Greetings from The Flower Guy:

It’s been an interesting growing season this year. Hot and dry early, with the fall trying to make up the rain shortfall. The warm late summer weather helped us to produce huge mums with enough rain and mild weather to extend the annuals. With the Thanksgiving / Christmas seasons just ahead I’m looking back on our Fall Festival and forward to our newest arrival, mulch.

Our Christmas trees and greens are scheduled to arrive around Thanksgiving and inside our store we’ve begun the change-over to the holidays. I’ll post some history and care of Christmas trees on our website, so look for that in December. On the subject of Christmas, I’m rerunning an article from last year on care of poinsettias.

Did you know that we now have restored vintage furniture? The items vary, but mostly there are tables and chairs, usually oak, but often we have porcelain top kitchen tables. If I find other pieces (like dressers or desks) that are interesting I’ll bring them in.

If there is any topic you’d like to have me cover, please let me know. I hope you have a safe and happy holiday season.
