Dayton "Dirt" - April 29, 2011

The weather has been really depressing with the cold and non-stop rain.

It seems though that things are looking up with the sunny forecast this weekend.

Our perennial house and annual flower greenhouse are loaded with lots of the old and lots of the new.

In perennials, we have over 100 new varieties as well as new annuals and tropicals in the annual flower house.

The outside sales yard is overflowing with trees and shrubs but many of our tea roses and climbers are not due to the extreme weather of the past month.

Without a doubt our selection of new Japanese Maples and dwarf conifers is astounding.

Maggie, our perennial expert, is in the perennial department while Melody is in the annual flower house.

Sometimes the people that work in each section don’t see each other for days so that its like working in 2 parts of the United States!

Our new greenhouse for flower production is in full swing now so that this “factory” is rolling out the flowers from 4” pots to large hanging baskets.

Come on over and take a walk around.

The tulips we planted last fall and winter are just starting to bloom and I think it will make you feel as you have just stepped into Holland!

Hope for some sun with rain once a week….

Tom
