Hello Everyone!

Well that beautiful February weather definitely teased us a little too much.  I can't complain too much, as I was able to get a lot of work done on the farm that I normally wouldn't be able to do until now, so I do feel somewhat ahead of the game.

With that early great weather though, the daffodils are already finished on my field, just a few lonely bunches left.  I do wish people would be honest when they come to my stand and take bunches of flowers without paying - not sure what the logic is in this 'theft', but I do wish it would stop.  It really puts a damper on my good spirits with all this farm work.  If anyone has any ideas on how I can stop this, please let me know! :)

The Annual Bradner Flower Show is coming up quickly at Bradner Community Hall, April 10, 11, and 12th.  Look for the signs everywhere on where to find it!  It's always fascinating to see the many different varieties of daffodils.  Enjoy your visit!  My daffodils will be finished by the Flower Show, but I'm excited to see that my Sweet Williams are getting close - hopefully they'll be ready for the show too!

Things are sprouting in the greenhouse - lots of herbs and veggies coming in the late Spring and Summer.  I'm also trying quite a few different varieties of flowers, some annual, some perennial for your gardens - so keep checking in.  

More of my perennials and flowering shrubs are out at the Stand for you to purchase, and I have many more in the back field, already potted - if you're looking for anything specific, let me know, as I have built a great relationship with another grower in Langley, and can get my hands on quite a bit of great stuff!

I am in the middle of grafting a few varieties of Apple Trees, which will be for sale in the Fall.  I am excited for this adventure, and just attended the AGM for the BC Fruit Growers Association on the weekend in Saanich.  So much knowledge among these folks - lots of info absorbed that day!

First day of Spring has already passed - so I wish you all a great Spring, and may you have many flowers to brighten each day!

Cheers!

Good Sunny Morning Everyone!

I almost feel bad saying that, but it's so nice to wake up to a sunny day, rather than cloudy and rainy.

Our youngest daughter lives in Toronto ( going to school and working ), and it's downright COLD there - I can't even imagine waking up to that for months at a time - we really do have it good here in Southern B.C.  Stay warm Nikki! XO

Crocuses have been up for a while here, Forsythia is in almost full bloom, and it's definitely daffodil season - even though it's about a month early.  I've even seen quite a few blossoming Cherry Trees. - this is crazy!  TOO EARLY! 

Dutch Master Daffodil

One of the first varieties to start in Spring!

It was a great weekend at the Stand - what a nice way to start the year officially!  Thanks to everyone that stopped in.

I still have lots of daffodils and about 10 bunches of pussywillows left, so come get your 'Spring' items soon.  With this crazy wonderful weather, before you know it, the daffodils will be finished again!

Looking forward to seeing and chatting with you all soon!

Cheers!
