     Another busy day.  The last of the soils came.  An uneventful delivery.  No more deliveries until the week of the 18th when fruit trees, shrubs, and other plants come.  Andrew and Jay renovated the old cold frame so there is no more pulling a tarp over it every night.  The heater is in the hoop house, Jay will hook it up today for plants that don't need the heat of the big greenhouse but like it warmer than we keep the cold frames.  Rob stopped by after work and spotted the electrical problem right away.  a loose wire nut.  All fixed in five minutes.

     In the greenhouse we pruned, transplanted and planted more seeds.  Only a few hanging baskets left to prune. The pansies are outside on the display bench.   I made up the price tags for the bags of soil.   We haven't been able to do much pricing ahead of time this year.  Sometimes the items cost more than they did when we ordered them.  And with the increase of the cost of diesel all the surcharges have gone up.  Several bags of soil left yesterday, customers are already busy in their gardens.

     Today will be another busy day.  May God be with you.  Sally
