I waited most of the
week for a phone call to come in and tell me that the new shipment of plugs
were in to plant. There was no plant shipment this week, but I was asked to
come in on Friday and help out.
After taking a few Greenhouse
photos, I went into greenhouse 5 and trimmed a number of the Verbena plants. I
had planted these a few weeks ago and they were looking good. But I was asked
to trim them down. Trimming will make the plants fuller so I trimmed a number
of Verbenas. Then I went around and spaced some of the other plants. I would
alternate the plants in the trays and this would help them to grow fuller as
well.
My next job was in
Greenhouse 4, where I planted up a tray of 50 plants. I put four of the baby
plugs into a hanging basket. When I was finished I hung the hangers on each,
and watered in the plants.
My final job was to
repot a number of plants into larger pots. Some plants needed to be staked-up,
so I had to cut a larger size trellis to fit into the pots and tied those down
to the other small trellis. These were vining plants.
All in all, it was just
busy work at the Greenhouse; tidying up, trimming, re-potting, and spacing,
which are all part of working with plants in the Greenhouse.
Next week, I’ll be back
to work on Thursday and Friday because a big shipment of plants will be waiting
for me.
