Woven Polyfilm for Greenhouses – a good product
I have just received in the mail some channel lock for fastening greenhouse coverings, from a supplier, Northern Greenhouse, in Manitoba. The package included a little personal note from the proprietor, saying he is experiencing some serious health issues. Northern Greenhouse was our source for the woven polyfilm currently on our hoop house. We put… Continue reading Woven Polyfilm for Greenhouses – a good product

Updated Seed List
I have added a few species and a few others are now out of stock. I wanted to make sure I had reserved enough seeds for my own use before I added Ozark Sundrops (pictured above), Obedient Plant, and Giant Coneflower, and a couple more, to the Available Seeds lists. They are now on the… Continue reading Updated Seed List
Slow Plants have to be More Expensive
I have kept the prices of most species constant for the past few years and I intend to keep those prices — mostly $6 for small pots and $12 for 4 1/2″ tall pots — for any of the species I can get up to salable size in one season. However, some species require more… Continue reading Slow Plants have to be More Expensive
Dropping some species
Anyone who has visited the nursery knows how little bench space I have. To make room for the new species, some less popular species are going to be dropped from the nursery. Thimbleweed is certainly locally native but it is not that showy. I tried to keep two very similar species going, Thimbleweed and Long-headed… Continue reading Dropping some species
