Fall Bulbs

Hello To all,
Things here at Estate Perennials have been very busy over the last few months. Getting to the computer to write up a new blog post has been a long time coming. We are now just starting to get the fall dig under way to start filling fall orders of lilies and peonies and other perennials. Over the next few weeks we will be shipping our lily bulbs across Canada, into the Unite States and a few over seas.

I would like to thank all who have ordered bulbs this season. The weather this season have been very strange around here but everything is looking good for shipping. A few Martagon lilies were dug the other day to see how they are doing. The bulbs were very large and solid.

If you are still hoping to fit one or two lilies into the garden now is the time to get you order in. AS we will soon stop taking orders for the year.

Hope everyone has had a reasonable growing season and enjoyed there gardens.

T-shirts and Things

We have added a few more shirts and things with a new design. A great line drawing of a martagon lily. These Items are a great value and you have many different size options.


There are 2 styles of ladies t shirts and 2 styles of men's shirts to choose from as well we change the look of the Tote bag. We added this image to the bag for a cleaner look.



We even added a pillow to the mix just for fun.


If there are any items you would like with this logo or a lily added to it just let me know and I will added it soon to the selection.

First day of the Market

So last Friday was the kick off to the new season at the Farmers market. There were a bunch of good prizes given out and a really big cake to share. Lots of old vendors returned from last year and a lot of new vendors joined in. One of the fun things that happened was a guest appearance of Bailey The Buffalo Jr. . People got to see, pet and take a few photos of the year old Bison.
.

The fun part was his grand entrance. Riding on in through the big doors of the hall. He was right up front enjoying his ride in the open top car. This was great fun for all who attended to see.

This weekend should be a good weekend. The sun is out and we should be done with frost and snow until the fall.

Heritage Market

So today the Stony Plain Heritage Farmers Market kicks off for the season.
It runs today from 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm and tomorrow from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

All are welcome to wander through and take a look at all the stuff. The market was renamed and opened up to 2 days. With the opening Jim Hole of Hole's Greenhouses will be there. A special appearance of Bailey the Buffalo Jr. will also be had. Come get your photo taken with a bison.

It is at the fair grounds in Stony Plain right by the Pioneer Museum. It should be a good time.
I will be there to sell lots of potted lilies, I have just over 2500 lilies potted up to sell this year.

Hope you can make it out.

Out In the Garden

I was working away today in the garden and thought A photo of how the martagon lilies are doing would be good.

This is a smaller patch of martagon Burnt Orange coming up. The tallest is about six inches high. The garden is starting to look really good so far. The weeds are not coming on to fast and the clean up from last year is close to being done.

Lots of old stems and peony tops to be cleaned up yet but we are over half done. The asiatic lilies are just starting to show life in the odd spot in the garden. Now a bit of steady rain and some warm weather should really get things growing.
