Spending our days planting seeds and prepping the mum lot!

Soon we’ll be putting transplants in the ground, and tiny mums in pots, but first, there’s so much to prep.

Seeds are arriving, that means planting season will be here soon!

Like most farmers, we can’t wait to get in the field and start planting! However, pumpkins don’t go in the ground until June, so until then we’re prepping tractors, planting transplants, and getting repairs done on the farm
