Summer may be ending in Cape May, but the flowers and farm work are not. Tiny seedlings, winter wreath plans, Valentine’s tulips, and a few rediscovered hobbies are all part of the season ahead.
Living in New York City in my twenties felt like living in a fairy tale — $700 Manhattan studios, rent-stabilized Stuyvesant Town apartments, and job hopping like it was an Olympic sport. Now my daughter is starting graduate school at NYU, apartment hunting from several states away, and I can’t help but compare her experience to my magical (and occasionally chaotic) NYC days. Plus: a peek into this week’s Farm Happenings, from tulip bulb arrivals to wreath workshops and our Early Black Friday bloom subscriptions.
Ever have one of those moments that feels too perfectly timed to be random? This one involved an old Chevy van, a move, and a little nudge from the universe. Plus, what farming has taught me about faith, work, and the magic in between.
