A Colorful Market Table - Page 36

Cole_Robbie · May 4, 2018

I had some troubles trying to heat my greenhouse in the freezing weather and that set me back, so I took a few weeks off and let my plants grow out of their freeze damage.

I should be good for tomorrow though. Here's what I have to take:

Nice! Good luck bro!

Great looking table. Just in time for Mothers day.

MissS · May 4, 2018

You should do well taking those plants to market. They are lovely.

efisakov · May 4, 2018

It is perfect time, just before Mother's Day.

They look really nice.

Your Marigolds look much bushier then mine, and overall much healthier. Can I ask what fertilizer/fertilizer program your using?

Mine are just looking kind "blah".

And oddly my dwarf zinnias "Thumbelina" shot up some long stalks and then bloomed. But I do plan to take them tomorrow.

Thanks. The only fertilizer I use is Osmocote Plus. I buy expensive seeds from Harris, and I water when the pot gets light, by soaking it in a bin of shallow water. Those are my tips. I am a big fan of bottom watering by soaking. The bigger the plant gets, the more beneficial that method becomes.

Im considering in the near future, switching to Granular. Im tired of mixing fertilizer. Not to mention, im considering my options as I am wanting to go Organic.

I think the secret tp organic container plants would be to never let them get below about 60 dwgrees. I am certainly not at that point yet.

I'd buy those, very pretty.

I should clarify, Organic Produce. Not to worried about Organic Flowers.But for what its worth, I believe that products like Blood Meal, Bone Meal, etc,... are not as dependent on soil microbes.

Cole, those look great.

Oh wow! Cole, you are getting to be such a superior gardener. They are stunningly beautiful.

Superior gardener AND businessman, seems like flowers is where the money's at. Beautiful work.
