A growing gift

It’s out of the box, but I still don’t know exactly what my gift is.

I could ask, but I kind of like having a mystery gift in my hands.

I think I’ll wait to see what kind of flower pops out. It shouldn’t take too long before it reveals itself to me.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Cocopeat disk for Amaryllis

This video shows you how quickly the Cocopeat disk rehydrates ready for planting.

This is the start of having winter flowers at my house.

I always feel better when it is cold outside, seeing plants grow inside. It makes getting through the dark of winter easier.

Fingers crossed that these two bulbs start growing quickly so I can enjoy them all the sooner.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Spring flowers on the farm

This video was taken around five-thirty this morning, before the breeze picked up.

I’m afraid there are more weeds than I want. I pull weeds, yet they return. I wish the flowers would be half as hardy as the weeds.

I have a lot more weeds to pull, but as I do, I can admire the flower colors as they pop out around the farm.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

New flower watering bottle

If you are tired of getting wet when watering a hanging basket, this might be for you.

(The sounds in the background of this video are from Car-E and Barn-E as they wrestle around my kitchen.)

The cats and my kitchen survived the roughhousing.

The cost for the watering bottle was $15.99, so it wasn’t too cheap. Here’s the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CH2XNMP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you get a cheaper one, great.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

First blooms of the season

Spring is finally coming to the farm.

Storms are in the offing this evening. Fingers crossed that these don’t get beat down by hail.

More tulips will be popping open soon.

It’s just the beginning of a colorful growing season.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
