With great Phew, I can say that not only does the first batch of tulips have flower buds to be seen, but, I’ve got flowers! I harvested two this morning, probably another half dozen tomorrow, so on and so forth. Soon, there will be plenty of tulips for all, and I will share. Promise.
Tomorrow the next four crates get pulled into the dirty room, getting mighty crowded in there, I also have a big seeding to do for the cool annuals, and I need to get the ranunculus and anemones soaked and sprouted. My ‘free?’ time is getting less and less. I love it though.
It certainly has been so nice to see the sun shine these last two days and it is supposed to be lovely through the week. I think we deserve a stretch of nice weather. A temperature alarm goes off in the dirty room around 10:30 these mornings so the door gets open for four inches for the day, trying to keep the room temp around 65 degrees. We shut it down around 4:00, and yes, the house does get quite refreshing, but it works. Air change is good for our health, that and exercise, which I am getting plenty of these days.
As soon as I have enough tulips to share, in two weeks?, I will let you know, and I will let you know where I will be having them. Just at the farm? Peterborough Farmers Market? Flag Leaf Bakery if they will have me again? Still trying to figure out those logistics, as well as the newsletter, but hopefully, by the time I have enough tulips to go around, I will have that figured out as well.
Each week is getting more and more exciting, but since I have no other news right now, I will leave you with last week’s #windowframethursday. A lone sprig of witch hazel in a bottle. Jujst the color I needed while it was still gloomy out and it was the only flowers I had.
Until next week, start dreaming flowers, because I certainly am. Allie
