Farmers Market: Cheap Blooms

Monday, May 24, 2010

I've mentioned before that my family and I love going to the farmers market, great food at great prices. But one of my main reasons I love going there is the Cheap Blooms. I'm thrifty, so most of the time I snip roses for from our bushes, or branches off trees. However when we have guests over, its the perfect excuse to buy some blooms. I bought to bouquets of blooms on Sat for $8.00 and was able to make three bouquets of fresh flowers of our home. So its around $ 2.60 per bouquet not bad. It so much more affordable to shop there, then the grocery store - most of the those bouquets are around $ 5.99 each! Plus the selection there is always skimpy and so are the blooms.


I bought poppies, the petals looked so delicate. They reminded reminded me of tissue paper. I'm planting them next year! I got some pretty, reed looking flower - they were so pretty I forgot to ask, what kind they were. Any ideas?










Have you been to your local framers market this season? Pick up any great blooms?

  3. Flowers are always great in any room - they simply give a great zest to everyday living...Love your blooms.. Don't forget to tip a little bleach in the water and change the water every three days while also cutting approx. 1" off the stems to keep them looking amazing longer.

  7. My neighbor has tons of poppies planted right next to our patio. Gotta love that her planting bed is next to their garage, but we get to enjoy them!
    I would never cut them, but at least the patio area is pretty :)
