Good morning!

We love this sunshine and are doing our best to keep everything hydrated and looking fresh. In order to help the hanging baskets, we've moved them all under the overhang. So look up, look down and all around.

Check out the $7 section outside the greenhouse.

Greenhouse still has plants, we've moved about 95% from our grow greenhouse over. So what you see in there is what we have.

Have a great weekend we appreciate all of you!!
