,A very busy month continues. Two falls of snow have set back the transplanting operation, but luckily also set back the budding of our plants. Most of our sales stock has now been sold, although we still have one or two customer orders left. Primarily, we need to move all the existing stock into new beds with fresh compost and then add the smaller nursery seedlings to this stock. All to be completed before active growth starts in the plants. |
The first picture shows one of our seedling beds about to be emptied of small seedlings by Anne and Christine.
The second picture shows Geoff and Terry re-siting the seedlings into their new home with new compost and a good drench of water.
Once the transplanting is complete, in appx. two more weeks, the beds look immaculate and weed free...albeit temporarily!
We are also still checking for germinated seeds in our stratification boxes, with only fifteen more bags left to germinate. The tables are getting fuller by the week.
Spring must be just around the corner.
