This post is a bit late, as some of the pictures were taken in March. But I wanted to give an update about what exactly is going on in that plot next to the cornfield, near the road and marquee. Why, cut flowers of course! To be exact, we have readied a 75 x 25 foot garden where many different varieties of cut flowers will be grown for the NCCS Flower CSA.

| The first step is using the plow to turn over the sod. |
 |
| Next, we attached the tiller and went over the plowed area to even things out and incorporate the sod. |
 |
| Green Heart Sunflower seeds were planted mid April. Sunflowers are surprisingly hardy! |
 |
| Here you can see a row of 'Rocket Mix' snapdragons, planted with the sunflowers in mid April. Snapdragons can also take colder temperatures so it's okay to plant them this early. |
It's now time to think about the big planting of the 15 plus varieties of flowers that will grace this garden. This will happen within the next 2 weeks.
We still have
flower shares available, please get in touch if you're interested in a beautiful bouquet once a week for 18 weeks, starting in June!
