The ground is snow-covered and the roads are slushy and wet (mostly wet.) It is officially winter now, in my opinion. And more cold wet (and/or frozen) stuff is supposed to be coming our way in the next few days, which probably means the power will go out. Better dig out your Yankee Candles.
We’re here at the shop today tightening our plug orders. Plugs are tiny starter plants that we buy for some of the potted plants we grow to sell to you. Some plants grow easily from seeds, and others are grown from cuttings of existing plants. (Growing plants from cuttings requires equipment and facilities that we don’t have.) The easily-seeded ones we do ourselves, the more difficult-to-seed and the cutting-grown plants we buy as plugs. See, you learned something about us already that you didn’t know…
Anyway… we’re spending some time double-checking the orders to make sure we have enough of each variety, but not too many. It makes me get anxious for spring to come when I think about all the beautiful flowers that will soon be growing in the greenhouses. But first we have to get through some more winter…
Stay warm and drive carefully!
