Running Around

 Things in the hoophpuse are almost happening too fast. We had  a day with 82 degrees and  I found myself running and picking as many tulips as I could before they all open up. The Anemones are looking great and I have a few orders to fulfill for this week, so that is good news.

 The Rananculus have suffered at the hands of aphid this season and I have been diligent about spraying Neem. It seems to be making a difference, but we lost a few plants......
I'm waiting for Spring to take a strong hold to put all these babies out on the field. That's going to be a happy  and busy dayf or us all.

Early Spring Happenings!


 I think daffodils are so pretty! Most people are used to seeing a few varieties in the store, but there are so many more and incredibly beautiful.  A couple of years ago we planted about 1000 of the heirloom varieties and they amazed me every time I see them opening.




 Ah!!!! Rananculus buds!!!!



 Today was a very nice day, considering the cool Spring we have been having. Tonight the temperatures once again plummet and the hoophouse gets covered and closed tightly. I'm hoping this is the last time I do this chore since the forecast hints at warmer winds coming our way.
