new new-range pictures

As promised, I have updated our greenhouse construction project. Unfortunately at time of posting, these pictures are outdated. This weekend I plan on getting some more snapshots. In my spare time......

house 7-10

These houses (#7-10) are where we do our winter grafting work. I feel the new range will be a real advantage for the new grafts. Especially with uniform temperatures, we can really dictate the final outcome!!

And yes, I had the joy of partaking in the tear-down of the old hoop-houses! House 7 was the most interesting to work on. Check out the "framework" in the 3rd picture!

I will definitely add new pictures real soon, seeing as the main construction of the new range is nearly done! All that's left as of today is basically the interior.

Grass Leaves?.......

I think not! There's a reason they're called BLADES!!!

Our big push at work right now is shipping a nice assortment of ornamental grasses. As much as I enjoy the looks of these different beasts, handling them is a different story all together! The serration on the outside of the leaves is so fine, the blades will always win. Instead of just nicks on my hands and arms, it's cuts IN scrapes IN nicks.

On another note, we have started to get some of our crops into assigned houses for winter. The more we can have finished ahead of time the better, seeing as there is still lots to go. There's not much going on in prop right now, so I've been keeping busy with the rest of it all!!

'till next time, ('cause you'll never know when that will be)

Pete!
