Spring Crops!


Winter life at the nursery is as busy as ever. We use this time to accomplish chores and pot all the baby plants we can in preparation for spring. Several times a week, herb and perennial shipments arrive and everyone gets involved in the process of planting. Chris sows seed weekly and cuttings are done every morning. We all dress in layers with lots of hats and scarves on the cold mornings.

Kendel is enjoying the work. Of course it's always fun to plant and watch things begin to mature.


 
 Getting as many plants into the greenhouses as possible is a challenge. It seems like it doesn't take long and they are full.We start to run out of room each year right before spring starts.

Poppies are growing nicely and should be ready in just a few weeks.
