Design of the Year: Nissan Cube

Congratulations to NISSAN!

AUTOMOBILE Magazine just awarded the "2010 Design of the Year Award" to Nissan for their future-is-now CUBE.

"Funky, fun and futuristic" are just three attributes that led to the vehicle's top honors. From a bulldog-wearing-sunglasses grille to an interior shaped like a hot tub, the Nissan CUBE looks like no other.

If you'd like to see one up-close and in your driveway for free, just send your wife or daughter some flowers from REYNOLDS FLOWERS today. You see, not only is the CUBE the most stylish ride on the road, but at 30 mpg and with excess interior height, it also makes the perfect floral delivery vehicle!

ENTERPRISE STORY: As snow falls, summer veggies sprout in Middleboro

By Alice Elwell,
ENTERPRISE CORRESPONDENT

MIDDLEBORO — While others were shoveling snow this week, two local farmers were starting their seedlings of onions, spinach, leeks and broccoli to get a jump on spring and be ready to offer up home-grown vegetables when the weather breaks.

Dave Purpura of Plato’s Harvest Organic Farm has already potted his onions and spinach plants, while James Reynolds of The Dahlia Farm is germinating his broccoli this week...

Reynolds grew more than 4,000 tomatoes plants last year with one German heirloom that weighed in at 3 pounds. There’s also basil, parsley, dill and cilantro for those gourmet cooks who seek the freshest herbs...

Laurie and Dean Rantz tried a half-share in Reynolds farm last year and said they were very happy with the produce. “It was something to look forward to every week,” said Laurie Rantz.

Dean Rantz said Reynolds would fill baskets each week with vegetables, herbs and flowers, sometimes with things the couple had never tried. One week they were given kohlrabi, something Dean Rantz described as looking like an alien, but turned out to be tasty. “Hey, I’ll try anything,” he said.

Rantz said another bonus is supporting local business. He said with all the talk of living green, he decided to do what he can for the environment and invested in a local farmer.

I had a half share last season from The Dahlia Farm and was very happy with it. Fresh, no chemicals, and a variety of stuff that you just won't see in the supermarkets. The eggs are 2nd to none with amazing orange yokes and texture. I wrote about the experience several times on my blog - nemasket.net

2010: NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED

A new year and a new decade begin!

The 10th anniversary of our website marks a new beginning in our ecommerce with the launching of ReynoldsFlowersOnline.com.

Most obvious is the new look, but most importantly is the added shopping cart feature, previously unavailable.

If you ever found yourself a customer of ours, but occasionally ordered online at a national site (teleflora.com, ftd.com, proflowers.com, 800flowers.com) for ease of operation or after-hours purchasing convenience we now have an alternative for you.

Another major improvement is the "My Account" feature. You can now shop online and later return to your own unique account and retrieve previous shopping information such as addresses of people you have sent flowers to in the past as well as the dates of birthdays, anniversaries and the like.

The next time you need to send flowers in Middleboro, the surrounding area or anywhere else in the USA or Canada, please visit us at www.ReynoldsFlowers.com
