End of 2009/10 Plant Year

Beth, Nanci, Sarah and David helped wrap up the end of the 2009/2010 plant year. All seed flats were bumped up and all tree/shrubs pots were bumped up to 5 gallon pots. The tree inventory is back up to about 60%.
Beth brought in her flat used for her training at TPF, and finished potting them up. These were about 5.5 months, and many of the plants woodier than ours. These plants give us a good idea of what we should expect. Also I’m running tests on sycamore, walnut and willow cuttings.
The weather was slightly overcast with a cool breeze; rain is forecast for tomorrow. Deer mice continue to get into the Nursery containers over the past 3 weeks. We’re taking Beth’s suggestion of plugging the lock hole and the hinges. Stay tuned as whatever drives them to do this is strong. (Click any pic to enlarge)
