Our March weather will go down in the history books as one of the warmest on record! Now, April & May seem to be back on track and slowing things back down to normal. To say that I'm confused about what to expect for the coming weeks/months would be an understatement! We're still ahead of schedule as far as typical bloom times, but maybe we're getting a little closer to being on track? We'll see...this wacky weather makes me feel completely behind. We are still a good two weeks away from our usual frost-free date, though, so I'm trying to stay calm.
I'm continuing to seed flats so that we'll have a nice succession of flowers this season. As soon as the soil dries out a bit, I'll be out planting loads of little seedlings, lilies, callas, glads & dahlias! I'm most excited about the dahlias this year! I may have gone a little crazy with them this season...but I just don't know how you choose when there are so many gorgeous ones out there!!
Oh, oh!...I almost forgot! Beginning on June 9th, we'll be at the Iowa City Farmers' Market as well as The Freight House Farmers' Market! We were lucky enough to get a season-long spot right outside the parking ramp! We're going to be busy, busy in May with The Freight House Farmers' Market, weddings & the arrival of our baby! We'll be hoppin' with flowers in June! You'll find me at the Iowa City Market on Saturdays from 7:30 til noon. Travis will be at The Freight House Farmers' Market from 8 a.m. til 1 p.m...take it easy on him...he's still learning all of his flowers! ;)
And...I apologize for the lack of posting & pretty photos. I'm getting myself back in gear & will, again, start taking my camera with me every time I step outside!
