Dahlias are doing AWESOME!! List now updated...

Hi and How are you?  Finally got the list with ALL the dahlias updated and posted on the website!!  Will be working on updating the photos as time permits.

Will have corn-on-the-cob this week, plus lots of cucumbers and beets, PLUS cabbage, celery and onions!  Have a great day!!

The garden OPENED last week and has seen visitors...

... from all over the country!  It's been pretty busy with the company of customers, family, and friends visiting!

The vegetables are doing awesome, as is the dahlias!! U-Pick is open for zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, beets, Walla Walla onions, parsley(s), and corn on the cob this week!  See ya!!

Have a GREAT Day!!

OPENING!!!! TODAY!!!! Been so busy in the garden...

I've been checking the names of the dahlias and matching blooms to make sure the names are correct.  It's a long process since I have to check more than 650 varieties.

The garden and dahlias are growing so awesome!  I've been watching other gardens and hearing so many complain about HOW BAD their dahlias are doing...  Can't believe it!  I've been busy tying up the dahlias because the growth is so wonderful!  The blooms... incredible!

To top it off, the software program that I use for my website now says my license has expired (NOT true) and that the copy I have is licensed/registered has been registered by someone else!!  WHAT???  I bought the software NEW...  So, I'm going to create a new website using the older version that I have and it works too, to create a new website.  Complicated....

I'll be posting photos as soon as I can.  I've taken 100's of photos... time is the problem right now.

My Sister from Palm Springs is visiting (since Aug. 2) and she's been a big help picking flowers to stock the ONE flower stand I have on O'Brien Rd.  She's also working on the pond's waterfall creating a terrific waterfall with slate and brick.  It's beautiful!!

I have another Sister arriving today for a few days... you know how it is when you have company...  Everything seems to take longer!

I also am taking care of my 9-year old granddaughter on Tues., Wed., Thurs. and Friday.  Do you have any idea HOW many questions a 9-year old can ask??  That, too, takes time.

Will post photos as time allows!  HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Having some issues with my software program...

Oh gosh, forgot to tell you I have ARTICHOKES~~~

Tons and tons of Artichokes and only 50 CENTS each!  They taste so good!!!

What's happening in the veggie garden...

I've had a number of former vegetable customers want to know if I'd still be selling organic vegetables this year... So, for those of you who would like to get vegetables, I'll be posting when I have extra of certain vegetables available.  Right now, that would cauliflower and broccoli.  The zucchini is just starting to put on nice zucchini veggies but won't really be ready for picking until after the 4th of July.  The corn is coming along beautifully!  It's about 4' tall right now and lots of it!  The snow peas and shelling peas are at least Six feet tall and blooming, and the beans are climbing fast. 

Art helped with the weeding last night and didn't know what carrots or basil plants looked like... He thought they were weeds!! OMG!  He pulled them all.  The cylinder beets are awesome! 

I'll keep you posted!

For dahlia lovers... the dahlias will soon need to be tied up to keep from falling over!

More later...
