The hoop house finally got its new skin. After 5 years, the poly needs replacing and we were happy to have another set of hands to help pull the plastic over and secure it. Thanks, Charles!! It’s looking pretty snazzy…like a kid in their new summer kicks!
We continue to pot up plants for the season, the nursery is well stocked with rows of both new and old selections. Opening day here is Wednesday, May 3rd. Our hours are from 9-5. Regular hours through the season will be Wednesday through Sunday. Closed Monday and Tuesday. Visitors can always call or email us for directions and with questions.
It is always exciting (and busy) this time of year. We are putting as many hours into the day as we can fit…”making hay while the sunshines” as they say. Hope to see you this season!
Now, why not a poem…
April Woods: Morning
Birth of color
out of night and the ground.
Luminous the gatherings
of bloodroot
newly risen, green leaf
white flower
in the sun, the dark
grown absent.
by Wendell Berry
It must be seasonal poem day on WordPress! I just read a poem for autumn on an Australian blog!
A poem a day…the perfect mental elixir!
Darn. I missed it. Sorry!!
We’ll let you know when we re-cover!
So looking forward to visiting! Soon!
Hope you have a banner season. 🙂
Thank you, Judy! I hope so as well! Are you traveling to Maine this summer? We are getting lots of rain this spring, I imagine you are as well. Considering that we left off with a drastic drought last Fall, we’ll take the water!
We LOVE Maine, just have to figure out if we are going as far north as your lovely home and garden. The heart is willing. 🙂
Exciting and wet! I too hope that you have a banner year. Our son and daughter-in-law are visiting this weekend but I hope to stop by your place after they leave.
Excellent!
