Thinkin' Spring!

I don't know about you all, but I am LOVING this early spring we've been having! Cherry trees and Forsythia are in full bloom, Tulips and Daffodils are waking up, birds are singing, and I've even heard a few Pacific Chorus Frogs starting to make some noise! There's nothing quite like springtime in Washington.

Around here, we've been slowly coming out of hibernation and lately have been busy, busy, busy! There's a lot to do to get ready for the growing season, but I think we're well on our way! We've got trays and trays of seedlings in windows, cuttings taking root in their beds and the compost pile is cookin'...those little worms are keeping busy making us some really good compost for amending our soil.

We hope to get a chance to meet some of you this year! We are planning to be at Orting's Saturday Market every other weekend in July and August. Aside from being at the market, we will be taking special orders starting in late May/early June (depending on how the weather is treating us - very dependent on Mother Nature around here!)

Also, don't forget about our subscription service! This is a great option for those who want the freshest flowers possible. Being committed to providing excellent quality, we will only be offering a limited number of subscriptions this first year while the farm is getting established. So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, sign up early! Just download our subscription form (right hand side of page) and mail in with payment...we'll then contact you to let you know when you should expect your first delivery. Or, if you prefer, subscriptions can also be ordered via PayPal.

The countdown to spring is on! Please check back for updates as we get growin' for our first season!

For now, a little somethin' to look forward to... :)

  1. I wish anything was in full bloom where I live, sadly we're still under a blanket of snow!

    This lovely post have given me something to look forward to.
