Last week we had some wonderful family members come help plant the rest of the violas into hanging baskets. We needed a few extra hands to get the job done. The day started off rather stormy but by lunch time the sun came out and the sweaters came off for a while! It's amazing the difference the sun makes in a greenhouse environment! In a span of 4 hours (not including our yummy potluck chili/salad lunch) we planted 1600- 8" hanging baskets each containing 7 plants.

For now they will stay on the ground, getting watered until roots are long and winding through the entire basket. As the weather warms, hangers will snapped into place and the baskets will be hung on pipes with a water dripper in each one.
