Raising Flowers and Horses

The Return of Flowers and (for Me) Joy!
Often, it seems, I begin my updates with the phrase, “it’s been a busy month on the farm.” I guess I still haven’t adjusted to that baseline when growing flowers, at least from March to November. This month, though, it feels particularly true. In the past 4 weeks, I have planted over 450 perennials and woodies, and over 2,500 spring seedlings! That’s a lot of holes to dig. And while it feels like spring now, many of those planting days were cold and windy.
