FLOWER POWER

The flower fields are coming right along. It will not be long before we are in the full swing of things if this weather keeps up. Hard to believe another year is almost upon us. Here is a view of the fields today at the start of the season. pretty dang good...amazingly within a month we will be picking the peonies. The Allium harvest is around Memorial Day.

This is the Peony field..we will be debudding(which means to take off all the little side shoots and leave the strongest bud) within two weeks and then picking within a month..amazingly you can almost sit and watch these grow. These are incredible flowers :) (Heathers favorite by the way :)

This is the Allium field. It looks real good other than our numbers are low. We are working on that though - we are coming along. These will be harvested Memorial Day weekend along with the Eremurus(foxtail lily)
Stay posted.....more to come over the next couple of months :)

Peonies are one of my favorites too. I did an all peony wedding last summer, it was stunning.
