Spring Is On Its Way!


The first daffodils are finally poking their noses out of the soil - a sure sign that spring is finally on its way! These bulbs were planted in pots and stored in an unheated shop. We will move them to the greenhouse very soon in order to have pots of beautiful blooming bulbs at the Farmer's Market in April. The iris reticulata haven't begun to emerge from the frozen soil yet. They're the earliest bulbs we have and are planted in a flower bed on the West side of the house. They usually begin to emerge in February, if given a few days of warm weather. This flowerbed is scheduled for a makeover this spring. We removed several of the plantings last fall to allow us to get an early start on the renovation this spring.
