Harvest Time

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” 

Hmmmm.......Sound familiar to anyone? Seems to reflect some current situations we see today.......Imagine being the press secretary for such a buffoon. Professional liar. I think George Washington said it simply "It's better to offer no excuse than a bad one". I make no apology for politicizing a blog that is mostly about flower bulbs and i'll offer no apology for filling a political blog with so many posts about flower bulbs.

The harvest is on! The repotting soil is stacked by the yard, the racks of bulk bulb bins are laid out in the shop, the packing tape is locked in the dispenser. Here's to hoping it's a been a productive year!

The heat wave has broken, the first day below 90 in some time and finally a cool cloudy day, perfect weather to start the harvest!

Catalog coming soon.
