Are you ready? I’ve got tulips and, they will be available to all on Friday Feb 16! I am telling you now to mark your calendars because if I can’t remember how to send out the new newsletter, or I mess up, you have been forewarned. The time will be from 10:00 till 2:00, here at the farm but honestly I don’t think they will last that long. The varieties will be, drum roll please, Apricot Beauty, Tom Puce and Mystic Van Eijk. All beautiful. if you want my opinion.
I have a lot of transplanting to do this week. All of the perennial seedlings have germinated and put out their true leaves, or enough of them to do it anyway. Many of the cool annuals have germinated and are off the heat. Things are heating up!
The ranunculus and anemones have been soaked and are now trying to sprout before they get transplanted in the soon to be empty bulb crates, then they will go into the greenhouse. I am hauling tulips crates in to grow them, and back out to hold them until Friday. I certainly am getting my upper arm workout, that is for sure.
So tulips now should be pretty consistent. There are still at least 25 crates left to come into the dirty room, it looks like a bunch more but since I haven’t counted them I would say 25 crates, four crates per week… yeah, plenty of tulips to be had.
So, just a reminder, Tulips here at the farm on Friday the 16th from 10-2:00. If you want a bunch of locally grown flowers for your valentine, shoot me an email and I will have them ready for you.
I leave you with last week’s #windowframethursday of Apricot Beauty in bud and full.
Until next week, enjoy Tuesdays snow, and think flowers! Allie. I dream of flowers, do you?
