Over 100 years of growing green... What goes on inside the tumultuous and crazy world of working the suburban family farm; good times, tough times, and ridiculously dirty times.

From The Greenhouse
Plants & shipments are coming in daily now. Lots of plants getting planted and greenhouses getting filled up. The Easter lilies are showing their buds and will be blooming by the end of the month. Daylight savings is a week away and spring is around the corner. This will be a busy year caring for plants all the way until Christmas. We're planting more fall mums this summer then we ever have. So we will go through spring right into summer and fall with no slowing down until Christmas. Get your garden plans going; it will be here sooner then you think. I'll be back with updates the next time I get a brake from watering and planting.
Plants are growing.
Well the time is here at the greenhouse when all are active at getting all the plants potted up, sowed and what not. Just getting everything ready for our spring opening. The baskets are being filled with plants, the pots are being filled with plants and the greenhouses are getting filled. So much to do before we open up at the end of the month. Perennials are getting planted up and starting to look good too. Pat is getting the store all spruced up with lots of new and fun things. You will be so amazed when you walk in the door. Easter lilies are getting nice as well. Well, there just so much to do. Must get back to work. I will try to keep you informed on the new things happening. Or just call or stop in end of March and see for yourself.
Until later - Donna and the gang.

The Sun is Out!
What a beautiful day with the sun shining-even though it's soooo cold outside. It was -4 degrees F when I left my house this morning. That sun though just brightens up the day and makes it a little more cheerful! The other day a huge piece of ice/snow fell off the roof and smashed the Sumac outside my window. It scared me out of my seat and I'm hoping it'll come back this spring. It's a Tiger Eye Sumac and always gives off a lot of great color during the growing season!

From The Greenhouse
Well here we are with a new year upon us. And boy do I wish I was still in Maui. The Easter lilies are coming along. Most all of them have emerged and are about 5" tall so far. Easter Mums and Hydrangeas are in and getting greener every day. We have also received spikes and our Pillar Geraniums for this season. Things are still on the slow side for now. We won't be getting busy till sometime in February. I will be writing up our Lynde Design receipts for those that will be planting them in March. That way they'll know where the plant placement is in the pot. It's also time to look through your plant catalogs and start planning and ordering. Keep dreaming of warm summer days.
