Byzantine gladiolus harvest

All of our hats go off to Ben today who created his own little dust bowl in the field. It was a noble cause though, as he was harvesting our Byzantine gladiolas. They are a site to behold, with some monsters weighing in at a size twelve. Not nearly are all of them that size, but they will be a good stock for propagating our future inventories.

I will be honest; I went on a small vacation with my brother last week. Unfortunately my dad was tied up and couldn't make it. Thank you Mr. Hyde for such a wonderful boat and help through your store over the past 5 years. I saw a moose, several beavers, a weasel, and had an osprey attack the fish on my line. I have never seen an osprey more confused then the one I saw dive into the water, grab my trout, and not be able to fly off. He sort of sat there in the water for awhile, looked to the left and to the right--as if to ask the rest of the animal kingdom if they saw what was going on--and tried one more time to fly off with my fish. He gave up and I got my fish!
