Planting Fiesta

I am a week behind on posting anything to my blog.  Last Saturday I met the wonderful people of Bare Mtn. Farm, Denise and Tony at the Corvallis Farmer's Mkt.  What a wonderful market that is fresh produce, mushrooms, strawberries, meats of all kinds and of course the beautiful flowers and  all fresh from the farmers that grow them.  I wish I brought my cooler maybe next time.  Chatted with Denise and Tony about flowers and farming.  They have their booth set up were the customer can choose from an assortment of loose  flowers to make a custom bouquet and they also had pre-made bouquets.  

Thursday one of my closest friends came for a visit and we had a wonder time.  We picked some flowers and she made two beautiful bouquets.  Of course my camera was somewhere else and I didn't get a picture.   Darn!

I had enough of my new roses to make a bouquet

Bouquet at 3 Cups Coffee House  as it opens up it just keeps getting more beautiful.  Carly the owner says the flowers have had more comments then anything else in the shop.

I am planting hydrangeas like a mad woman.  Who ordered all these ?

Annabelle hydrangea just about ready to bloom

My son and I had a planting fiesta today.  I am so tired.  He went in the house when it started raining.

My husband was also busy today putting in water in the greenhouse

What the greenhouse looks like today.  Have a wonderful week!

Greenhouse Life

I'm sure everyone has been busy as bees working in their gardens with this nice weather we've been having.  I took this picture of my roses after planting them in my greenhouse a month ago.

I have been so busy planting seedlings, seeds, weeding, reconstructing old flower beds, picking flowers, bouquet assembly, delivering etc.... It's nice to have a break.  Today is drizzly and I have chose to play it slow.

I have little helpers in the greenhouse to keep the bad bugs out.

I am naming this year the "Year of the Hosta," they have been lovely this year and not a slug bitten leaf in the 

bunch.

Hosta just coming up earlier this Spring

Mixed bouquet

I bought some miniture roses and planted them in the greenhouse
