Blog Post # 5

Good morning from Louis Green at Greentown Farms and the Greentown Flower Patch!

This weekend was not as productive as last, but we still made progress.

We are steadily marching toward our average last frost date: March 15th. The trees are starting to turn green and the world is waking up!

Mentally, I had a rough weekend, but was able to cure it with a walk in the woods and the sound of wind in the pines.  Not to mention enjoying watching a wild swamp rabbit nibble on winter wheat while being stalked by Karen for pictures.

I would also like to report that my turnips and mustards on the greenhouse grounds are starting to come up! I can’t wait for fresh greens. After the greens come off Wes with WS dozer will come finish up the leveling for the greenhouse site.

I bought more seed this weekend to ensure that I can reach my goal of a peak output of over 300 bouquets per week. I am excited to get this started, but I am in a holding pattern as my field dries up. I want to plant flowers and produce, NOT little Ford tractors.

Please follow our Greentown Flower Patch Facebook page to see our day to day operations!  There is much to do….

This is Louis Green,

 Love ya bye!
