    Hi Johnathan Lochart, My name is Neil Buboltz and would really like to meet you, Iam slowly stating my back Yard Nursery and would like to ask you some questions about the buisness and wondered if you would be willing to help me get started with some mother plants . I have pretty much everything that Mike sold me and Iam still working full time ,but will retire in a few years. This year I build two hoop house 10 by 28 feet with raised beds in them. Thanks Neil Buboltz

    I have been getting Mike McGroarty’s newsletters for a while now, even considered going into this business, but timing was wrong. How do you like it? I live in Northwestern Wisconsin and can’t find a “Backyard Nursery” anywhere up here. The closest in Wisconsin in near Madison, so you are closer to me than that. Just wondered if you have the Japanese Red Maples. Would kind of like to start some of them in a small way, and maybe actually move into the business slowly. We get over that way occasionally, so thought if you have them, I may arrange to get a few sometime.
    Thanks, Faith Brasel, Shell Lake, Wisconsin

    Hi Rita, Sorry I didn’t respond to you sooner. I don’t receive notifications of posts made to this website. But anyway, Yes the mini Red Cascade is a miniature climbing rose producing 2″ to 2 1/2″ blooms. Be sure to call or email me first before you come out as I am limited on space and I sell out rather quickly. My number is 651-730-1525 or you can reach me at [email protected]

    Thank you for the interest and I look forward to meeting you.

    Jon

    I am looking for miniature roses. You showed a mini red cascade. Might that be a miniature rose?

    Have bought quite afew from catalog and have
    been happy with them. But they don’t have too many differet colors.

    We live 30 miles south of Mpls so wouldn’t be a problem visiting you when it gets to be spring.
