Can you believe we had snow falling today on April 28!

Sure can be mind boggling for gardeners - but I think I outsmarted the weather man this time as I had all the plants in the house avoiding the excessive chilly cold in the greenhouse! The plants are looking very healthy and are just dying to get back in the greenhouse to enjoy some humidity and sunshine! In the next week or two many of you can expect to see an invitation for a "premier open house showing" of the Green Acres storefront country market with an accompanying early preview of some of the products for sale. Keep watching!

April 1, 2011 and spring is definitely here!

The snow is all gone now and so it should be considering it is April 1, 2011; however, we did have a huge amount this year.  The tulips, daffodils and crocuses are up, there is flocks of birds with thousands of birds in each flock hanging out in the field enjoying the fresh greenery, hundreds of Canada geese just lazing about in the field and the deer and the antelope playing!  Oops there is no antelope only deer right now - guess I got carried away with the old song Home, Home on the Range! Now its time for sunshine to help these hundreds of baby tomotoes, green and hot peppers, petunias, calendulas, that I have growing in the house.
