Every day of every week is different.
This past week, we started out with a fair amount of shipping. Enough that we could help train the Mexicans how to pull orders. Fortunately they know a minimum amount of English, and we know as much Spanish. We all seem to manage quite well.
Since our weather turned sour late in the week, shipping has halted. We can not ship product that is just starting to send out soft new growth, when temps are below freezing. Most product is pulled from poly houses in the nursery, and were starting to flush new growth. By the time we had our wagons full of orders and into the yard, we had frost damage on more sensitive vines.
We are currently going over the nursery from one end to the other, cleaning off dead leaves, pruning back as needed, spacing, culling for dead pots, weeding and any other crop maintenance we can do right now. As soon as the weather cooperates, we will be into some serious shipping to make up for lost time!
As soon as I can get my camera batteries charged, I will add new pictures for comparison from here to here.
