Well, almost. "Everything's Coming Up Ranunculus" doesn't quite have that ring to it...

Taking It All In
"Greenhouse #1", or "Number One" but, usually just "One" is the name of this greenhouse. It was the first greenhouse built on the farm, is always the first to be planted and is always the first full of color. And right now there's quite a hodge-podge of plants. Cold-tolerant annuals are coming into prime, the first of the Gerberas are blooming, hanging baskets are filling out, and the back of the greenhouse is packed full of perennials. So much to take in!
In the middle of this colorful wonderland a few things especially caught my eye this morning:
The first of the Gerberas! The first few flowers are a cheerful sight in a sea of green foliage.
Wow! The how perfect is this color combo? And the names of these Heuchera are just as great as their colors: Lime Rickey, Georgia Peach, and Midnight Rose. Hard to resist!
Speaking of color AND great names, Superbells Cherry Star is impossible to ignore right now. And this is only a tiny piece of one greenhouse- so much to see!

Get In Touch
Whew! It's greenhouse season, and in our vocabulary that's synonymous with BUSY. You may have noticed that we are no longer including our phone number on our postcards and that we have taken it off of this blog. Why? To be honest, we just get too busy to answer the phone and return calls. My apologies if you've ever tried to get in touch with us and couldn't. (And if you could? Luck was on your side!)
So here's our solution: email! If you've got something to ask or tell us, this is the best way to do it:
You can count on a response from me ASARP (As Soon As Reasonably Possible). If that changes for any reason, I'll update it here.
Happy emailing!

P.S. A fun way to keep tabs on what we're up to is to "subscribe" to this blog. It's easy! Just enter your email address in the box to the right.

2013 Annual Open House
Annual Open House
May 4, 2013 from 8:00- 12:00
*Coffee, treats, and surprises!*
This is one of my favorite times of year in the greenhouse. The colors in the greenhouse feel so fresh and vibrant and the weather (usually!) has its act together. We are open for retail before the Open House, but the tradition of "kicking off" our spring season the first weekend in May has held strong through the last several years.
Hope to see you there!

No Flowers, No Problem
Flowers are a rare sight for us in early March. Our tiny plants are no where near blooming yet and if they are, we quickly pinch them back. (This was a heartbreaking duty for me as a child.) So, no flowers yet. But through the lack of actual blossoms there are suddenly new "favorite" plants. Plants that are so full of colorful foliage and texture that they can stand on their own. Who needs flowers, anyway?
Any guesses how "Cobweb" sedum got its name? The name of the "Polka Dot Plant" is equally as literal:
So many shades of green! The colorful foliage makes for an impressive landscape:
Of course, these little guys are pretty...
Just don't forget the foliage!
