Everyone I see asks if this is our slow time. In answer I say in some ways yes, but there's always something to do. In January, I packed up Christmas which took a few days. There's always inventory to take after a season.

Unrooted cuttings start coming towards the end of January and we finished planting the early pansies. Kevin seeded last week (more pansies) and we are awaiting some geranium cuttings that will need to get stuck into fresh soil and placed in our warm rooting house.

The label order for spring annuals gets done and I start to think about and work on signage. This year there are some changes in the pesticides that will be available so I have to do my homework and know what we can and can't have in our Garden Pharmacy.

Spring Fundraisers need to be organized and other office work caught up on. During the Christmas season, some of that falls behind! And this winter, Kevin has been blowing and shoveling snow almost everyday!

Our Retail greenhouse is open for walkers on Tuesday and Friday in January thru March so we enjoy seeing the regulars come in to exercise and get some sunlight. Even if it's a cloudy day, the greenhouse is still bright!

Have a great weekend!
