Vegetative Petunia Cuttings Have Arrived!

Me excited to start planting! When I went to pick up these plants, this is how the lady carried them out to my truck!

Four different colors of petunias...all for hanging baskets.

Planted 2 of each color in each pot....in a square pattern.

Try not to forget what color of plant you have in your hand.....easy to get them mixed up because they all look the same.



Carol helping me. We only planted 25 today. Waiting until more pots arrive from my supplier...hopefully tomorrow or Friday. Need to do 25 more.

I think the wires were the most time consuming part. Figuring out how to make them the height I wanted, and even, etc. Got the hang of it now.

Will wait a few weeks to hang them. I will be better able gauge how much water they need with them on the tables. Don't want to water them too much....too much water is just as bad as letting them go dry. Once the roots grow bigger, then I can hang them and use the drip irrigation.

I have high hopes for these baskets....I impatiently wait for color :)
The greenhouse will be beautiful...then hopefully each basket will go into someone's car, then to their house hanging on their front porch. :o)

These pots are 12" size but they are a deeper pot. That means there is more soil for the roots to grow around in, which means bigger plants and more flowers! Plus if you like to reuse your hanging basket pot, they are tougher and will hold up well for next year too. Just bring it back next year all cleaned up and we can replant it anyway you want.
