PHIL is away from the farm Sept.4-15

Cool weather looks like is here to stay.  Tonight the lows are in the low 40's.  This is perfect weather for the Hydrangeas to color up and the leaves on the Bittersweet to keep dropping.  Next week we will be offering Snowberry.  It will be mainly pink but for those who read this and request it we will  have a limited amount of ultra pleasing green snowberry.  Also, I have in the cooler another 80 or so bunches of Blueberry Viburnum that will be sold first come first served.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we make it past the full moon of September without a frost and then that means we should have at least another 3 weeks frost free until the October moon.
