We're Open!

Coleus lookin' sharp next to some nemesia.

Our gerberas are starting to show their colors!

Need a shade lover? Try a bleeding heart.

Warm colors from straw flower and coleus heat things up!

Linaria looks like a field of wildflowers, and so fragrant!

The nemesia are full of buds and blossoms.

Variegated lobularia and diamond frost have an airy feel.

Our alyssum doesn't mind this cold.

Rainy weather making you blue? Orange you glad we open next week?! Hope to see you all on Friday, April 19th.

Plumbago flowers of baby blue.

Forget-me-nots in bloom.

Our new biodegradable coir pots, filled with tomatoes.

The pansies and violas are ready to be planted!

A soft glow surrounds these blue torenia.

Look at those Fishnet Stockings...coleus.

Torenia hanging baskets full of blossoms already.

We even planted our gerbera daisies early this year, so that
more blooms would be open for you to see.

Double impatiens are great shade garden flowers.

I dare you to find one without a flower...
 
Almost looks like they've been painted with water colors.

Firey orange nemesia.

Hope this brings a smile to your face.

Almost There

The greenhouses are really starting to fill up. Greenhouses 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10 are practically bursting at the seams. Everyone here at EBF can't wait for spring to get here, when it will be warm in the greenhouses and out. Until then, we hope you enjoy these updates of what's going on at the farm.


Pansies and violas are just starting to bloom in greenhouse #3.

Purple and white bacopa plugs- wait until you see
them in baskets!


Aren't these coleus just beautiful?!

Greenhouse #2 filled up fast with dahlias, new guinea impatiens,
grasses and baskets of fuschia.

Right now, greenhouse #5 is full of perennial 4 packs, but they will
soon be moved outside, once it warms up a little.

All week we've been transplanting vegetable plugs. Here are
 just a few trays of our lettuce.


As you can see, it's getting crowded in greenhouse #9. Our perennial
gallons  are very happy in here.

And lastly, greenhouse #10 is home to our Proven Winner 4" pots
 and hanging baskets.

A little something to look forward to in the coming months.

Window box full of calibrachoa, verbena, petunias and lobelia.

Violas, petunnias, cleomes, grasses and plumbago.

They don't call it a butterfly bush for nothing.

Captivating coleus, with a hint of calibrachoa.

Positively purple verbena, angelonia, calibrachoa and ageratum.

A burst of baptisia.

The barn, bursting with color!

Getting ready to uncurl...

Soft colors of columbine and lamb's ear.

Good morning glory!

Heliotrope, nicotiana, coleus, ageratum, salvia, neiremburgia, dianthus and annual baby's breath.

Sticking Cuttings




George and Crew sticking cuttings in the greenhouse. After we'd planted the 
cuttings, they were put on a heating bench and had a light mist applied to them.
