More Tulips

We also have French tulips just starting to bloom.  they have either a pink-apricot or yellow coloration.  Long 18 to 24" stems with big 2+ inch blooms.


We also have some great purple tulips that this picture just doesn't do justice to.  They have 12-18 inch stems with 2 inch heads.  Rich purple color.

Cretaceous Tulips (Double yellow/orange)

our Cretaceous tulips have come up as well.  They are a tall double tulip (twice the petals).  That vary from yellow to a rich tangerine, both colors darkening as they open (the yellow approaches a light orange).  Stems are 15 to 18 inches, with 1.5 inch heads that spread to about a 4 inch diameter when open.





This last picture shows the variation in color across this variety!

Big Eartha Tulips

We started harvesting tulips last week, and it's been so much fun!  Here are some pictures of our first type up: "Big Eartha," a beautiful pink tulip with 20" long stems.  Heads grow from 2.5 inches towards 4 inches as the mature!

New Year, new plants!

Well, it's only February, and we've already started seeds for some of our early spring crops.  It's a fun time on the farm, lots of planning and dreaming.  All our fields are full of potential, and we can't wait to get started outside!

Here are some of our Swags that we took to Manhattan recently.  If you see something you like, or something you would like in a different color or with a different bow, please contact us at cooksmarket@gmail.com, and we'll do our best to create the perfect wreath for you!
