We will be having our Annual Garden Tour of the farm Friday and Saturday April 10th and 11th from 2 - 6 pm. During the event, we will also be hosting the Keep Argyle Beautiful annual bearded iris contest. To enter, drop by with a cutting of your bearded iris either Friday or Saturday during the farm tour. Iris will be judged at 4 pm on Saturday. 1st prize for both youth and adult categories is your choice of any of our bearded iris rhizomes (to be picked up in the fall). In addition to the free tour and bearded iris contest, there will be jam tasting and a gift shop. Hope yall can make it!

Farm Tasks for the Week
Continuing spring cleanup with more oak leaf and acorn removal. Did not get around to mulching yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on the leaf cleanup.
Planted a couple of trays of new snapdragons. This is a late planting as we typically get these in ground in October, so we’ll see how they fair. Received and planted the lily bulbs for the big production trial.
Started a few trays of sunflowers and celosia to be planted in the ranunculus beds within the next week or two.
The peonies are looking great this year. We have a lot of large buds forming so should be a good harvest!

No news is good news for chickens, lol. We have plenty of eggs, so still at spring egg pricing.
