“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!

Jeeze, Happy day at Jungs! Thats a ton of product! Where was that? Madison?? Has to be in a larger city, not in some cross roads town of 600 surrounded by cow pasture!
Days in the sun surrounded by plants! Not a bad life! (And then winter!)

Cashiers! Look at you, bet you knew not to eat until every one else had!

I have an enormous collection of 4x4 purple herb and other pots from when I was still working and bought all my plants. Wash them out, reuse them. (But not yet this year)
