Pedro and I are getting married!

My long time romantic partner, Pedro, has finally mustered up enough courage to pop the question. We're getting married on Saturday, June 21st, of this year!

As you can imagine, we have a thousand and one things to attend to before then, so I won’t be blogging too often. The Rose business has kept both of us super busy in the last six months, so I haven’t blogged at all. I apologize to the readers of this blog who were looking forward to the regular reports from our three, fully automated Glasshouses.

We have timed the growth of our Roses to have a huge harvest a few days before the wedding, so we’ll have thousands of roses to decorate the Church and the Banquet Hall we hired for the occasion. We have grown very fond of our Midas Touch Hybrid Tea Roses, so the color yellow will be very prominent in the décor.

Pedros large family will be flying in from Spain, so we had to make reservations in advance for all of them. Most of them are coming two weeks early, so they can tour our Glasshouses, before we harvest all of our flowers. Pedro’s family have been growing Roses for generations, so I’m full of trepidation that they’ll find our operation wanting.

“Don’t worry so much, dear Jill,” said Pedro in a soothing voice. “Advanced Nutrients has taught us so much, that now we know more about growing Roses than the master growers of Europe.”

Whenever I start worrying, I just walk into one of our Glasshouses and I inhale deeply. The fragrance of the Roses is therapeutic, I’m convinced of that. And their visual beauty reassures me that I’m doing exactly what the universe wants me to do at this moment in time.
