We are very proud of the way our greenhouses are looking and coming together.
The greenhouse is starting to really fill up with thousands of flowers.
Tomorrow Mom and I will be getting our second batch of flower plugs.
Can’t wait to get the new ones unboxed.
Also, it’s looking like we will have plenty herbs again this year. The thyme and rosemary are really growing.

We are so excited to let you know our
Proven Winner flower plugs came yesterday.
We got them nestled in and they are doing good at their new home here.
The photos below are what the Proven Winner hanging baskets will look like.
Every week I will post pictures of hanging baskets or single flowers we will be offering.

Nice to see everyone at Harding Days for the
1st Annual Celebration on Saturday.
It was a fun time.
Thank You for your continued support.
We do need rain badly, we are praying for rain.
But because of our diligent watering we have flowers and vegetables to show for.

Potatoes- potatoes- potatoes

Our potatoes have taken off and look good besides the potato bugs have found them. We have been battling trying to pick them off by hand and organic methods.

Has anyone used diatomaceous earth?
Yesterday we applied the food grade organic shell dust to the tops of the potatoes. I sure hope it works. I think we have a hold on the potato beetles now, so I hope for some nice potatoes.

All the tomatoes and peppers are planted in the garden. I got a handful of cherry tomatoes- taste like summer😎. Garlic scapes we’re coming out so we had to pick them off the tops of the garlic. You can pickle, ferment and dry them for powder- basically use it like you would garlic. The dill is coming up nicely. The onions are getting bigger.

My Mom and I want to give a big Thank You for all of you who stopped in at our farm to buy plants and flowers from us.
It is nice to help out a local business and buy local.
I found some blooms around the farm, I just had to share. Also, found baby eggplants- pretty darn cute.
Dad helped me cultivate the onions and potatoes between the rows today.
Looks so nice dad,
I did get my steps in following and watching that you didn’t tear up the rows with the Massey.

😀Last Chance😀

It’s fun to see our garlic is growing nice. The asparagus is coming up but can’t picked this year. Today we finished planting alittle over 25,000 onion plants by hand in our east field.
I found some cute lambs that are five days old and the cowslips are blooming in the swamps
