Bulbs, bulbs, and more bulbs

Last fall we received over 4,000 bulbs to plant in the perennial beds in front of the farm house and the green house. In spite of the mild winter and lack of snow it appears that most of the bulbs have come up and are blooming.  It gives the farm a bit of color while the rest of the perennial flowers are starting to come up.

Prepping outdoor annual bed

While March was dry and warm April has lived up to its reputation as being a wet month. We had a short break in the mixture of snow, sleet, rain and hail and took the opportunity to do some prep work on our outdoor annual bed.

Hoop House Plastic

Today is the long awaited day for putting the plastic on the new hoop house. After many weeks of very windy weather, the guys were here bright and early to install the covering. While the actual cover went on quickly, it seems that doing all of the adjustments is what takes the time.

Our mint, planted in Wooly Pockets along the south wall, is looking good after a bit of winter dormancy.

Citrus have the unique characteristic of carrying this year's flowers at the same time as last year's fruit.

Hoop House Progress

The hoop house construction at the farm is going well in spite of a bit of snowy weather.
It will be exciting to have this space dedicated to growing annuals.
