Time For Christmas!

Open Doors At Janoski's Greenhouse!

Well, this was a first. Taking advantage of a warm & sunny day, LFLF stopped at Janoski's Farm & Greenhouse today to pick up our Christmas Poinsettias.  I have NEVER seen the greenhouse doors & windows open in December!

Poinsettias are known for being very sensitive to cold freezing air, so it's always a quick dash out to the warm vehicle with the pots enclosed in a plastic sleeve.  Not today, but wait another day or two and you'll be making that sprint through the cold air!  Merry Christmas!

LFLF was out and about on this cloudy, but relatively warm day to get our poinsettias.   The trick is to get them when it's warm so that they don't freeze in the cold air going from greenhouse to car to house.

Janoski's also has a selection of Christmas Cactus potted up, as well as other seasonal plants. 
After stopping in the greenhouse, LFLF went over to the farm market ... more on that in the next post!

Holiday Colors!

Who wouldn't love browsing through the poinsettias at Janoski's Farm & Greenhouse in Clinton? http://janoskis.com/ Several people were leaving as I got there, hustling their poinsettias into warm cars & vans on a cold & windy day. Today was a sunny day and I timed my trip to coincide with the Steelers game and to miss the crowds. Steeler Sundays ..... you'd have to go back to my October rant on a bye week to understand!

With such a great variety of colors, sizes, and varieties of poinsettias that it's hard to pick out just one. I usually buy 2 pots that each have a red, a pink, & a white plant and put them side by side in a copper boiler. Just turn 2 empty pots upside down and set the poinsettia pots on top of them to lift them to the right height in the copper boiler. Then it's just a matter of what else I like to fit in the other rooms ........ hopefully you've visited a local greenhouse grower for your poinsettias ---- I know that my poinsettias will last until Valentines Day!
