Some crazy weather for May 2. I woke up to 28 degrees outside this morning. Luckily all the plants were tucked in and safe from frost.

The temps are low and the stress is high for this flower farmer!

Photo for attention.

Make better salads! And your own dressings.

I still have a couple of openings for Salad Class on Sunday May 3.

Dine on an interesting salad ... taste different oils and vinegars. We make 4 or 5 different salad dressings, pickled onions and caramelized nuts.

Learn to stretch your imagination with different ingredients. $40 each.
Class is 1-3.

Now that the weather is warming up, the bees will be buzzing around! 🐝

Every spring, honey bee swarms start appearing in neighborhoods across the country. Most people who spot one don't know who to turn to and end up contacting pest control. Instead, please contact Swarmed - Bee Swarm Alerts.

They put people in touch with a local beekeeper who is happy to catch the bees and give the colony a hive where they can survive and thrive.

Let's help save the bees!

The daffodils are blooming! These are a little short but I expect the later ones will be taller. I doesn't matter, they smell wonderful!
