Lots of beautiful plants left!

My hanging baskets were sure snatched up quickly, thanks to you all! I can't wait to plant more next year. They turned out so nice! I have one precious basket left...purple and white combo.

James and I did plant up a few more mixed baskets. They will fill out quickly with all this nice warm weather!

Still have lots of 4" annual/perennials to choose from! And looking quite beautiful.

The marigold 6-packs are extra great looking.

Also several kinds of tomatoes....cherry, yellow grape and regular medium size tomatoes. Also cucumber starts and green pepper plants.

Things on the farm are quickly getting busy...fertilizing blueberries, getting ground worked up in order to plant at the beginning of next month and lots of other projects that are always coming up.
If I am not around the flower stand when you come, just give me a call (my number is posted at the stand), and I"ll come running!

Thank you to everyone that has already came by!

The sun is shining today and no rain! I can hardly believe it :)

Hanging Baskets are full and blooming!

Baskets $23.00 each.

The last few nights keep predicting the temperature will drop to the low 30s. The first night, we moved EVERYTHING back in the greenhouse....oh the days I wish I had a selling greenhouse!! :) Last night, we just covered everything with plastic. Everything is fine and I don't think it dropped as low as predicted. Thankfully.

Above: Gaillardia Mesa Yellow are now planted in larger pots. They will be spectacular when in bloom. The yellow bloom above is what it will look like. And even better, it is a perennial!



A few friends and I made up some living wreaths the other day! I was thinking I should have a class on how to make them one of these years. Anyone interested? The metal wreath frames run about $20, so a little spendy but the second year you make one, you just have to buy the moss and flowers so it won't be as much.



6-pack marigolds are starting to bloom! 2.50 per 6-pack.
The basils are about ready to sell. The peppers are still a bit small so another week or so for those....it's still a bit early to plant them in the garden anyway.

The weather has definitely been a little funky this year....windy days for a week straight, then bright sunshine and pouring down rain in the same hour. Today and tomorrow look like it will be beautiful so head on over when it's nice!
