April fools day is a great day for snow because it reminds me that April is a dangerous month and planting outside too soon is so tempting as the temperatures rise and we get warm days followed by cold snowy ones. Fool if you do!! I always have this plan to do better at writing blog posts and then I just don't. I do have a couple of well intentioned drafts half finished but obviously nothing posted since last June. Hopefully this one makes it to the live site. This month I will have some daffodil bouquets available for purchase. I bought and planted 700 fancy daffodil bulbs last year and I can't wait to see their pretty faces! I have the bouquets available to reserve in the store. Delivery will depend on when they decide to flower and that depends on the weather so I will coordinate delivery when we get there. I also planted 700 tulips and they will be ready in May but are also available to pre-order. I still have some CSA subscriptions available for flowers. Every year is a little different and this year I have added a few new flowers to my roster. I tried drying flowers last year with great success so I will be doing that again this year. I will be planting quite a few peonies in the next month as I made a big order and they arrived recently. I love growing vegetables and fruit but flowers are so rewarding and I can't help myself with them. I have thought about transitioning to just flowers but I can't because I love being able to provide food that I've grown. My greenhouse and dining room are filled with seedlings and I know it won't be long before the ones that can handle the cold can go outside. Until then I will be playing the seedling shuffle as I add more and more trays to the mix. Happy spring!
