Sharon I am praying for you to get better soon. I had a buddy tell a story about when he and a friend were out fishing of an evening. the next thing he knows his feet are wet. in a panic he reaches for the flashlight to find something to bale with. It turned out that he had stepped into the beer cooler. I had to share that because the wet feet reminded me of it. I hope its nothing to terribly wrong.

well I got 3 trays done today. my helper couldn't make it so I was on my own. I still have the weekend to go. and I need to get soem soil in... just takes money. I did manage to stretch the soil though. got 100 trays out of 6 bags of miricle grow with polimers. Once I get everyone planted and watered in I will do my application of rooting and michorhyza application.
I will say I was a bit disappointed with the pink babies breath. they are not rooted well at all. I am going to try to either build a plug pusher or let them grow a few weeks. A plug pusher is a board with nails or pegs to loosed the rootball from the plug tray. with the soil being so much heavier than the top and small roots they just seem to be looseing the rootball and just top and roots come away from the tray. now this would not be a concern but I am afraid I am looseing some roots and causing damage. I did one tray and stopped so I could move on th a more friendlier tray.

ok the pic is of the west side of the nursery after I shifted some stuff around. I did relocate the 4 or 5 trays of misc. stuff in the front raised bed. Its now all full and I have just enough room to fit everyone I bought in.
