Yesterday, we picked out the new plants for spring annual combination baskets and containers. There are so many choices, it was a little overwhelming but I had to keep the list short. I could have picked one of everything. We will have some amazing combinations for spring.
Now I am on the task of putting together our vegetables list. Are there any special tomatoes, peppers, herbs, etc that you want us to grow or have available? Just let me know and I will see what I can do to get them.

Yes, we were awarded Strasburg Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year this past Saturday Night. I was quite shocked and amazed. Doug Miller was instrumental in this but he was sick and couldn’t be there. I hope to thank him soon.
Here is the article from the NV Daily. http://www.nvdaily.com/news/2010/01/community-service-recognized.php
I do want to thank everyone who has made it possible for us to be here and that is you, our great and loyal customers. You really believe in us and we are going to be here for you. Lots of big changes coming around here and you probably won’t recognize the place come spring. We open March 1st and I am looking forward with the coming Spring.
If the gate is open, I am here if you need something pop by or give me a call. 540-436-3130 or email eatmoreapples@aol.com

In order to get the latest and greatest and stay on top of new plants, products, and ideas, we go to trade shows, seminars, and other workshops. Every January, one of the biggest landscape and nursery trade shows descends upon Baltimore. We have been going for a number of years and this year was a good one. What was interesting was there were some vendors I was looking forward to seeing were not there. Surprised was the key here. So, I made some phone calls and got to talk to the vendor and got our order taken care of.
We are working on new signage and labeling for each of the departments and pricing of products. I am really excited about this year. We have a year under our belts and have come up with some great ideas for workshops, signage, labeling, products, and so much more.
We are 7 weeks away from opening on March 1st. I am excited about spring. There are some really amazing products we are going to be carrying and even growing. Yes, we are taking the plunge. There are plants especially natives that we want to have available but are not able to get them locally from our growers. So, we are erecting a growing hoophouse and will have some spectacular perennials and grasses available.
Plus I can finally get some storage. I hope because I am truly lacking in that department.
