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?

Problematic

Pesky Jap Beetles are back, and hitting the farm hard! Over the weekend, they mowed down a bunch of our Rose crops.  I happened to catch some of their destruction below.
