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?

Spring tenderness

Spring 2012 has sprung at work!  Due to the recent low overnight temps, we've had to protect our tender new growth on our plants. The last few nights we've watered our plants to form a protective ice barrier.  The results were beautiful!  Ice art...

Abies concolor

Icy needles

Serbian Spruce

Icy Daub's Frosted.... they really are!
