A good part of the roaring silence you hear from me/us here is the nature of the year- it's cold and wet. According to today's Star-Tribune, as of Sunday, 1% of Minnesota's corn crop has been planted- normal for the date is 27%.

That does affect us, and the growth of the tubelings in the greenhouse. It's slow- and you need to know that your plants are GOING to be later than normal- that's not a probability, it's a fact. Plant growth is well behind normal this year.

One possible help- we do have some unsold Bare-Root Dormant tubelings available; and for folks with orders already in, we'll swap you, if you want. That means- you'd be getting more expensive, older plants, for no extra charge- and you could have them right now.

Email us or call if you're interested!

Another reason for the quiet- we had to let our one remaining employee go- hard times. So it's just the Meg and I doing the work here these days- which was being done by 4 people a few years go. So be patient.
