Happy Easter! We are so blessed to share the farm with others. We hope you have a great day!

Spring is here but so are those things that fly around and are yellow. Know which one is good, just a pest or what to watch out for.
We need to study this for sure as Christmas trees are loved by wasps and bees.

What a beautiful spring day we had at the farm. Caroline was chasing a butterfly. In the picture to the left are Christmas trees growing and to the right is the field that is prepped for Sunflowers, zinnias and cosmos.
We hope that the wildflowers will be back again this year and plan on opening in May.

We found this Tiger moth on the farm when we were doing some planting. While it looks pretty it can do a ton of damage. So we are preparing to watch for damage and will deal if we see any.
Go away pests.... it's always something to look for on the farm.

Just hanging around waiting for the spring flowers

Just hanging around waiting for the spring flowers to start blooming. The trees are starting to bud and small blooms have started. Stay tuned for a possibility of a Spring Wildflower event!!!!

Happy National Agricutural day!
We finished our small spring planting this weekend. Excited to see these trees grow. Also looking forward to some more warm spring days.

Planting weekend! We received 200 trees to plant this weekend. 100 Leyland Cypress and 100 Carolina Sapphire. The Sapphire is a new variety we are introducing on the farm that is also a cypress and fills in nicely. They should do well in our climate.
Our kids loved helping for most of the planting yesterday. Our dog for the first time ever tried to steal some baby trees.

Ring ring ring....we have a phone at the farm now. Grateful that a friend had an old school phone for us. It's Christmas tree green! Also my son when he saw it said oh and you turn it on with this switch (it was the volume) and plug it into an outlet (nope that's the phone jack) when we got it.
We were cracking up and feeling a bit old at the same time. Our kids hadn't really seen one before.
We will be updating all the social media sites with our new number.
Also we have INTERNET!!!!!! It will really be helpful for Vendors and business transactions. Fun times ahead at the farm.

Ps... anyone else have the ring ring ring... banana phone song in your head on this post. Just me?

Phil dropped a tree in the parking lot that was leaning and thankfully he did. Ants had started their damage to this maple. What a cool design in the chopped log even though it was a bad thing for the tree.

This new toy is going to be so fun for photography

This new toy is going to be so fun for photography sessions at the farm. Our daughter enjoyed being a model with a small Christmas tree on top.
We may try with some sunflowers on too for fun during our Sunflower season!
Just wait and see the professionals work their magic. Contact me if you are a photographer for details.
So grateful for the little things.

Soil Sampling in several fields around the farm to

Soil Sampling in several fields around the farm to help us figure out what fertilizer or nutrients are needed. We took the samples ourselves this time and have sent the off to be analyzed. Stay tuned on the results.
Caroline was a great helper and Hudson and I were taking bets on which field had the most nutrients already.
It was so interesting to see the different type of soil between fields right next to each other.
Here are a few pics of the different samples we took. Only a small portion of each will be sent off to be analyzed.

This tree was covered in ice 2 weeks ago and now it's close to 60 degrees. We are looking forward to the spring time. However in VA we are used to the yo yo weather and it may snow again this weekend.
What farm gear do I keep out and ready is such the challenge. LOL. Welcome to VA in the winter!

Walking in a winter wonderland. The snow and ice have pretty much melted but the cold air is still here for a few more days. Here are the kids walking in the snow at the farm during the storm we had the other week. They had so much fun exploring in the snow.
Mama is ready for spring!

Baby trees and view of the ice covered farm. Very pretty to see and peaceful. I mentioned to Phil it was a beautiful day walking around the farm.
Meanwhile it was cold out, rain was coming, ice was dropping and limbs all through the woods.
It's sometimes what you see around you to lift your spirits even with the chaos in the background.

Ice at the farm was so pretty and the kids had a blast trying to find the biggest icicle. This is the transformed road over the pond with the trees coated in ice.
Thankful for little damage on the farm with the ice storm.

Happy Valentine's day! Pallet icicles! Who knew a pallet could be this pretty.
Stay warm with your Valentine today!
