Crop 334 Picture Newsletter February 12, 2009 showing 'Ludwig Spaeth' Lilacs in the field and stage of growth preparatory to digging 50 or more for the spring sale.
Crop 335 Picture Newsletter March 2008 Spring flowering bulbs act as indicator plants for us in the nursery. When they start to flower we havve a 2 week countdown to when the lilacs will be at bud break.
At the beginning of each month I start an issue in one of several hundred past newsletter pages and send a link to my subscribers. Every several days I'll add more pictures, comments and links to other pages. After a week or two I link the page to the month shown on my home page.
Pictures of flowers are often of the inventory type with the date the picture was taken within the picture. Each inventory picture is saved using a file name that starts with the inventory number of the actual plant either for sale or in the garden for propagation, ending with the date. Simply by saving the picture without the date I can overwrite the picture in a crop page for that variety alone.
Most of the plants have more than one season of interest. So I try to take pictures of the plants we grow when they are blooming but also in fall with decorative foliage or fruit and in winter when covered with ice and snow.
Potential Customers subscribe and I send a link to them from the latest picture-newsletter. When they see something they like they come buy it in bloom. I like to hear your comments so please email me and subscribe if you haven't already. Those who dont subscribe will have to wait for the most recent pictures until part way through each month but can still enjoy last year at this time.
IN WINTER I AT LEAST TRY TO SHOW LILACS IN THE FIELD, ROSES IN STORAGE, PLANTS IN 45 GALLON POTS OUTDOORS AND THE INSIDE OF THE COLD FRAME WHERE I OVERWINTER BABY OWN ROOT PLANTS AND NEW ROOTED CUTTINGS.
Pictures are taken each month of snow, sleet and freezing rain on plants, fruit, foliage, together with propagation, planting, repotting or nursery maintenence at the Flowering Shrub Farm in Voorheesville, NY. and placed together with comments and links in one of the pages below. Each picture newsletter is linked from its month (January, february, March etc.) on my home page at flowers.yonatan.us People who subscribe receive a link to the page from the first of the month whereas those who dont subscribe can see the current picture newsletter as of the third week of each month. Having that advance information becomes more important during the plant sale when subscribers may be interested in purchasing some of the plants shown.
Every few days throughout each month, I add several more pictures, comments and links (with the most recent additions added at the top) before I start another similar page the following month (more about the newsletter at bottom). Clicking on a picture may open a larger version with more detail.
My main home page from which you will find a link to a catalog from which there are links to pictures is at flowers.yonatan.us An introduction to my growing methods (I am a grower) is at flowers.yonatan.us/growing.htm We sell plants during the plant sale at flowers.yonatan.us/intro.htm We do a little mail order at flowers.yonatan.us/mail.htm andyvancleve
