This year was a bountiful growing season . We started with a great selection of spring bulbs from tulips to alliums. Moving on to our amazing lilacs that are like white and purple clouds buzzing with activity from bees to birds. Then our spring blooming perennials : delphinum, feverfew, sweet william.
All the while seedlings growing in the green house growing strong to be put in the ground in May. Nicole starts the greenhouse March 1, filling cell trays with soil, and seeds everyday. About two weeks later little green heads poke up. This continues till the green house is completely filled with: hanging baskets, bedding plant 4packs , cut flower transplants.
When the weather breaks in May we start planting the cut flower transplants we start going to market where we sell bouquets, flowering hanging baskets, and bedding plants, and tomato and basil starts. The greenhouse keeps filled as Nicole continues to seed for cut flower production.
End of May brings on the beginning of a busy wedding season. Which is so much fun and exciting. Nicole loves designing flowers for weddings. June is booked every weekend.
We are at 3 farmers Markets a week. Thursdays are Waterbury, Saturdays are Burlington, Sunday is Stowe. Never a dull moment.
We are getting up early transplanting the starts from the green house and weeding till dusk. Cutting flowers Thursday-Sundays for markets and weddings.
As July rolls around most everything is in the ground we are just weeding and picking. As well as picking rocks out of the fields, there are always more rocks. Unfortunately 3 weeks of rain set us
back a little but when the sun returns in August Everything grows, especially the weeds.
