This week the calla lilies look great!  I have dark red, deep pink, cream, white with a pink edge and a golden yellow with a red edge.  Fresh calla lilies will last a minimum of two weeks.  I've had a bouquet of callas in my kitchen for four weeks and they look as though I just picked them.  This week I'll be bringing them to market in bouquets with blue and white cloud larkspur and baptisia for $15.00.  I'll also be selling them in three, five and ten stem bunches for $9.00, $14.00 and $25.00.
After a very cold winter I'm excited to tell you my Kordes roses are healthy and just  beginning to bloom.  All I can say is WOW!  they look gorgeous and smell wonderful.  I'll be bringing a few to market next week just to tease you.  These roses are nothing like the roses from your local grocery store or florist.  I've only sprayed them with horticulutral oil for aphid and plant shield and compost tea as a preventative for fungal diseases such as black spot.  There are lots of beneficial insects flying around because of the herbs I've planting under and around them.  This is only their second growing season so the quantity of flowers will still be small.  I've been told year three is when they really start to produce.
We've gotten a little behind on the herb garden. This week we'll finally be putting in the beds. With good weather next week we'll finally get the herbs in the ground.  I'll be posting photos of our progress in the next few weeks.
