This is one of my favorite times of year, everything is new and we are all ready for a little relief from the winter cold.

The birds wake us with their singing in the morning and the frogs or crickets put us to bed at night. The days are getting longer and we can all look forward to those home grown vegetables (especially tomatoes).

If you didn’t start your own seedlings indoors a few months ago and are looking to still have those homegrown beauties in your backyard and on your table-

One great place in the area to find plants for your vegetable and flower garden is Frys Country flowers and vegetables…

Nancy and Ron Fry started their greenhouse business 3 years ago in Hillsboro. Nancy grew up with her parents having a greenhouse and mini farm and has always wanted one of her own. Also, she wanted to be able to pass on the knowledge and skills to her children. Nancy and Ron have lived in Hillsboro for 30 years and have 9 children.
