WHAT'S IT LIKE TO WORK ON A FARM??


Welcome to my work blog!



So, after some thought, I decided to start a work blog!! Over the years, friends and family seem pretty impressed upon telling them about the farm where I work. A lot of them seem shocked at the actual size of the nursery, and the quanity of product we crank out in a season. So why not keep a daily journal of what goes on here?

Unique markings

A new variety added to our inventory this year; Berb thun Admiration.  I especially like this variety because of its unusual variegation around the outer leaf edges.  A real eye catcher!

Construction under way

We're putting up 4 new greenhouses!  This will allow us to overwinter some of our perennials, and give them a "head start" on the perennials that are left in the field to overwinter.  So far, two of the "skeleton" frames are put together.
