Cloudy and Cool

I can't believe how fast the petunias are growing!
























































Here is an example of the purpling on the leaves I was talking about in an earlier post. This was most likely caused by too cool of temperature...
But thankfully my heater is working again pumping out nice warm temperatures!




The hardest thing about this stage in the greenhouse is just waiting. Sometimes the best thing you can do for the plants is to do nothing. It's tempting to water them but they just don't need it everyday since the weather has been cloudy and cool. So I just go in and look, and just wait until it's the day to fertilize. Just keep my hands off. :) Patience















Parsley Krausa-I think these little starts are extra cute.














Some baskets I made. Experimenting to see what is the best amount of flowers to plant in each one. I made a basket last year of rose and purple wave petunias and it turned out gorgeous. I make up some different combinations to try this year too.

















I drilled 4 holes in the side of this and planted flowers in each hole. I used this basket last year for my wave petunias and I really liked how it turned out. Not sure if it's necessary to cut the holes out or not really but since it turned out nice last year, I will do it again. This basket has different colors of petunias and white bacopa.































This above is my grandpa's experiment. Upside down growing tomatoes. He saw this in a catalog and had to try it out. I planted 2 tomato plants in this bag. We have 4 other bags we need to plant too. We are working on making a special stand for one of them...another experiment :) Talking to the people at the hardware store here in town, and they said a couple people they've talked to have said they would never grow tomatoes another way after trying this.

(I am not sure why this looks all messed up after I post it because it looks great before I post it. If anyone has any advice, please help!)
