Greetings!
Hopefully you are enjoying an amazing gardening season! As this is being written, a nice rain is steadily falling on the greenhouse roof (and on a plastic roof it sounds just like it does when it rains at camp on the tent roof!).
It has been wonderful to see all the  familiar customer faces after coming back to work from a year of maternity leave - thank you for all the warm 'welcome backs' and well wishes!!
Baby Ashlyn is doing great and enjoys spending her mornings at the greenhouse too!
Now - enough bragging and back to work...
Did you know gardening may help you sleep better? It's true:

Ah Dad - We Love You!
 This weekend marks the time to spoil, thank and make a big deal out of all the DADS in our lives! Top 17 'Daddisms':
1. Do you think I'm made of money
2. Money doesn't grow on trees
3. When I was your age ...
4. I'm not sleeping, I'm just resting my eyes
5. I'm not going to tell you again
6. Were you raised in a barn
7. Don't talk back to your mother 8. They don't make them like they used to
9. Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about
10. Don't tell your mother
11. Waste not, want not
12. You're not going out in that
13. We were grateful to have an orange for Christmas
14. Now, don't go spending a lot on me
15. A little hard work never hurt anybody
16. You'll understand when you're older
17. Don't let the bedbugs bite
Have you heard any of those while growing up? #6 and #15 seem to ring a bell for me... just sayin!
Stop in at Family Flowers to pick up a GIFT CARD for Dad - and attach it to a fresh filled Patio Pot, or a Birdfeeder and some seed. We can even provide the Father's day card for you too!
