We await the avalanche of orders this news will bring.

We are half way thru the summer,
though it has been a rainy one, and cooler than I
remember in a long while. The summer squash is
ready as well as the cucumbers .. the tomatoes
should be in soon .. though more sun would be
helpful. Nothing is more joyful than picking the fruits
of your labor. Not to mention yummy.
Lost alot of my roses from the winter .. and will
slowly replace them... The construction here is
coming to an end happily, and I have to say that I
have been truly blessed. A speical thanks to Sheila,
Yvonne & Adrienne the 'SunRose Girls' for making this
transition a smooth one!
For those of you that are local I do hope you come
visit the new SunRose Center and meet us and 'sniff'
to your hearts content!
