This weekend had some ups and downs such as not having the Priva system working on Saturday morning. Another thing that put a loop into our weekend was the daylight savings (it was awesome to have an extra hour of sleep) but not when we got to the greenhouse to find out that the overhead curtains did not fall back for the one hour. That means that the were open for about 45 minutes before we got there and then closed at 3:30 pm instead of 4:30 pm but it worked out okay in the long run. 

 

This image shows the grasses that got divided (not all of them only like 2 plants worth) and some elephant ears that got put into the greenhouse for the foliage to die back. We also worked with some Tropicana cana’s that the awesome people from Clintar gave us from St. Joe's hospital.

 

The 3 annual beds at the east side of the greenhouse were cleaned up and we removed all annuals out of them. This was one of those jobs where you think that there is more work at hand but it turned out to be a pretty fast job that by time we were done it was nice to see what it looked like.

 

 

This is not Zack Effron working in the greenhouse its Justin….. this is where he put his supervisory skills aside and worked hard as nails to clean the inside of the greenhouse including the drains and washed media off the floor. As Pascoe asked for a spotless greenhouse we went at it sleeves rolled up. Mike if you read this we spent almost 3 and a half hours cleaning our greenhouse including the tractor bay inside the main room and washed out the trailer and the RTV got a wash. This weekend was a long but great weekend we had some good laughs but did what we were there for.
