I did all the Coleus and also the Acalypha cuttings today.

Did 2 cuttings of Coleus per 2" cell . A lot! I know that will be tight--but so be it.
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)
