WE RECYCLE!

If you have any one or two gallon black nursery planters from plant purchases last year feel free to drop them by. You can leave them by the nursery fence.

I will be creating a drop station this year.

This is a great way to help us keep prices low, and also to reduce what is going into our landfills.

Gearing up for 2011!

I know we are all looking forward to a bright and shiny new year. Last years weather made it difficult to do any kind of gardening. Those of you who tried to grow vegetables will understand that, many people planted their gardens three or four times and managed very little yield as the growing season was cut quite short. Myself I tried to do a corn maze for Uncle Daniel's Pumpkin Patch, only to have the small stalks Knocked to the ground by rain before October.

The economy kept us all on our toes as we watched several large and small businesses slip away. However as we watch the economy begin to pick up there are more and more jobs becoming available.

Personally my spring and summer was plagued by the loss of of precious family members and friends. I certainly hope I never have to endure (or anyone else does) six losses in less than Six Months again. For those of you that visited you may have noticed my heart just wasn't in the day to day activities that I love so much.

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE I ended 2010 on New Years Eve at the nursery Doing Year End Inventory and Started 2011 on New Years Day by prepping planters and doing the initial Spring Cleaning, gearing myself up for a Great year. I can't wait Spring to arrive so that I can start planting, and playing in the yard.

Earlier as fall waned to Winter, I moved all of the tropical plants into the greenhouses and bedded others down for the winter. I have already ordered Water lily tubers in anticipation of the upcoming season.

An important thing to remember is that the greatness of a year falls mostly in our Attitude. I hope you all have a great 2011, I am looking for to it being one of the best years I can create.
