Stock seedlings. Seeding is becoming more of a priority, as we get closer to getting all the baskets and planters finished. Flats will be the next goal, as soon as floor space opens up and we begin heating the cold section of the greenhouse.

Coleus with very fancy frilly leaves

Lots of puddles– ice and snow are melting off the roof outside, and the condensation inside is dripping everywhere.

Compare to same view last week– baskets on lefthand table have been hung up! This space won’t stay empty for long.

Trying something new this year: succulent hanging baskets

The New Guineas are really getting big!

Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg’ & friends

Baskets have disappeared from the lefthand table, and small pots of New Guinea impatiens have been planted in their place.

Exquisite succulent blossoms, from another Echeveria

Herb bay

Herb planting has begun! I’m starting on our larger pots of lavender and rosemary.

Waiting for handles, which have a slot to stick the tags through

More of the mixed succulent baskets, moved onto shelves in a brighter, cooler section.

Even when it’s cold outside, it can get pretty warm in here (as long as it’s sunny). It’s normal to have a day where it’s 0° F outside, and as much as 80° inside. We actually have to turn on the fans to cool the place down! Then at night, the heaters have to be turned on to keep it all above freezing.

Plastic walls help regulate temps between sections. Past that wall, we’re not yet heating and are just storing supplies for now.

Perennials. A mix of last year’s leftovers as well as new plugs that are waiting to be planted.
