I arrived back out to our farm at the end of March. Most of my "green little friends" aka the plants, were still covered in Sudan grass and dormant. As the weeks went by and temperatures increased, spring awoke the container field and tones of tan and brown were soon being accompanied by a pallete of greens, reds, yellows, and oranges. Over the last two weeks, early flowering plants have been displaying their showy petals and giving us excitement that the long, dreadful winter is now over. Here, a look at some of our colorful displays of spring on the farm.
With spring comes mud. With mud comes extra laundry loads.
Lemon Lights Azelea's in bloom!

Magnolia Ann's are blooming!!
The Ann Magnolia has such beautiful deep pink blooms!!
Our first Yamhill semi load of the year!! In Yamhill, Oregon we have another branch where we grow plants that don't overwinter well here in Minnesota. Because of Oregon's mild winter climate, we are able to get a head start on the crops grown in Yamhill. This load, that arrived on Monday, is almost fully flushed out; whereas our Minnesota crops are just beginning to push out foilage.
Here, a closer look at our Daphne Carol Mackie that arrived on our Yamhill load.
