So this week I am going to be telling you about what I am doing to get ready for the Franklin Co Fair, as it will open up Wed July 19th. This afternoon, 3 of us will load up all the pots, baskets, trees and shrubs to decorate the fair ground. I have been known to take 300 down to decorate. We will decorate the fair grounds with these beautiful pots and containers. The picture you see is what they look like before we load them all up. They have to be loaded on a livestock trailer and then placed around. Our help and I have worked hard to have these ready for the fair.
West Fork Winners 4-H club did come one evening and planted around 80 of the containers so that helped. They will be pleasantly surprised how nice they look.
What do I do with them after the fair? They become my garden and I will decorate around the house and the greenhouse with them to enjoy as my garden. I will enjoy them till it is time to unplant or clean them up. THEN I wonder why I do so many???? I am asked to sell them, but the size of the containers I would have and expense to replace them so just decide to keep them for our garden and use them next year. My Independent garden center site understands what I would have to charge to sell them so it is just better to enjoy them at the fair and here at Becky's Greenhouse. The fun begins and Larry and I are very proud to be part of this fair as it is a great County Fair. For all of you that have attended it you realize what we have in Franklin Co Iowa for a local fair. Till next time, this is Becky Litterer, Becky's Greenhouse, Dougherty Iowa
