Just a reminder that the organic greenhouse is no longer open.
It was destroyed in one of the tornados in 2012…
We will occasionally post information or things for sale while we downsize.
Thank you for your interest.

San helps out at the organic greenhouse
The Organic Greenhouse was totally destroyed
The good news is that all the family and extended family are fine. Elizabeth’s, Caitrin’s, and our homes are okay, undamaged. All of the critters (morgan horses, dogs, cats, and poultry) survived. The tornado came through our valley and across our farm.
Caitrin’s neighborhood sustained major damage.
Our neighbor, lost her entire roof. Our hearts go out to her and her family.
Some of our other neighbors lost parts of their homes, barns, etc.
We are grateful to everyone who has helped with the clean-up, and repairs…
More pictures to follow – will post some pictures of the treeline, fencing, etc damage on the www.SleipnirMorganHorseFarm.com website>>> Georgia’s Morgan Horse blog.

Closing The Shops At Morgan Lane
As of Friday, December 23rd, 2011, I have closed Morgan Lane Enterprises, (The Shops At Morgan Lane, The Greenhouse At Morgan Lane, & Antiques At Morgan Lane) due to a family member’s extended illness and rehabilitation period.
We are suspending shop hours at The Shops, including the Antiques and the Organic Greenhouse for awhile, but will definitely open up by appointment. You may Call or Text: 423 284 0899.
I will still blog about various items and ideas – perhaps I’ll have more time to write. Thank you to all our customers and suppliers and friends. Please keep following the blogs. I promise I’ll find more things to chat about.
Happy New Year to all.
Georgia (& John) Denman and Family
This is a quick post. More to follow.
As far as we know, all our friends and family have survived the storms/tornados. No one has power. All of our immediate family and critters are ok.
Most of our builldings had little damage. Some fencing was damaged, but the horses are all ok.
Friends in Bradley County lost all their farm buildings, but family and home are alright. Other friends had little damage.
Friends in McMinn County are flooded in; but they, home, and critters are all ok.
Britta is working in Arizona, and smoke is in the air from fires…but she is well.
We will update you with amusing stories, later…for instance Foxy and CL’s very heavy dog box stories…but for now…love and hugs to all our family and many friends…and prayers for all our friends, neighbors and customers…and the greater community of the world.
Hugs to all.
The Denman, McGee and Bayard Families

Depending on exposure, daffodils are either just up, or blooming gloriously.
No matter where they are planted, their faces turn to the South.
Sometimes, you can find leftover daffodil bulbs sitting in the clearance section of garden shops and discount stores. If the bulbs are still firm, it is possible to plant them and still get some springtime blooms.
If you find, or have, leftover tulip bulbs, they need to be exposed to cold, either in a cold garage, or the refrigerator, prior to planting.
When you walk through your garden and view the clumps of flowering bulbs, mark any clumps that need to be divided after blooming. A small stick or piece of old tableware, like a knife or fork, looks decorative, and reminds you where to lift and divide clumps of bulbs after blooming.
Pansies and snapdragons will benefit from fertilizing with a light feeding of liquid fertilizer, such as fish fertilizer every couple weeks.
Violet flowers and snapdragon blooms can be picked and added to fruit salads, or spring dinner salads for bursts of colors. Make sure that they have not been touched by inorganic chemical lawn and garden fertilizers. Pansies are in the violet family, but the big hybrid flowers are more beautiful in the garden than tasty in your meals.
If you didn’t get a sprinkling of hardy annual seeds spread out last autumn, it is not too late to do it this month. Seeds like calendula, cleome (spider plants), and bachelor buttons will be fine sprinkled in to a flower bed now, and will produce a floral display later in the spring and summer.

Hello,
Caitrin sent me a picture today from the greenhouse. The first of the tomato seeds have sprouted, and are sending tiny seedlings up from the trays.
She is busily planting mostly the Heirloom varieties of Tomato and Pepper plants at the moment.
Some of our most requested varieties are back this year. Also, new varieties have made the list for this year. We haven’t changed the website yet, but I’ve been working on the Lists of Plants.
If you just can’t wait to know what we are growing this year, come visit. Or, send me an email…and I’ll let you know some of the plans. Keep watch here for more news about the plants that we’ll have available, and other organic gardening information. We do take requests and pre-orders. We only grow limited quantities of each variety. So, if you have a special request get it to us early! We’ll do our best to please.
Also, we’ll have some more recipes and herb use ideas on the website and here in my blog.
We also carry the complete line of Jim Long Herb books, with most always available. Jim has interesting historical herb books also. Come see them in the Shop. They are reasonably priced and are great to refer to over and over. If you decide to order from their website, just tell them that Georgia at Morgan Lane sent you. www.LongCreekHerbs.com
We have lots of reasonably priced items for Valentine’s Day, or just a special treat.
Also, I’ve been interviewed for a blog on how to incorporate old-time ideas in to modern living, especially the organic growing and the heirloom plant varieties.
Anne will probably be writing several different blogs from her visit to our farm. Please check out her very interesting down-home blog.
www.floursackmama.blogspot.com
I am available for lectures on Herbs, Organic Growing, Antiques, or a variety of other topics.
We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Come spend a few minutes or a few hours. We are glad to see you, and there is always something new in the Shop, the fields, or the greenhouse.

We recently had a catastrophe at The Greenhouse.
We were able to save many plants, including the Christmas Cactus plants of various colors.
Some of the FAMILY/source plants were set back quite a bit, and we are carefully observing and nurturing them. But we lost quite a few plants also.
Some Houseplants really need to find a new home. They are not our primary focus at our organic greenhouse. We organically grow culinary herbs year-round; and Heirloom, Ethnic and some hybrid Tomatoes, Peppers, and other vegetables and edible flowers for Spring Gardening from seed.
The following Houseplants are significantly reduced FOR SALE:
Swedish Ivy hanging baskets
Tree philodendrons
Jade plants
”String o’ Pearls”/ “Donkey Tails”
Boston and Asparagus Ferns
Scented Geraniums
Strawberry Begonias
And a few others.
We will be writing about our Heirloom Tomatoes, Peppers and other plants for 2011 soon…
Please look over the 2010 plant lists for the Tomatoes and Peppers and let us know your favorites…and requests for 2011.
We will be ordering our seeds soon! and starting the plantings!
Due to the fact that my Birthday message stayed in drafts longer than I planned…we will extend my birthday gift to you through the end of the week.
See the blog posting below.
See you soon.
