Hello!

We are so confused..is it still winter? is it spring, is it summer?  Friday was flip flops, sunscreen and straw hats, Saturday was winter parkas and propane heaters, today, was clothes on/clothes off.  Oh happy spring!!

The great news is the green house is exploding with plants and color!! We have vegetable plants that YES, you can plant now. Lettuces, spinach, radishes, collards, broccoli, swiss chard, beets, just to name a few.  Still a bit early for the tomatoes, peppers and other heat lovers, but by all means get some cool loving crops in now. 

This week before Easter, we will be filling the benches with lilies, hydrangeas, hibiscus, passion vines, mandavillas, oleanders, fresh bouquets.  Call the retail house for availability and pricing. We sell out quickly of the Holiday plants, please do not delay.

We are pleased and proud to introduce our newest addition to our product line up.  Our Organic Granolas!!  They are wonderfully delicious!  We love them in our salads instead of croutons.  Of course you know granola can be eaten with milk as cereal, with yogurt (my favorite), with ice cream and of course in your salad.  The granolas are  available at the retail house and through the weekly availability list.

We hope you have saved the date of the weekend of April 29th, we will be celebrating our 3rd season and we will have refreshments, food samples.  We will have a raffle of a basket of goodies, planter, hanging basket and fresh flower bouquet. You must come into the green house to enter.  You may enter each day for each drawing. In addition, this will be the opening weekend of our new neighbors and friends at Backes Power Equipment.  Lots of goings on in our little town center and you are invited and encouraged to a part of it all!!

We have been busy planting, planting planting.  If there is any thing we can grow for you just let us know.

As always, thank you so much for your support, you keep us growing.

Most sincerely,

Andy, Linda. Priscilla, Betsey, Jillie, et al
