New Guinea Impatiens
This past week was once again a planting frenzy, as we transplanted a whole greenhouse full of New Guinea Impatiens.
Herbs of about 30 varieties were seeded or transplanted for spring.
Hanging baskets of Geraniums, Petunias, and Boston fern were planted, priced, then hung in greenhouses to complete growing for spring sales.
New cuttings of Plumbago, Ivy, and other vining filler plants were taken and placed in a rooting medium to develop a root system before being transplanted about 4 weeks later into 4" pots.
The first tomato seedlings were transplanted into 4 1/2' pots for early container planting or planting in a protected area before May 15th, for those who just can't wait to get started!
Soils are made up many times a day in different mixes to achieve optimum plant health. It may come as a surprise to many to realize different plants have different soil needs.
Two more greenhouses were cleaned and sterilized for the asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries and all the herbs and other vegetables being planted this week.
The roses planted two weeks ago are budding out nicely, and with sun and a little warmer weather, they will be bursting out!
