Whew, it sure is fresh out there but the sun is shining! In our greenhouses, that can make the difference between having the heat on or off.
You might wonder what we have in our greenhouses right now. We're growing many different colours and varieties of Poinsettias! As you can see in the pictures, they are still green but by the end of October, we will begin to see colour. Many of you might wonder how poinsettias change colour. It has to do with the light levels that happen in the fall. Starting end of September, beginning of October until end of November, poinsettias must be in complete darkness for approx. 15 hours each day. (5 pm- 8am works well) For the remaining 9 hours, the plant should be placed in a sunny location. When watering, mix some water soluble fertilizer into it until
poinsettia out into the light for everyone to enjoy. So 
unless you are home everyday for 2 months to cover,
uncover and move your poinsettia around, it's a lot easier
to come here and choose from our many different colours. =)
We can even paint them blue!
