.
​
I come from a long line of gardeners. My grandfather grew his own veggies & herbs, my mom loves her flowers and I love both. We've had our home for close to 18 years now and a lot of work has gone into the front and back yard over the years.
​
I use part of the backyard as a mini flower farm.
​
Feel free to follow the progression from perennial beds to flower farm beds. I'll post videos and photos along the way. Feel free to ask questions and make suggestions.
​
Stay tuned for more!

Here are the 2 newest beds about to go in. They are on the end of the Potager garden and will house my bearded Iris.
​
I used stakes and string to layout the beds and then used fluorescent orange marking spray paint to mark the lines.
​
Next I used an edger and cut the sod on the lines.
​
Digging up the sod is the next step...least favorite and I'm excited to get it done. More picks as we progress!
A few months later and the plants are in and thriving!
I'm growing these:
Salpiglossis
Scabiosa
