We tripled our space photos 3/1/08
It is so nice to run out of room and have to spread out to accomodate all the new plants this spring. Our misting beds are full of last year's cuttings. As all our rooted cuttings begin to grow up, we need space to put them to make room for this year's crop. We raked and pruned and dug and shifted and now have more than tripled our nursery area.
Here are some views of how we are expanding in anticipation of the new season.
 Here is how we looked when we began. Our very first bed, before there was a thing in it. July of 2007.
(Below) Now look at what is in that same area! Below, in the photo on the left, the bed row to the left of center is the same bed as you see above.
In the photo on the right, we plan to keep the right-hand framed bed area for our ready-to-sell pots. Plants in flats will go in the section with the crape myrtle liners.
(Below) Then we got in all the crape myrtle liners and had no place to put them. They are down the hill on this section of ground cover.
We have lots of sand flats already filled and waiting new cuttings. We had to move the remainder of the last load of sand in order to make living space for more plants.
Flats of shifted up and ready to sell plants will live in this area, as well as flats of liners we buy in from other locations.
In the first photo above, on the left, you can see a corner of new ground cover.
Below, you can see where that ground cover is located.
This strip is going to be where we put all our stock plants and anything else we are not yet ready to sell.
