April Is Here !

Sorry - it's been a while - we've been busy!

Greenhouse # 4 is mostly finished now. Everybody pitched in and installed the plastic coverings, built the doors and finished the end walls.


Meanwhile the plant plugs kept arriving. Savannah helped to get some wave petunias transplanted and Bailey helped carry the plants to the new greenhouse.

One last shipment of plugs will arrive next week but, there are lots of seeds germinating in Greenhouse # 1 and even in the spare bedroom - tomatoes, herbs, peppers and lots of flowers. As we put more hanging baskets together, more space will be freed up - I hope.



The weather has not really been very cooperative this year - the cold nights and cloudy days has meant that our heating costs have been much higher than last year.  The cats have figured out that the best place to be on a cold night is on the duct work above the corn furnace  - where it is very cozy!


Speaking of cats - we have kittens!  Celia has three babies and Taffy has four.  The "Free Kittens" sign will be out soon. Celia looks overjoyed by motherhood.

SPRING IS ON ITS' WAY (REALLY!!!)
