Dahlias!

We have some terrific dahlias right now.....

Cafe au lait.

Oranges.

Pinks and purples.

Purples, pinks, and lights.

We will have a variety of colors this week. See you at the market!

The rain isn't dampening our spirits!

The sunflowers are so glad for the rain..... it isn't dampening our spirits at all.

Good morning, sunflower!

The grow gardens are springing to life. Sure, we can run the sprinklers but there is nothing like a nice soaking rain to really get everything growing.

 This lovely pink dahlia was overjoyed with the rain.

I'm hoping the weather will hold out for Saturday's market - we'll have some terrific blooms.

So many suns!

We'll see everyone at the Lancaster Farmers Market tomorrow - we'll have tons of suns!

So many suns.

Come early - we sold out by 10am last week. See you there!

We had a great market!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Lancaster Farmers Market. We had a great market and sold out early.

One of the most popular dahlias.

We have sunflowers popping up all over the the grow gardens. See you next week!

Finally!

Looks like the suns are coming out!

I think we are back! See you at the Lancaster Farmers Market on Saturday morning!

Comin' in!

The bees have been busy...

...this one is coming in for a landing.

Hope to see you at the Lancaster Farmers Market this weekend!

New dahlias

We have some new dahlias starting to bloom.....

Something's happening here.....

The sunflowers are here!

Finally!

We can't wait to see our customers this week at the Lancaster Farmers Market!

Wake up!

Come on, little lady, wake up!

I can't wait to see all my sunflowers shining!

Silly.

This beautiful dahlia...

...hides under a sunflower leaf. Silly! Get out there and shine!

One more cold day - then it's planting time!

Blooms of all kinds

We are getting ready to start planting - not just yet because of the next couple of cold mornings... but soon.

Then we can think about this lovely dahlia.....

And this amazing daylily.... This is Black Jack

Challenger is our tallest daylily - it's taller than me!

We are gathering supplies, putting in our seeds orders, and getting the greenhouse in tip top shape for all of the spring activity.

Aren't you glad....

Aren't your glad....

...it's spring? Me too! We'll be planting soon and I'm really excited. Yay spring!

Bloom staging

Last year we had a great set up for staging the blooms to be readied for the market. They sat in a shady spot and soaked up the fresh water.

This summer we might have to expand our staging area. We are getting closer to spring!

Cosmos...two views.

We love cosmos in our bouquets!

It's so terrific when this....

...becomes this.

We are going to have tons of cosmos this year!

Blooms! Blooms! Blooms!

We had some spectacular harvests!

Blooms!

Blooms!

Blooms!

Our growing season is going to be terrific!

Then and now....

This is how our Bloom Wagon was framed last summer....

 So many blooms!

And now it's just about the snow. No!

I'm going to just concentrate on spring.

Maybe a few more..

Daylilies... how about this drop dead red?

This red bloom is not for sale... well. Sometimes we have it available.

We use gooseneck in our bouquets as well.

And buckets...

And buckets...

Of blooms!

This is going to be a great year!

How about some daylilies?

Do you know that we grow and sell daylilies? Yep!

Miss Jessie is a favorite.

Strawberry candy, I'm sure.

And Mexican Holiday - what a looker!

We also use the blooms in our bouquets. Don't worry - they last more than a day.

The daylilies should start trying to grow pretty soon. Come on, spring!

I love my dahlias!

Don't you just love dahlias?

I do...

Have a great day!

Dahlias need some love too!

Our first dahlias started to come on about mid-June last year.

This was the very first one. 

We are so excited about our dahlias this year. For now they are resting in a nice, comfy bed of peat moss. But they are excite to get growing!

Yay blooms!
