My wife choose this Hibiscus. She knew it was a good one before any blooms were showing. They recommended watering the Hibiscus with an APSA-80 mixture and spraying the plant with a NutriPlant mixture. Bam! Now, it's flowering beautifully about twice a week.
We did "Christmas at the Tree Farm" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought for the price point it was very well done. The lights are lovely, the little pond is very scenic and the tunnels are breathtaking. It reminds me of Santa's Wonderland twenty years ago, when you could pile the kids in the car and go around listening to Christmas music after dinner in a relaxing, holiday themed adventure. You don't need reservations, a car payment worth of money, or advance planning. You drive right in with little or no waiting. It's wonderful and I'm happy that this is our second year to attend and I can't wait to make it an official tradition next year.We didn't do the hayride, but I'm looking into adding that next year. There's just something so relaxing about a drive through that appeals to me in all the hustle and bustle of the holidays. And my kids are still young enough that this enthralls them (my son is still talking about Santa riding the dino!).A couple of notes to management:1.) Why don't you allow people to combine into one car? That makes no sense. We wanted to ride with our extended family, traveling from different homes. Instead of meeting there--and getting out of our car and potentially having concessions--we met up at our house and rode together and never got out. You got the same amount of money, lost out on concessions, and quite frankly seemed a bit stingy by the rule. 2.) The ticket I bought said clearly "Expect to spend at least 30 minutes to drive-thru, and you are welcome to drive-thru as many times as you would like!" Yet the employee scanning our ticket said "I'm supposed to tell you that you can only go through once, it's not my rule, it's the owners". I didn't want to argue, it defeats the Christmas spirit that I'm aiming for to start with an argument but that was disappointing.We really enjoyed the lights by the way, and it was very apparent that there were MANY upgrades since last year. Well done!
