Recycle the Tree

Well, Christmas season is over and a New Year will be beginning shortly. Remember to re-cylcle your real tree (fake trees I guess go back into the box and stored in the garage or attack). Many non-profit organizations will do this for a small fee. The material is then used as garden mulch or landscape
ground cover.

I did see a lot of new people (as well as some old friends) this year at the farm that have never cut their own tree or have never had a real tree before for the holiday season. Maybe this "Green" thing is taking off and people are now aware of fake tree's carbon foot print. You can learn more of that on my web site.

A lot of winter crocus have started blooming (great to see some flowers in the yard during the winter months). It won't too long for the tulips and daffodils start showing off. If you haven't planted any yet, there is still plenty of time. The bulbs will start showing up in all the stores (if they haven't already). Next bulbs in line will be the Lilies. What a great, long lasting show they put on, starting as early as May and all the way into September. Nice to have fresh cut flowers from the yard in the house.

Well, anyway, until next time and meanwhile, back at the farm...
