What's happening around here?

Sunflowers are being cut and bunched! They are measured, cut, bunched together in 5 stems and placed in a bucket with flower preservative. These are shipped to OFG, the flower auction in Mississauga. The rest are sold locally.

Summertime

Summer has arrived with a vengence! This time of year is a season to enjoy the out of doors, puttering around in flowerbeds and gardens and soon enjoying the fruits of our labours!. From zucchini and lettuce to squash and pumpkins, this is our reward for a job well done. The weeds try and take over but we must be diligent and watchful!! Keeping the spent flowers regularly cleaned from the perennials will keep them healthly. Mulching helps reduce weeds and watering while faithful fertilizing the annual flowers will keep them blooming until frost. Even a "haircut" once in awhile helps the plants to grow fuller.  All things to keep you busy over the summer season! Have fun!
