Happy Belated Easter Everyone!
I hope you all had an opportunity to enjoy some family time over the long weekend.  We enjoyed a tradition in my family of Faspa on Sunday afternoon with the family, and our first ever Easter Egg Hunt with our Grandson - it was a great day, and the weather totally helped!

Lots going on at the Farm now, and I am really looking forward to the great weather that has been forecast for the next week! :)

Dahlia Tubers are now for sale at the Big Stand - clusters of rhizomes, only $3.00, and individual rhizomes only $1.00 each.  Come pick some up before they are all gone!

To put some colour on your table, I have some cute little aluminum buckets filled with Pansies - $4.00 each

There are more and more perennials showing up outside the Big Stand as well, so please come check them out - from beautiful flowering Bluebelles - so pretty, to Japanese Snowball Trees, and lots in between.

Bi-Colour Bearded Iris

Purple Bearded Iris

Pale Yellow Bearded Iris

Bearded Iris' now at the Stand as well - I have three varieties to choose from this year - put some colour and texture in your perennial gardens!

This coming weekend, I will be at the Seedy Saturday at Stewart Historical Farm in Crescent Beach (White Rock) flogging my apple trees - so if you're up for a drive, come out and check out this amazing venue, and stop by and say Hi!

Also, just a reminder of the Annual Bradner Flower Show - April 8, 9 & 10th
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Happy Gardening!

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are all well, and keeping dry and warm.  This weather feels more like late Fall, than early Spring lately!

With the powerful wind storm we had last Thursday, I had a little upset!

This is the flower stand at the front on my property!  Hilarious - the winds were averaging at 90 + kph, and it literally lifted my little flower stand and threw it onto the split rail fencing.  Not a lot of damage, but it sure was an eye opener!  It is back upright now, thanks to the help of my awesome neighbour Simon, who helped me upright it.  It is now tied even more with rebar once again.  Here's hoping.......as I type this blog tonight, it is just crazy blowing like crazy once again, gusts up to 90 kph once again.  AHHHHHH!!!

I have a few new gift ideas in the Big Stand, and they are moving quickly - which is surprising to me, and making me happy that my customers like these kind of ideas!

The beautiful concrete frames - as of today, I only have one set left - can't believe how fast they are selling! Yayy!!  3 piece set ( includes 2 sizes ) only $25.00 per 3 piece set!  Come by soon!

Concrete Candle Holders - priced separately $8 & $6 each

Bunches of birchwood branches, and applewood branches bunches, $5 each bunch - great for rustic decorating on mantles, or other areas that need some warmth! :)

My daffodils are almost finished, as of the end of today, I only have 25 bunches left, and only 20 bunches of pussywillows left, so come by soon to pick up your spring color!

Hope to see you soon!
Cheers!

Also ***** Don't forget about the Annual Bradner Flower Show - I'll be there with dried herbs, herb plants and apple trees!  At the Bradner Hall on Bradner Road,  April 8th - 10th 2016

Hey Everyone!
Well, these very rainy days are a little frustrating when trying to get any outside work done, but I am trudging through, as I am sure you are all doing as well.  It would be nice to have more than one sunny day in a row.........soon!  
In the meantime.....

There has to be a rainbow at the end of all this rain......right? :) This is my view from my back deck.

I have a few new additions to the Big Stand now, so pop in any time.
Large Wooden Plaques $5.00 each
Small Wooden Plaques $ 2.00 each
These are great for rustic decorating, hot plates, centerpieces - we used them as centerpieces for our daughter's wedding in the Summer.  If you are looking for quite a few, let me know and I'll give you a better deal.

Also, I was telling you last time about my dear friend's amazing hand-turned wooden vases and candle holders, these are also in the Big Stand now too - individually priced.

The Annual Bradner Flower Show is coming  up in the third weekend in April.  I will be there selling potted herbs, both perennial & annual, dried herbs, and hopefully some perennial plants and apple trees.

I do have apple trees ( whips ) available now, for $30.00 each.  The varieties I have are: Liberty, Akane, Discovery, Jefferis, Jonagold, as well as Crabapple Trees for awesome pollinating partners.....Dolgo & John Downie.  My grafting skills are getting pretty good, if I do say so myself - if there's a certain type of apple tree you are looking for, let me know soon, and I can graft one for you for next year!!

Hope to see you on the farm soon!
Cheers!
