Of note is the […]

With Mother’s Day this Sunday, sales in the greenhouse have been heating up just like the weather. Needless to say it is difficult to keep the annual flower greenhouse well stocked as hanging baskets and multiple other products must be loaded from the production houses to the “front” house. The Calliope geranium hanging baskets seem […]

The repotting of pot bound material goes on in a wide array of products that in most cases can be available about May 1st. Some of the items were for sale, but may not sell which is the main reason for the “shift up” to a larger pot. We are still waiting on almost 8,000 […]

A good look at farm fields still reveals that many will not be planted and the State of Ohio has requested that the federal government declare Ohio a disaster area so that farmers could get some federal funds.  Some of the money would be used to help farmers plant cover crops on the now idle […]

This past week marks the time when the light level and duration seems the darkest as the sun actually sets earlier in early December than even the winter solstice in which the length of the total daylight is shorter than early December. The poinsettias are amazingly free from whitefly due to our friends that are […]

On this normally the last day of February, we are transplanting full blast in the greenhouse along with potting our first shipment of perennial plugs from Walters Gardens in Zeeland, Michigan and another company from Iowa called Swift. Because this year is divisible by the number 4, one day has been added so that on […]

More stock has arrived including a new Eastern redbud called ‘Flame Thrower’ from the breeder Danny Warner. This variety opens with new growth a maroon color, then leaves fade to orange and then yellow and finally to green with blooming occurring just like all other redbuds in late April into May with magenta flowers on the branches. […]

The heat of summer has finally arrived even though according to the calendar it is late spring until the summer solstice. What good fortune in that the irrigation pond is brimming with rain water of such good quality that the plants will definitely show it. For the hot days, potting up new arrivals of perennial […]

It’s finally May and really the best weather is upon us with enough sunshine and LOTS of rain without temperatures of too cold or unbearably hot. Even so, there still are chances of frost necessitating a delay in planting heat-loving plants like peppers and tomatoes and flowers such as impatiens and wave petunias. With hanging […]

Surprisingly, despite with weather, sales have been brisk especially with the opening of the annual flower house. It is difficult though for folks to […]
