In bloom
Ranunculus and anemones are in bloom by the bucket this week. The fruit trees are also in bloom which is always a pretty sight. The first few dianthus have also bloomed. The very first two bluebonnets of the season are also showing some blue.
Available Starters / Seeds
Seeds: Zinnias, bachelor’s button, love-in-a-mist (nigella), forget-me-nots, cosmos, dara (colored queen Anne’s lace), Mexican sunflowers, gomphrena, bee balm, celosia, cock’s comb, lime basil, blue spice basil, Persian basil, Thai basil, purple hyacinth bean, hardy hibiscus, bupleurum, tassel flower, and marigold.

The jalapenos peppers, rosemary, oregano, marjoram, curly parsley, lavender, orange thyme, cucumbers, green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, and basil still need a few more weeks before they’ll be ready.
Farm Tasks for the Week
Still in full spring bed cleanup mode. Removing and mulching tons and tons of leaves from all the planters and then mulching the planters with the cut-up leaf mulch. Fertilizing the bearded iris as they’re dug out of the oak leaves.
Removing leaves from pathways and adding tree mulch to keep them weed free again this season.
Added shade cloth the ranunculus and anemones to encourage longer stems and to keep them cool as they begin to go dormant if the temperature exceeds 70 F (like it has this week).
Chickens
The chickens are laying regularly and enjoying running the chicken yard now that the weather is nicer. If you need eggs, email/text to reserve.
