Ready, Set, Go

I am working in the "ready," stage right now, propagation beds in full swing, hundreds of seedlings are up and growing.  I have been busy, busy, my husband finished the drip system in the greenhouse after I re-arranged everything and so he had to re-do his work from last year.  More seeds have been ordered and I think that will be my last order of the season unless I get crazy again.

Updates in greenhouse





This years craze for me:

Bombay Yellow Gold (Pelleted) celosia 'Bombay' SeriesBombay Pink (Pelleted) Bombay Purple (Pelleted)

This celosia is out of this world.  Totally new to me but I think now that I have my "Super Greenhouse," I can grow it.

Lathyrus odoratus 'Olive D', a scented sweet pea 'Olive' my new sweet pea  Lathyrus odoratus 'Nimbus', a dramatic stripe sweet pea 'Nimbus' oh, the beautiful bouquets I can make with these beauties

Lathyrus odoratus 'Limelight', a high quality green sweet pea 'Limelight' these seeds I sent for from Owls Acre Sweet Peas in England.  The English are great at sweet pea cultivation and I read good things about this company.

And.... succulents I have collected so many in the last month they are now coming out my ears.

I have also been working on my new website.  If anyone has ever use Word Press to create their website you may have a good experience or you watch a lot of You Tube videos on how to do a gallery.  You can view it at www.erikasfreshflowers.com, keep in mind I have more tweaks to do to it.

My kids and flowers


I just love taking pictures of my kids and flowers.  These flowers are from years gone by but the memory remains.
