We just wanted to give some thanks to Steve and Chuck for helping us pot up all the lisianthus we got in. We ordered them as plugs because they are pretty much impossible to start from seed, and they take forever, but they were just little itty bitty guys. Unfortunately too, we had 5 trays of 288 plugs which needed to be put into trays that only hold 50 so they can continue to grow even more before they get planted out. So, let's do the math: that means we potted up 1,440 plugs into 28 trays. Whew! Now you see why we couldn't have done it without them!
Well, extreme heat I don't think we are going to have to worry about, but cold maybe. We're thinking maybe we got them a little too early, but we put a wood burning stove into the seed starting greenhouse so we are hoping they will make it!
This year is our first experimenting with heat and with trying to have flowers this early. We are shooting for Mother's Day flowers, so wish us luck!
