Ever wonder what we do after we close for the season? We've been busy installing more solar panels, moving all the plant babies off tables, flipping the tables, putting the plants on the ground, and covering them with frost cloth for the winter, taking down the shade cloth and plant descriptions, cleaning lots of pots and trays, cleaning and stratifying seeds for next year's plantings, and taking a vacation. ![This beautiful bowl was turned for us by Anthony Harris from a giant burl on a large oak tree that...]()
This beautiful bowl was turned for us by Anthony Harris from a giant burl on a large oak tree that fell in our woods early this spring. We're so pleased with how it turned out. Anthony was also able to make a larger bowl (even bigger than this one which is 16" wide), plus 3 more smaller nesting bowls, which he plans to sell. If you're interested, you can find him and other talented artist through the @kc_woodturners ![Some of our favorite flowers are blooming right now. These are called frost flowers - ice ribbons...]()
Some of our favorite "flowers" are blooming right now. These are called frost flowers - ice ribbons created as water freezes and breaks out of the stems of these plants. Dittany (Cunila origanoides) is popular for creating these beauties and that's the plant we find them on this morning. ![Another bitter sweet end of the season.
