Greenhouse is cranking up! We got 230 bare root roses in last week that had to be planted—outside—and enough rooted cuttings to start 2-300 hanging baskets. It’s time, but too cold right now—20 last night—to plant cabbage and taters and broccoli and stuff. I’ve got a million tomato and pepper seedlings up that have to be transplanted soon. I’ve only got a 30x60 greenhouse, so everything has to be timed just right. It’s one of those big shuffle puzzles in a frame—you can’t take the pieces out, you just have to keep shuffling things around. We literally have plants hanging from the ceiling. LOL

From here on out, every day is going to be like Christmas eve at Walmart. I’ll be lucky to have time to breathe. Only reason I’m online now is because I’m at work and so far, very few customers. Sposed to be alomost 60 today, so as soon as it warms up...

Have a great day!

When I lived in Colorado, there was a place I went every early spring - to their 'deep root cellar'......OMG, I can still smell the cold, damp dirt, and see the tiny little green starts popping through the twigs and little branches. It was a "must do" trip, like a celebratory journey to welcome the beginning of spring.
