greenhouse pre spring

for those who want to glimpse the soul train of a Senior dibo go to the life walk blog. this here blog be on the plant and garden end of the realm of earthy stewardship and vocation.

the greenhouse is bolging just about have all marches orders produced next week its a start on the aprils and some extra.

we produce starter plants in three sizes 72, 50 and 21. those numbers refer to the amount of cells in one 10×20 inch flat. the 21 are deep and well suited for gallon production one to three.

talked with a customer from the area between ashville and hendersonville north carolina. he was asking about hypericum calycinium whether he could get his liners now or waite for march. ours are warm so cold now is risky he doesnt have heated greenhouses so its a wait till march. he has been growing the villosa type of heuchers or coral bells. these are related to the native southeastern types, so they can take the heat better. maybe we need to test some in omaha?
