I also did a larger 6-cell container for the owner of the Greenhouses. He told me he loved Coleus--so now he can enjoy some of the pretties from me for his own garden--assuming he has one? Or--I bet they with thrive all winter in the GH's and he can get lots of cuttings...Wish I had one..... Will drop these off maybe tomorrow? On the Acalyphas--I took about 6" cuttings--either topped them off took some from the sides. Sripped all but the tip leaves off and trimmed all those to about 2" x 2" each. Stuck them all in the tall 4" PW pots--so they have plenty of room for roots. That is done! Did not get to do the cuttings of the Persian Shield. NO hurry! We have a Bull Roast/Crab Feast/Store Meeting/"Success Sharing" checks hand-outs combo tonight. Starts @ 7:30PM-9:30PM. So--I am in to chill a bit before I go. Hope it is indoors! Sometimes they hold this outside the back Lumber Door- -there is a lot of room--BUT, hardly any lights as it gets dark. Wish it was earlier--BUT--the store is open until 7PM for business.. WE (the HD) Do NOT control when the lights get turned on or off. Home Office (Atlanta) does that. However--if there is a "Function" held--they can notify Atlanta to leave them on. They also control the heat and the AC in the stores....How's that grab you? FREE food! FREE Crabs...WHO CARES! :o) |
