It was considerably less mess and bother this year at seed planting time! I will use them again.
The local Lawn center manager I talke to said they use Fox Fertilizer’s potting soil for starting their seeds and flowers. Did they use their own mix at Jungs?
Depending on the weather I might be using the 4x4 pots too, at least for the peppers! (April 15-20 is generally the last frost date here...) If the soil warms up I might fill up a few of my Wall o Waters and plant tomatoes directly in the garden.
I will probably start asking around the lumber yards for broken bundles of shingles for the mud pathway in between my rows. (Yr Mothers idea!)
“Fox Fertilizer’s potting soil...”
I think that’s Fox Farm soil, and it’s quite expensive but supposedly very, very good.
I was never on the ‘greenhouse growing’ end of Jung’s - just the shill who ordered, displayed and sold the plants, trees and shrubs and unloaded semi after semi after semi after semi in the InSaNiTy that is SPRING in a Garden Center. ;)
I used to keep track for my crew of what we sold on each insane day. I think it was Mother’s Day Weekend and we sold something like 2,467 hanging baskets, and one other time I remember us selling 42,000 four-packs of veggies and annuals in a weekend, ($1.49 each!) as well as something like 20,000 pots of herbs at $2 each. My cashiers were simply amazing; they were like a well-oiled machine! :)
Yeah, it was crazy - but I loved every minute of it! :)
P.S. I’m NOT going back though, LOL!
