Harvest has begun!


My bulb grader hard at work sizing bulbs. This is how she earns her allowance.

Looks to be a good harvest this year look forward to the catalog coming soon.



I'm pretty lucky to have such an great daughter....she's been around plants her entire life and is a really great nursery hand.

Cheers,

Mark
