Ready and Loaded
Loading for the Heartland Humane Society Plant Sale. Friday May 10th at the First Presbyterian Church from 9 to 5 in Ottumwa. It’s a huge undertaking that I couldn’t have got done without the help of some awesome employees. If it wasn’t such a worthwhile cause, we probably wouldn’t do it. So be sure to check out their sale tomorrow, buy a few plants ( they’ve got some great Mother’s Day options, and help their furry friends. 🐶😻
Everyone knows and loves the Proven Winners brand. We’ve got you covered with lots of regulars and several new varieties. Come check them out!
The old wagon just didn’t want to turn but Steve got it in there-forcibly!
This is what those 23 boxes turned into when opened. Lots of work to come. Each tray transplants into approximately 10-12 flats of packs.
Yesterday this semi had the nerve to show up during the Iowa Women’s semifinal basketball game. He was scheduled for 8am this morning which I wasn’t happy about either. Thank goodness for the pause button. So much planting to be done this week. Each box has 4 or 5 trays with 512 plants in each tray. Time to open up another greenhouse and back to work, now that Iowa women won the Big Ten Championship. What a nail biter!
A few hundred hanging baskets done after hours. Now back to funeral work.
Des Moines Craft Show
Set up and ready. This was filmed Friday after almost eight hours of setting up. Now on to Sunday night and tearing it all back down for the last time this year.
I’ve got excellent help today !
No amount of money, no way. Lucky they are fearless. The roof vent is repaired and shut and I am no longer heating the sky! My feet only left the ground to rest on the bench and watch.

Callahan Craft Show Des Moines
All set up and ready to open. This is what you’re missing out on if you don’t come to the Callahan Craft Show this weekend in Des Moines. ( This is also why it took 9 hours to set up!)
While you’re here for the greenhouse open house, stop in and browse through the flower shop. We never realized how many people didn’t know it was here!
The lights do come in handy. A few thousand finished today !✅
A last minute check of our booth as the show was opening up at 5 this evening. We’ll be here at the Iowa State Fairgrounds tonight until 9, Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 10 to 4. This is a huge show with over 300 crafters and artists. Worth the drive to come check it out.
