Well, after a week of fairly cool temperatures, and a lot of rain....the forecast for this week sounds amazing - here's hoping! :)

We're still just under two weeks away from Mother's Day, so don't forget to pick up something for that special Woman in your life.  I do have some filled Flower Boxes and other smaller planters - you can still pick one up now, and then you're not left scrambling the day before ( like so many of us sometimes do! ).

One gallon Rhudbeckia (Black-Eyed Susans) are now ready for sale - 1 Gallon Pots only $2.00!!


I still have lots of 1 Gallon perennials in stock: Gypsophila (perennial Baby's Breathe), Bearded Iris'(purple), Lily of the Valley(white), Sedum, Willamette Raspberry,  Everybearing Strawberry, Oregano, Thyme, and now Rhudbeckia - still only $2.00 per 1 gallon pot.  5 Gallon Rhubarb ( ready to plant in the ground with ready stocks ), only $10.00.

I had the awesome opportunity to Volunteer at the Annual Van Dusen Plant Sale over the weekend, and it was crazy!!!  I have a very good friend, Sara, who has attended this annual event for years (tried to get me to go, but I always had prior engagements), and she raved about the selection and the overall pandemonium.  Well it was absolutely hilarious.  Sunday's sale started at 10am sharp, and all of a sudden I felt a rumbling on the ground and overwhelming noise, only to realize quickly that is was not an earthquake, but over 10,000 people running at the starting line to make their way into the gardens for the sale. People were running up and almost yelling " Do you have a Fuji Apple Tree! Do you have Blueberry bushes?!" It was so crazy!  I loved it!  I was helping my new friend Derry from Derry Orchards in Langley.  Her and her friend Laurelle specialize in Fruit Trees and Berry plants - and Derry has been teaching me how to graft my own Apple Trees, which I am having some great success!  This will be something that I will be adding to my farm, and I'm very excited.  I grafted 10 Liberty Apple trees in early March of this year and they have all taken - so very excited about my new skill!

Coming Soon: Variety of Herbs in 4 inch pots, Herb Planters ( various sizes and prices ), and QUINOA (first time trying this wheat-like product).

Fresh Rhubarb is now available - 75 cents per pound.  Email me, text or phone to order ahead!

Happy Gardening!
