Sunday morning, we've had a beautiful week of weather, the plants are growing like crazy, dahlias are budded already, that's good because they get booted out this week, ready or not!
We have a skadzillion plants waiting to pot with little space left so this is the crunch time.

I taught my first full NIA class last weekend, it was fun and in the words of my lovely teacher Casey, I wasn't afraid to suck or blow, and there were a few rough transitions but we all got sweaty and felt good afterward! More on nia later. Very tough to fit my dancing into a full schedule with spring but it is necessary for my balance.

Back to the plants, we've done a great job with our pinching this year and plants are looking full and well branched, starting to sell now and that is great. In this business the money streams out on a daily basis and only really flows back in for 2-3 months, it's always exciting when the direction reverses to incoming.

This is a picture of Mora masquerading as Amelia. She was out feeding the chickens on a cool morning. Smacking her lips, hmm was she eating chickens or feeding chickens. bad dog.

This is the marvelous A team at lunch, they didn't have enough fiddly little work to do with seeding all day so had to make origami cranes! See how pleased we all are with our handiwork, which is going to go to Kathy's bridal shower as favors! (left to right, Kathy, Katie, Amelia)

As you can see in the background there is more snow! Imagine 7 days ago and snow. I am just praying that this pattern of weather on the weekends is not going to continue into May, we really need a good May this year for all the garden centers.

Plants are growing beautifully this year, a good mix of sunny bright weather with a few cloudy, rainy bits tossed in intermittently. Sunday evening, a fine cool mist is falling and I have warned the pansies and linaria that they are about to be booted outside so we can use the space! I always have the remay at hand in case they need a little blanket for a cool night. Lucky they are so rugged. We are all amazed that we are on week 14, doesn't seem possible
