What a grand day it is. The temperature at 1:30 PM is at 51 Degrees. It feels really good in the greenhouse. IT is official, I have moved the office to the greenhouse. Computer, printer, paperwork will be done here. I am writing this in the greenhouse. Being open from 9-6 each day and 1-6 on Sunday, it doesn’t leave too much time at home. So, move what I can from home. Office and computer can be that.
You will enjoy the shade I created as the sun is really bright to see a good computer screen. When you come you will see. The crew has taken over the watering inside the greenhouse, I did it till this week. That way I could see if any plants were having any trouble. With being open to the gardeners, I just can’t do all of that. When the plants are on the wagon trailers outside, then I will use the sprinkler system Larry came up with to water them.
We are hoping tomorrow to start bringing plants out to harden off outside. We are full so can’t do anymore planting till that happens. Some of the plants are perfect, so having them outside in a cooler temperature will be good. Larry will still put the wagon trailers in the east greenhouse at night as it will be still cooler out.
Yesterday we got our trees in. The fruit trees were budding, and I asked the driver if they were outside when they loaded them. “ No, they came out of a greenhouse.” With help, we loaded on a wagon trailer so they could be in the east greenhouse till the nights get over a frost or freeze. Looks like tonight and then the nights will get warmer.
I posted a picture of yellow nonstop begonia. Doesn’t that bring smiles. We have lots of planting blooming in the greenhouse. Quote from Nancy,” I just can’t believe how the plants I just planted a month ago are blooming and have grown.” I just said this is a miracle house. We plant, we water and they grow and bloom. Soon you all will be planting and enjoying your plants. Stay safe, stay warm and enjoy.
