Howdy everyone! I hope you have been enjoying this weather as much as I have. I think we are finally clear of the cold snaps. The flowers around the farm are starting to bloom more and they are gorgeous! I had never seen such cool colored snapdragons before and I had never seen larkspur flowers in person before. The larkspur are huge, each flower stalk is around 3-4' tall! Michael took a lot of the flowers to sell at the market this weekend, I am sure everyone is going to love them.

A few weeks ago, Michael found these strange insect eggs that were attached to a peach tree branch that he was trimming. They are perfectly round dots that are glued to the stick. We tried to identify it, but had no luck. It is still a mystery even now that the eggs have hatched. I have to admit the eggs looked pretty cool. If anyone knows what these are please let us know because we are curious!
Our Lady Banks Rose has been growing and blooming like crazy! It has become a little hard to walk under so I trimmed it up a little bit. Now people can actually walk under the trellis without getting smacked in the face with a rose branch! You can also see how much the lettuce we planted with the volunteers last month has grown. Another great week on the Howdy Farm!
