Fall turned to winter.


Harvesting some saffron.

Sorry for the absence. Busy times.
Thought I would drop a line and say happy holidays.

In case you wondered what it looks like here is a massive black cottonwood in a park to the north of the nursery along the banks of the Willamette river.




Already had one ice storm causing a power outage this season. Another potential ice storm in the forecast tonight.

Happy holidays!
Mark
