Here's an interesting picture that illustrates that there's always something going on in the greenhouse business. It doesn't seem that warm outside right now, but it was time to get the shade cloth over the greenhouse roof at Janoski's Farm & Greenhouse today. The huge cloth was laid out in the parking lot and about 6 people were involved in guiding it up to the roof and then dragging it down over this section of the greenhouse. 
What's inside of the greenhouses now? Plenty of lilies, mums, hydrangeas, azaleas, etc for Easter. The mums were "Buy 2, Get 1 Free", so of course 3 mums came home with me.. I ran into a friend who owns Bocktown Beer & Grill today at Janoski's. She was picking up a flat of mini potted violas for decorations at the restaurant. Perfect for little table decorations! BTW, Bocktown is planning to get active in sourcing even more of their foods from local growers and producers, so stay tuned to their web-site. Of course, they are already a supporter of regional breweries. (If my "friend" is reading this, drop down to the 3/22 post below & see "Chefs")As a final note - take a look at these lettuces and kole crops out in the flats under the awning! Can gardening be far away now? Inside the greenhouse we spotted a few tomato plants with a tiny tomato or two on them already ....... also plenty of herb plants. Why not grab a basil plant as my friend did, and do some snipping on it for cooking in the next month or so? Then plant it outside when the weather warms up!
