images from Becky's Greenhouse Good morning…clear blue sky and temperature is 40 degrees already at 9:00 AM very little wind so it is an awesome day. Sounds like clouds will move in this afternoon but the high of 55 low of 35 degrees. I just saw the delivery truck stop at the greenhouse. More boxes of plugs are here. Stay safe and enjoy.
I am doing my greenhouse diary for the last week. The first picture you see is the plug trays come in a box. There are 3 trays in this box. So that is 500 plants per tray, total 1500 little plants. Second picture is planting them in 4 packs. I don’t know if you can see how small they are. They are pansies. The third picture is the plug tray I was planting from. 500 little pansy plants. The fourth picture is me planting them in the dirt. Just push them in and we gently tap the flat when planted to make the dirt fill in around the plant plug. The fifth picture is the finish planting of 12-4 packs of pansies. I will put on the table and water and watch them grow. The sixth picture is my little watcher over the plants, or maybe helping plant the baskets. This shipment of plants was in boxes and had 11 trays with over 4000 plants to do. Besides the pansy, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, celery will be worked on. This is just the start of planting 1000’s of little plants. Our season has started in the greenhouse. This is our 35th year of growing plants. Hope you enjoy my diary, I will share more.
