The road will remain open at the nursery and to the west between Northfield and the Interstate it will also be open except for the short time that they are installing new culverts.

This past week, our crews installed 12 balled and burlapped shade trees into two of the City’s parks. Grant Park was the recipient of 3 hybrid Elms, 3 Oaks, 2 Maples and 3 Honeylocust trees. Jefferson Park received an Autumn Blaze Maple. Each year we donate trees to Northfield’s parks in appreciation of the support that the Northfield community gives our business. We hope to be able to continue this program for many years to come.
After what seemed to be a late start, my cucumbers are going crazy! Just when I think I have them all picked, there is another one hiding between the vines. We eat them fresh, top off salads, make a cream sauce as a side dish, Greek Salad, Garbanzo Bean Salad, make pickles, and more!
