Good rainy morning everyone!
Thought I'd take this opportunity to quickly put out a couple of photos for the blog while it's absolutely pouring outside.  What a contrast to last Monday! Ha!

A few things I wanted to show you that are in the Stand now, and selling fast!

Herb Planters

Only $20.00 and then, you can use the planters for other things, or again next year for herbs in your kitchen.

These are the Simpervivum Planters - great for a deck or porch decoration - I would bring them inside in the winter, but they look so great - Super easy to care for as they are all types of succulents, just water once in a while :)  Also $20.00 

Separate Herbs

A variety of herbs for your garden, and more coming all the time.  2 1/2 inch pots, only $1.50 each.

And lastly, I have tons of perennials and shrubs just waiting to be planted in your beautiful gardens.  Come take a look!  Everything from bearded Iris, Hosta, to dwarf Rhododendron and Japanese Snow Ball trees.  Prices vary, and we're on the Honour System here, so thank you so much for your honesty!

Hope to see you soon!  Remember, when it's raining is the best time to choose your plants and plant them, then they've been watered well for a few days!  Helpful hints for lazy gardeners! hahahaha

Cheers!

Hard to believe, but it was 25 degrees here today!  Yikes, I sure hope this doesn't mean it's only going to get warmer by Summer.

Fresh herb plants are now available at the Stand - for starters, Sage, Oregano, Thyme, Cilantro, Parsley, and Chives, and I have some beautiful wooden Herb Planters that hold 3 ceramic pots for herbs as well.

Also available are ceramic planters with Sempervivums,  Hens & Chicks and other succulents!  Would make a wonderful Mother's Day Gift, or House Warming gift too!

My first cut flowers are ready!  Already!! Sweet Williams - I love their beautiful scent, and bright colours, only $2.00 for a bunch - stop by and pick some up for yourself.

I'm trying really hard to do this blog once a week, but I know I've been tardy, so please be patient, while I try to find more time to do this.

I look forward to seeing you soon!  There's still lots of perennials and flowering shrubs available.  Come in soon for the best selection!

Cheers!

Well, the Spring weather that we've come to expect has definitely arrived.  Lots of rain and even hail, so I hope your gardens didn't receive too much damage from the weekend weather.

Looks like the Bradner Flower Show was a big success.  I can see the Hall from our property, and there were tons of cars all weekend long.  Congratulations to all the folks that work so hard to make this annual event a huge success!

Lots of growth in the Greenhouse, and within the next few weeks, you will see lots of herb starter plants coming.  Just waiting until they get just a bit taller.

I am also growing Quinoa and Kale for sale this year.  The Quinoa was a big success last year, and lots of people enjoyed growing and harvesting their own from my starter plants.  They will be out in the stand shortly as well. :)

Also right now, I have a lot of Dahlia tubers for sale ( each cluster is $3.00 ).  Currently I have 5 different varieties available, with pictures on the front so you can see what they looked like last year in my own field.  Easy to grow, and lovely to enjoy!

This is the most popular variety that I had for cut flowers last year, and I have tons of tubers to sell!

The theft and vandalism issue has only gotten worse here - but I will not back down.  I have been documenting the events, and starting today, there will be camera surveillance done 24/7.  I really wish it wouldn't have had to come to this, because I would like to believe the best in people, but in order for me to continue and have some piece of mind, I needed to have this put in.
For those of you, that are good and honest and lovely people, I know you will not be offended by this surveillance......and I thank you for your continued support of my little farm business.

This is an amazing system, as it will see both driveways, to right across the street in colour during the day, and infrared vision at night.  Remote Guard is the company name, and they are wonderful to deal with, if you too need to have a surveillance system in place.

So thanks again to all you wonderful people who visit me here!  I look forward to offering you all so many more fun things coming soon!

Best wishes

Cheers!
