Here is an arial from about 10 years ago.
The end greenhouse with the three black dots is now twice as long..  This was taken in the fall and you can still see a lot of mums out in the mum field...


Raq , is this your home ?  It's amazing

  No. Its 2 miles down the road from my house.   
Its the place i manage...
Its way better running it , that way i don't have to worry about the taxes, electric and heating bills.  Let alone the 100 thousand dollars just to order everything just to get started.. ;)

Looks fantastic as always.

Mothers day is coming and i think people are feeling a bit more comfortable Dom. I hope they buy you out.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Got my potatoes planted and seeds for some marigolds and cardinal climbers. Cleared out the bed in the back yard and started some seeds to germinate.

Also put some hardware cloth over my Native Bee House. Too many birds....starlings, sparrows, nuthatches, downy woodpeckers etc....homing in on the free meal.

While i was putting up the wire, i watched 2 different mason bees stocking the nest blocks. I waited to see if they'd have trouble finding their holes. It took a couple minutes but both entered without a peoblem and kept at their jobs.

Really fun to watch.

Did more gardening today. Weeded the area along side of the garage and put down a few packs of wild flower seed. Planted some Mammoth Sunlfower seeds, pruned the dead growth from our Clematis vines.

You were absolutely correct about the clematis Dom. Let them go!  They looked completely dead and just statred producing buds all over the vines except the very last growth

One of our tulip beds is at full bloom....damned deer ate the other bed to the ground. Hostas are all up, bleeding heart is full of flowers.

Asparagus is coming up fast, spinach in the Trough is out of control and I ate  my first couple radishes.
Spring is finally beginning to spring!

I had my first garden asparagus today. Shallots have been making their way into several meals as well. Strawberries are just starting to flower, snow/snap peas are starting to grab hold of the trellis. Peach, plum and cherry trees are blossoming big-time.  Apples and pears are opening up but blossoms are still awhile away. Lots of stuff under the lamps waiting for me to recoup from a pair of Walleye all-nighters to go in the ground. Walleye fishing & Fruit/vegetable gardening, my #1 and 2 hobbies/passions. If I make it to retirement I won't be bored.

I got my potato barrels planted, 2 red , 1 yellow and 1 russet. We'll see how they turn out. The peas and snap peas are doing well and I started a salad garden . I mixed 3 different kinds of leaf lettuce and some spinach seeds together and sprinkled them in a 2x4 ft. garden box I made, something different All the other seedlings down stairs are doing nicely.

Did you plant yourshallots last fall? I was thinking about adding some to my herb plot.

I've got seeds   germinating for a variety of stuff. Pickles, cukes, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, tomatoes, cardinal Climbers and peppers.

I'll move them to the trough planter in little peat pots in a few days. Then in a couple weeks ....maybe 3, I'll transplant them to the gardens.

We have a freeze warning tonight and tomorrow night. Maybe even snow showers romorrow morning.
