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.

Spring is Almost Here!
Hey! I thought this was May. It was snowing on my way into work this morning. As much as we are all antsy for nice weather, we really need to be patient this year. As much as I want stuff out of the greenhouse so I can space other plants, the weather is not cooperating. The last thing you want to do is take a plant out of a 70 degree enviorment and put it right out side with 40 degrees and wind. Not a good combination. Yes, this year is a little colder than usual but for the most part it is closer to how are Springs are. So don't rush into putting plants out just yet, especially tropicals. Hold off on your veggie gardens also, unless youre doing cold crops. The tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants will not be happy with you. Remember the old saying, "do as I say not as I do." Even I'm not doing any planting right now or any big pots just yet. I may seriously wait till the end of the month. At least till the night temps stay in the 50-60s and the day temps stay above 60. Other than that the plants look awesome this year and they'll be here waiting for you when the weather warms up.
