Warmer than usual spring temps--15-20 degrees F above normal--are tricking plants into flowering four (4) WEEKS early. This is nuts! Sow cool season crops now such as spinach, peas, or kale. Use soil temperature as a gauge to determine when to plant crops. ... What is the shrub in the photo? Hint: Its blooms are fragrant.

Every single bloom in this photo was grown on our farm. . Our cut flowers are USDA certified organic, sustainable, regenerative, and grown without chemicals. ....
