2010's First Greenhouse trip ! WOOWHOO!!

this post has lots -o- photos! please be patient while it loads.

So while I am off to the garden to do the days chores and harvest more spring greens , I thought I would share my first trip to the greenhouse with you. It opened March 1st and usually I have been up there several times by now, BUT I FINALLY made it there yesterday! (It's been a long strange month I tell ya!)
so here we go !

This photo barely shows an eighth of of the facility, but is the main entrance. It a bit of a drive from the house, but OOO- sooo worth it.

If you are in Indiana, and want to check them out , here is thier web page with all the pertinent info .

OH ! I love the leaves of these three begonias.

Ok, there are plenty of the little green leaved on so that narrows it down to between the two with pinks in them...

Husband I am going to turn my back while you mix the two up in your hands and I will take the one that is in the hand I call out..


I Choose..ummm...... Both.. O.k., o.k. ......... I choose your right hand!
