Report from the Fields

It's Monday, and today we scouted the crops currently growing on the farm to check progress.  We currently have growing winter wheat (planted last Fall), alfalfa hay, and rye (as a cover crop for our corn maze corn field).  Everything looks GREAT - we're very pleased.  Today it's hot (85 degrees) - which should give everything (including the greenhouse) a boost.

Welcome to the Greenhouse!

Today we are busy getting the flowers ready for the Easter Season.  Daily care of the flowers in the greenhouse includes constant fertilizing and watering - and lots of tender love & care!  We are growing a wonderful selection of annual plants for sale at the auction in Lancaster County.  Big retailers purchase our flowers from this auction.  Some of the annuals (yearly) flowers we are growing include Wave Petunia Baskets, Marigolds (Inca variety), Geraniums (in pots), Petunia flats, and vegetable plants.  Our veggies include tomatoes (Scarlet Red), Peppers, Cucumbers, and Zucchini plants.
