We has a cold bluster day for the potting party. Nonetheless Kris, Nori and Jim, Mary G, and Pam arrived ready to work but without any plants! We all settled in around Kris' dining room table to drink wine and coffee, eat goodies and commiserate on our situation.... Well, the weather, you know, couldn't be helped (as my Grandmother used to say). Nothing was quite ready in any of our gardens to be dug up and separated. Even with the extra week and a couple of nice warm sunny days, the return of the cold slowed everything down again.
Then Becky arrived to save the day! Becky brought plants!
Becky spent an hour and a half cleaning up the Grantsburg sign. She couldn't stand it looking so raggedy!. She found plants needing separating and since her garden wasn't ready to dig up yet, brought big clumps of stuff from the sign. Great thinking Becky! We should start using the sign gardens as a space to propagate plants for our sale, mostly everything we've put in does quite well there.
We were able to pot up 70 plants from the items Becky brought. Thank you so much Becky!!
We will need lots, lots, lots more for the sale so please, please, please set aside plants for the sale.
You can pick up premixed potting soil and pots from Kris or Pam to pot up what you have or if we get requests for another potting party we could work on setting that up.
