    Plant Nursery

    This year we're going Urban!

    Please read our other blog post titled "Urban Farm".

    Right now though we are same as usual with dirt and lamps. Trying to keep everything healthy to make it through winter. Sales are up but with the weather being as cold as it has been I have been unable to ship out orders. I have been getting complaints about the shipping delay and hope to have the orders shipped out by Thursday this week.

    On a marketing note we will have our web page up and running by Spring 2009! We are currently going through our customer order data to pull into a marketing campaign for past clients and hope for a launch date of March 1st, 2009. The idea is to drive traffic to our sites and store sales with an increase of product testimonies.

    Heron Pond New Home?

    I can't believe I just stumbled upon this listing online. My husband and I have been driving around looking for a new place to rent when I saw this nice complex called Heron Pond. As soon as we got home the first thing I searched online for was Heron Pond and I found it!

    It is a 3rd floor unit with 2 bedrooms that each have a full bath. There is a small window in the Dining room that you can see the entrance to the complex and 69th ave n leading to the public beach access, and oh yes the Ocean!

    All new kitchen appliances that haven't even been used yet. New carpet throughout, bright lighting, glass sliding doors and a wood burning fireplace in the living room.

    Pro's:
    Close to beach with Ocean view.
    Semi Private Location
    Close to everything.

    Con's:
    Where to put the TV in the living room?
    What to do with the Sliding Glass Doors in Living room that are right next to the front door?
