Getting Ready For Fall




Fall Asters & Mums Bursting with Color!





Fall is just around the corner. Although this summer's hot weather caused a delay in flowering, the mum crop has now started to bloom! Our potted sunflowers and Rudbeckias are also starting to bloom. We planted our winter pansies a few weeks ago and they will be ready for you to purchase in a few weeks.


Our fern starts for next year's hanging baskets will arrive this week. Started now, they will be awesome by spring 2012. In a few weeks our geranium cuttings will come in. These will be our stock to take cuttings from all winter. From 1100 stock plants we will produce 10,000 four-inch potted geraniums.

At the farm we are busy getting ready for the hayride season. Everything is cleaned and scrubbed, painted and mended. We will be making new scarecrows for the hayride path and decorating the barns.

The pumpkin crop looks good, though more rain would help the pumpkins grow a bit bigger.

Fifty one-day-old turkeys arrived at the post office last week, and are already making themselves at home. They should weigh
between 18 and 24 pounds by Thanksgiving. Nothing beats a home-raised turkey, so call to order yours today!

There's always something exciting happening at Boyert's - come on in and see!
