Spring! Spring! Spring!

Lael and her friend Eleanor plant pansies by the front door

They look so lovely!!!!




The Lilacs are in bloom and they smell so great...too bad their season is so short!

This torenia is blooming in the Greenhouse...it is so beautiful!!!! It does well in sun or part shade....we have it in a magenta color as well.


Spring is full of blooming things...though the daffodils are past, violets of all colors are in all the woods, even some of the Solomon's Seal is blooming. With all the warm weather that we have been having, things are coming on a bit earlier than usual. Two of our three Farmer's Markets start this week...Hudson and Lenox.


We have been harvesting Arugula and Mesclun this week and look forward to selling lots of it this weekend. Plant sales are going well also...This is the first week that the Heirloom tomato plants are ready. While Brandywine and Striped German are the most popular plants, I am excited about Tigerella, Wapsipicon Peach, and First Light. I will trial them in a small garden plot to see if they are good enough to go out into the fields next year. We only let the proven winners go into production!!!
