Today's post doesn't showcase plants... it shines a light on Moose. Most of our followers who have shopped with us "on the hill" are aware of our brown Border Collie. He watches everything from the doorway of our camper. Although he is pretty shy, he does have a few special friends- both human and canine. He had a birthday this past week and turned 10. He is a senior boy now, but he is a beautifully trained working stock dog, so when he is home at the farm, he is ready to herd our sheep.
When you stop by to shop this weekend, if he isn't watching from the doorway, ask for him... he's probably resting inside in the AC- we'll be glad to call him out...and of course, we need to remind everybody that we have quite a few interesting flowers and herbs loaded up on our sales wagons. So, after you've petted Moose, check out what's for sale. Sat and Sun 9-2 @ 11050 Lakeshore Drive, Clermont.

Our vacation is over and we are busy loading the wagons for a rainy weekend "on the hill". So many plants have matured and come ready these past four weeks, that it's hard to choose what to load. Annuals, perennials, veggies and herbs... hopefully we have something for everyone.
Our featured plant for this week is Aji Dulce- a sweet seasoning pepper, popular around the Caribbean and Central America. ...especially loved by Puerto Rican cooks for making so frito. We have had them for sale occasionally over the years, but now we are happy to report there is a nice big crop.
Stop by and shop with us on Sat or Sun 9-2 (even if you have to "run between the raindrops" as Grandma used to say) @ 11050 Lakeshore Drive, Clermont.

As the hot summer days roll on, one perennial stands tall and proud in the sunny garden. This is Rudbeckia Hirta- better known as Black-eyed Susan. They are looking so good this week, and when we return to sales next Saturday, they will be one of our featured flowers. We loved the wild ones at the edge of our family cow pasture in Pennsylvania. They are the state flower of Maryland. The Native Americans used the roots medicinally. This is a great plant for the pollinator garden.
As our vacation winds down this week, we find that there are MANY flowers and herbs ready to sell. It will be hard to choose which ones to load on the wagons when we come back. We've missed the "garden talk" with our loyal customers this July... and are looking forward to resuming sales on "the hill".
We think Moose has missed his special friends, as well. ...see you soon.

...and the vacation continues! Sandy had her second eye surgery on Tuesday, and it went well. Although the farmers are on vacation, the flowers are NOT. The red celosia we planted mid-June is now in full glorious bloom. When we get back to business on August 1, you'll easily see it on the flower wagon from the street.
Celosia (a relative to Cock's Comb) is a full sun, pollinator-friendly self-seeder that thrives in Florida summers. It will pair up nicely with our mixed vinca and coleus.
When we return to sales "on the hill" we'll have three FULL wagons of home-grown plants for sale that have enjoyed our hot weather and occasional afternoon rains.
Thanks for all the kind thoughts and comments... we'll be back before you know it, and your garden will be happy again.

One of our garden projects this week was moving the coleus off the mist line and out to their bench in the shade house. The good thing about being on "vacation" is that you can play with the plants in the cooler morning and stay inside in the AC during the hot afternoons.
We love coleus and it is a great hot weather plant. Rather than plant seeds for the common varieties, we shop for stock plants of varieties that are usually propagated from cuttings.
Currently, we have 8 colors, and all of them are getting ready to sell. When we return on August 1st, they will be the stars of the flower wagon.
Thanks for the good wishes for Sandy's cataract surgery. This coming Tuesday will be eye # 2... all's well with #1. (modern medicine is so amazing)
