Fresh Cuts



I love hyacinths--like lime green pine cones or miniature clusters of bananas emerging from the soil, their heavenly scent fills every room and their saturated hues feed my color-starved eyes.

We have them in abundance this week and it is my pleasure to harvest them each day.


We have them in pink...


yellow...


and blue.
We also have tulips!
RT gets the bulk of the heavy work pulling tulips, it's a bit like harvesting carrots.  We pull up the entire bulb.





We do not re-use the bulbs so if you are in charge of a municipal park or public area nearby and want to collect the bulbs for landscaping you can comment on this post.  A friend in charge of recycling our spent bulbs and will contact you.


From the ground, slipped into a sleeve and right into water.


Off to the barn for a conditioning rest in the cooler and they are ready for delivery to your door.



We have pink, salmon, apricot, orange and white tulips this week.  Colors and varieties are abundant, but not limitless.  As always, we will do our best to accommodate your order.  Please check your fax and email for current availability.
