Week 18 Availability May 1st
Hello...
We thought we really could skip a week un-noticed...you guys are really paying attention. So, forgive us for being tardy this week, we are researching ways to clone ourselves.
For farm news, you will see that some of the crops are "resting" we picked pretty hard last week, and these crops need to flush again, so another week and we should be back in the running. Last week was the first release of the beneficial insects. Praying mantis, lady bugs and lace wings. Well the lady bugs were all belly up, so we will be having a second release this week, when the temps. go up a little more. Soon we will have baby mantis all over the place (hopefully the birds won't find them). I will try very hard to get pictures for you.
We had a wonderful 3rd anniversary weekend. Thank you all for your well wishes, words of kindness, gifts and mostly your friendships. We hope we can celebrate the next 30 years together!!
We would like to wish all of our Mom's a very, very happy Mothers Day. We do have some very exciting plants just for you. We have bunches and bunches of flower bouquets, tropicals and hanging baskets. Our ornamentals were delivered just today with beautiful knock out roses, blooming hydrangeas and liliacs. We are sure we have something to make your Mom happy.
As always thank you for your continued support, you "keep us growing"
