Nearly full greenhouses

Spring is coming on in a slow and steady fashion.  All the trees are harvested for planting and shipped out.  Just a few remain for a summer vacation above ground in anticipation of fall planting.  The nursery liners have all arrived, so now we get the ground turned for planting in the nursery again.

The greenhouses have nearly filled up.  We are down to the final plugs that put on growth so quickly, it barely takes a month to get them ready for planting out.  There are crops ready to be moved to the outdoor holding areas to take the slow climb into late spring.  So much is happening at once.  Here's a peek at all that is happening inside our greenhouse walls.

The first spring crops are in my garden.

Leftover plugs that will find a new home in community gardens

The last of the plug propagation, marigold and vegetables

Shade plants, a sea of begonias and coleus

Thousands of geraniums, round one and round two

Supertunias and other 4" pots

Americana Geraniums, gallon and 6"pot crops as well as 100 Milwaukee Peace Project hanging baskets

Cold sensitive crops of Salvia, lobelia, and others

The 4th house is always rotating crops.  Growing the Alyssum from seed up front right now

An experiment in pushing plant growth.

Tropical in so many ways. A sea of Colocasia

Empty now but not for long. Exterior holding area for those cold tolerant crops is the best growth regulator

Hanging baskets coming to a festival grounds near you.  Petunias, petunia, and more petunias

This is really a sea of petunias because they are all Waves

Hardening off the early order

More of the early order that like it just a tad warmer
