We are back to Dougherty after a week at the Franklin Co Fair

​       This picture was taken of us at the Franklin Co Fair.  You can see it isn’t work all the time, we do get to spend time together.  Larry was on a break from volunteering at Grandpa’s Farm at the fair.     
      Here we are home again, after last week being at the Franklin Co Fair, Hampton, Iowa.  We would leave by 8 and get home at 10 that night.  Long days but it was fun.  We want to thank all that stopped and said hi.  The fair was good, but it is also good to be home again.  We could wish we had weather like this week, but we had lots of rain, lots of mud and then the humidity and the heat came at the weekend.  But it is July, and it is the fair. 
      We unloaded on Monday and Tuesday, so plants are back on the wagons or inside the greenhouse.  I watered all day yesterday. 
       Now I will need to clean up the racks with the plants.  I have one more event to go to Herb Fest in Greene on Sunday July 28th, last Sunday of July.  I will be taking perennials, succulent containers, and house plants.  I might get some little junk containers planted but we will see how that goes. 
    We still have trees and shrubs.  They are on sale at $15.00 off the trees which is 10 % and the shrubs are $5.00 and that is 10%.  I am back to working in the house office.  But if you come to look, I will come out.  I have camera up so I can see you drive up. 
    We have lilies that look good, and perennials too.   Some of the annuals are still looking good, if you need filler. They will be here till it is time for the cleanup.  Again thanks to all that stopped at the fair.  I love growing the plants, but love it even more when the plants bring so much joy to the gardeners.
