Fall Colored Mix at Hopewell Market

October 10, 2026

These bouquets are a mix of the flowers that are still producing in my garden this late in the season. I don’t have a high tunnel or any sort of cover. My flowers only last until the first frost, and most of my flowers are already done for the season. The average first frost date for me here in zone 6B is October 15th. Since 2022, I’ve always been able to make a bouquet on my brother’s birthday which is November 6th, except last year when we got an early frost.
