Currently out deadheading flowers and avoiding the inside housework that’s desperately overdue. (Really, just any excuse to be out in the garden) I can’t explain it, but for me, time out here is truly the best kind of therapy there is. #deadheading #mygarden #flowergarden #summergarden #countryliving #mycountryliving #mycountryhome #midwestliving #summerliving #mybackyardgarden #cutflowers #cutflowergarden #countrylivingstyle #growyourown #growfloret #johnnysseeds #zinnias #cosmosflower

Today’s DAY 9 @mygardenthismonth ‘Fun Friday Fact’ *** Deadheading is fun and the fact is, that if you don’t do it, your plants will stop producing more flowers*** One of the most important things in the summer garden is deadheading! I actually enjoy doing it! It’s such a therapeutic task to walk around the garden with my little basket, a pair of scissors and removing dead flowers. I always think that for one dry flower head I get two new ones. If you don’t deadhead your flowers after they faded away, all the energy will go into forming seed heads and flowering will stop. I tend to remove flowers as soon as they don’t look at their best like this fabulous heliotrope. Quick selfie before composting the flowers.
Happy deadheading everyone!

The life cycle of a Dahlia flower... Sometimes it can be tricky to know the difference between a ‘new bud’ and a ‘dead flower head’...let me explain.... .
.
New buds are round as a button starting small before bursting open petals unfurling.... .
.
Dahlias don’t continue to open once cut due to the shortness of their vase life so it’s best to wait for the bloom to look ‘just right’ before you pick it!
Once the Dahlia has opened enough to expose the eye, ‘yellow with pollen’ the bee’s get to work and the petals begin to fall.... .
.
The sepals at the back of the flower head begin in close around the pollinated centre finally enclosing it in a firm cone.... which looks a lot like the bud we began with!
The seed pod is pointed (like a wizards hat for your little ones that might be helping) and should be snipped off taking stalk with it back to the main stem. .
As the season progresses Dahlias will produce vastly more flowers meaning that seed pods can sneak up on and the new grower might mistakenly think they are new buds... .
.
If you hop over to stories now I’ve recorded a series of videos to go with this post... .
I hope you find them helpful... .
.
The star of this story is Dahlia La Recoleta
Happy Friday!! .

I’ve been at the #ASCFG Conference all week, so there was LOTS of deadheading to be done when I returned to the field today—this barely scratches the surface!
