This is what I am working on now. Ordering plant plugs and the process I go through to get it done. All from a grower that has been doing this for the start of 37 years.

Good morning…low clouds but seeing more blue sky hopefully the sun will come out.  It is warmer out high today 49F(9C) stay warm, stay safe. 
 
Australia family and friends for Friday Nov 21, 2025,  high for them will be 65F(18C) and clear with sunshine.   stay safe and ENJOY.
 
I wrote to a friend showing her what I am doing now with ordering plant plugs.  I asked her if I should share it with you.  She said yes, she finds it fascinating.  Here is what I mean when I am ordering plant plugs.  I have ordered begonias, pansies, and some vegetables as in cabbage, celery, collards and Kohlrabi. 

Today I will order celosia and Coleus plugs. Celosia I ordered last year isn’t available.  They might have a hard time getting the seeds, or the plant plugs didn’t sell well but that is up to them.  What you see is the varieties and sizes of the plug trays. From 40 to 512 plants in a plug tray. What kind to order?  What colors?  How many?
I must plan on when for them to ship the plug trays.  Minimum order is 8 plug trays. I order to have them come every week, so it gives me time to get them planted before the next order comes in.  I must think about growing time and having them ready for the spring sales.  I don’t get them all planted in one week but work on it.  I must decide what to plant these plug plants in.  small 4 packs, large 4 packs, single 4”, baskets and adding large containers to the list. 
 I must do this with each variety I get from plug trays. I order around 200 varieties so the order will take a few days.   
I sent this order to a broker, and she put it in the order.  I pay the company that the broker works for.   The grower then doesn’t have to bill each of us. The broker and the company have several growers to choose from. Does that make sense?
I can do one order a day to get my mind around it all. Just for your information.    Wish me good luck.
