     Another good day, weather wise and getting things done wse.  I got a perm in the afternoon, visiting with Amy, always a plus  Someone was watering most of the day because the sun came out.  We haven' seen much sun and it caught us off guard.  Thanks to our hard water we have trouble with some plants not getting enough iron, the hard water ties it up n the soil.  i spent the morning going through the greenhouses with iron water for anemic plants.

    Tamarra and Jay priced the soils.  Then he and Bekah moved plants out of the back room and Jay stacked the wood differently so there would be room for bowls of flowers.  Tammara spent the rest of the day making up the bowls. Our spring bowls were able to go outside with remay over them. Bekah and I moved the fuschias to the back room so the hanging petunias could have more room.  Today I'll plant my pots of hanging fuschias and hang them out.  They won't be as large as the ones we grow for the customers but there isn't enough room in the greenhouse for mine.  They always catch up.. 

    Last night as I was closing the cold frames, little greenhouses and starting the fire I was listening to the peepers.  They are early this year.  That means it is time to put the water lilies and pumps in the ponds. Pleased to be checking things off the list, pleased to be adding things on.

    May God be with you this day, Sally
