"With the amount of rain we received, paired with the cooler temperatures that refused to warm up, we just couldn't get anything started." The Schreiber family -- which also includes daughters Nevaeh, 7; Addilyn, 4; Amyah, 1; and a baby boy due in November -- raise cattle, as well as corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa on their farm they purchased from Chris's parents 10 years ago. Split Creek Farm is named for a tiny creek that splits up the Schreiber's farmland. "Flower farms try to grow as much in a little space as possible because everything is planted, weeded and picked by hand," said Shayna. "It's a small area; something like 1/8th of an acre, if that. And we grow our flowers without the use of chemicals." The Split Creek flowers are grown in either 6x6, 9x9, 12x12 or 18x18 inch spacing. "In that area, we have about 1,600 plants," These are some of Split Creek’s tulips that One of the unique flowers grown by Shayna noted.
