JD2 Ranch availability, daylilies, cannas, bulbine, sunflowers, [...] plants for the Pearl Farmer’s Market on June 20, [...] At the Pearl Farmer’s Market on Saturday several people bought polka dot plants and I told them I would write up a blog on the plants for them.

I know he couldn’t answer a lot of questions – but for him even answering the simple questions is [...] Pearl Farmer’s Market May [...] This Saturday will be an especially busy weekend. First Marty will be holding down the fort at the Pearl Farmer’s Market Saturday morning. Please be kind and gentle with him – he is NOT a gardener. He will have some bare root daylilies, some bulbine (see yesterday’s blog), some neat little sunflowers, some sedums, and a few other things. All in all it will be pretty simple for him. The sunflowers that he will have are shorties. The first one Sunbright Kids – only gets to be about 8″ tall, and the second one Sundance Kids gets between 15 – 17″ tall. Both are great for containers and for the front of the [...] Yesterday was the Grand Opening of the Pearl Farmer’s Market with all the booth’s cutting their red ribbons and it was a fantastic day. Lots and lots and lots of people. We did end up closing a little early because of the rain – yippee for the rain! (We ended up getting just under 2 inches here at the ranch.)
