I hope you all survived the deluge of rain we've had over the past few days! Crazy! But good too, for those of us that have a lot of watering to do - we are good for a while I think!
If you're like me, and you're trying to eat better, and take good care of yourself, you will have most likely tried Quinoa ( pronounced keen-wa ). It is SO good for you, and is fairly easy to grow. I have starter 1 gallon pots of White Quinoa plants for only $3.00 - there are at least 5 plants in each gallon pot. They should be planted outdoors in a garden, or in very large containers - remember to fertilize with any kind of general vegetable fertilizer, for optimum results! I only planted 18 pots, so hurry while they last!
My fields are planted with lots of wonderful fruits and vegetables, and cut flowers galore! I look forward for harvesting time. I have purchased a refrigerator unit for the big stand to help in preserving the fruit and vegetables in heat of the Summer.
It's still not too late to plant some perennials in your garden - stop by for a tour! If you let me know in advance that you're coming - I may even put the coffee on!
See you soon!
Cheers!

Good Day Everyone!
Well, it's been a whirlwind week at Yakashiro Farms! Lots of renos still going on, and lots of planting out in the field. Man, I love our new tractor - makes life so much easier - maybe too easy hahahaha.....instead of actually weeding parts of the field by hand, I've been just rotovating it under...... LOVE THAT!!
New this weekend, for the Long Weekend, Herb Planters only $25.00, and lots of individual herb plants to get your Chef On!
And some cut flowers are now ready - beautiful bearded iris'! 3 stems for only $3.00. They are gorgeous in a long tall vase!
Don't forget - the Shasta Daisies are now ready for planting - 1 gallon size only $2.00! See photo below!
I'm almost out of potted Everbearing Strawberries - 1 gallon size only $2.00!
And the Pampas Grass has finally shown it's stems! - 1 gallon size only $2.00!
I'm going to be around for most of the long weekend - rain or shine - so stop in and say hi! I would love to meet ALL of my fabulous customers - and if you're looking for something in particular ( and I may not have it ), please let me know, and I'll source it out for you!
See you soon!
Happy Gardening!

Hello Everyone!
Hope you are all doing well. I have to apologize to those of you that came by the farm this past week and found a CLOSED sign. My father passed away on Friday April 25th. It was sudden and unexpected, so it was a little chaotic around here.
The memorial was on the weekend, and the worst part is over - so back to business, as that's what my Dad would do.
Mother's Day is this coming weekend, and I have only a few Flower Box Planters left, so hurry in for the best selection! Only $15.00
If your Mom is a practical lady, then maybe buying some kind of perennial or shrub would be a better gift - I have lots to choose from - if you want to make sure I'm here when you decide to come by, then please send me an email or text before you head over.
Besides the Rhudbeckia (Black Eyed Susan) 1 gallon pots now available - I also have 1 gallon Shasta Daisies ready to go! All 1 Gallon pots only $2.00 each! I have something for shade gardens, and full sun!
With last weeks' awesome weather, everything is growing quickly in the greenhouse, so I'm fairly confident I will have the Herb Pots ready just before the long weekend. Remember, the plants may look a little small right now, but they will grow all summer as long as you fertilize and water them! Lots of fresh herbs for all your barbequing needs!
Come by - give me a call first if you want to see me, or want a tour of the farm!
Hope to see you soon!
