Juicy News for January

The new year has begun and with it new life, even in the dead of winter. These potted primula were transplanted in October and placed in a sunny greenhouse to grow over the Christmas season. Now they are beginning to unfurl their beautiful buds in colours of pink, purple, yellow and blues. The yummy green is a colour we crave this time of year. Primula are a sweet, little plant that can be enjoyed indoors until done blooming, then planted outside. Outside, these plants are hardy and one of the first plants to bloom in early spring.

Pansies have been seeded, transplanted and planted into various sizes of pots for spring. They are grown in a cooler greenhouse to keep the foliage growing larger and when the warmer spring weather arrives, the buds begin to form and by mid March there will be colour!

Keep checking our blog for weekly updates on what's happening in the greenhouse.
