It has been a busy week on the farm, as the spring craziness begins. This is one of the busiest times of year on the farm, with the farm needing to get prepped, all the seedlings needing to get prepared, and lots of stuff to be planted. But we are staying on top of things! Come and chat about all things spring.

I think the comment about Serena following Ian to the market with a van of flowers was meant more that Serena comes later, after waking up and taking the kids, not getting a sitter during the night. Serena could bring refills for the stand in the van, no intention to get there for opening. Just to help keep that stand full 🙂

Ian is an enabler & you are addicted to buying plants. Do you ever see yourselves as being successful or will each season be a repeat of mow?
All of your flowers are so amazing! Really enjoy following your success.
Here's a quick idea I thought of for transporting the flowers in the back of your truck that you could tweak to another, better container. Can you put buckets of flowers into garbage cans? This would eliminate the wind factor, the garbage cans would have the height and can be tied off, later they can be stacked and left in the pickup.
Can you not put the farm on drip tape? Drip tape is a lifesaver and nearly zero man hours. Except at the beginning and end of the year and minor repairs (if any)!
