Happy Sunny Day! and Mothers Day too!
We are all basking in the sun today. After having eleven days of rain, measuring up to 6.3 inches of rain, we are all celebrating. The fact that it is also Mother’s Day it is a true celebration.
Despite all the rain, I have been able to harvest the tulips and keep them safe in the cooler. Some flower farmers weren’t as lucky and lost their crops but I have been lucky. I have two more varieties that are still in tight bud so with tonight’s predicted frost warning I should be OK. By the end of the week all of the harvestable tulips will be in the cooler for many more weeks of floral enjoyment.
Believe it or not, the first of the anemone are showing color. I had almost written the crop off but the ones in the greenhouse are showing color and I see lots of buds on the ones in the tunnel, so as the spring progresses the amount of floral varieties also increases. Of course there is no telling when anything will truly happen with the vagaries of weather, but, things are happening.
The farm is looking beautiful in all the spring lushness. I just love this time of year, or really any time of year there are flowers growing in the garden that I can play with I just love. Speaking of loving flowers, here are the photos from this last week’s #windowframethursday.
The flower shed is filling up with lots of flowers now, and the robin is sitting on her nest. It really takes a lot for her to leave the nest now so soon time will tell. I should google how long it takes for robins eggs to hatch.
Here is a photo of the flower shed this weekend, looking mighty nice I would say.
Remember, we are now on summer hours so the flower will be open on Tuesdays from 2-5:00 and Fridays from 9-2:00.
I will pass this off to Steve while I check on his birthday dinner.
Hope to see you soon. Allie. I dream of flowers, do you?
