I'm sure everyone is so excited it's spring! I know I am!! Ready for the flowers to bloom, and the pollen to go away so I can breathe :-)
It's planting season for the families. They are busy planting their fields and getting their gardens together. I can't wait too see how the blueberries turn out at the Stutzmans and the blackberries at the Zook plantation.
I never know what to do with the flowers once they bloom. We are a daisy flower family. We love the different colors they can bring and the nice look about them. Between my mothers house and mine, we probably have close to 20-30 daisy plants. Once they bloom I cut them and give them to people or put them in cute little vases. Since we are getting into this whole basket world, I decided this year to use the baskets as a way to go outside of the regular glass vase.
I must tell you that the baskets don't come with plastic liners. {They don't use them but we "english" have to use them...} I went to Home Depot and got some plastic liners that I could cut and make them fit in there just right. I can't wait for the daisy's to get bigger and ready to cut.
I think it would make a really cute Mother's Day/Grandmother type gift. Everyone gives flowers, why not make it more special?
