Centennial Garden and Arboretum

April 28, 2009 by Marilyn Odneal

The dianthus 'Bath's Pink', although somewhat weedy (yes I need to get out there), is blossoming now. It is one of the edging plants in the Centennial Garden. The catmint is also blooming around the roses there. In the Arboretum, the lovely tulip tree - Liriodendron tuplipifera - is blooming right outside my window. I love the orange and green combination. Our dogwood is … [Read more...] about Centennial Garden and Arboretum

I am happy that spring temperatures have been cool! I just finished pruning my row of Vincent grapes and the buds have just started swelling. The demo vineyard was completed earlier.

05 Ruby Port

April 17, 2009 by Clayton J Odneal Jr

For 2 1/2 years we have been selling our 05 Ruby Port. This wine was the first wine that we entered in a wine competition (the Indy International wine competition) and we won our first medal - a Bronze. The comments on this port were great. I have taken this wine off of the web because we have sold most of it. And the wine sales of the other wines are going real well. We have … [Read more...] about 05 Ruby Port
