Wow, has time flew this summer!  It seems like we just had memorial day and suddenly here is labor day passing us by.   Even my son's summer vacation seemed to be over in a flash for him also.  I guess the old saying - time flies when you are having fun applied to him.  I'm worried fall will be
I was very busy also doing preparation work for fall and next spring.  A lot of the plants have really grown a lot with all the rain we have gotten and it seems most are busting out of their old pots and ready for bigger pots.  Being a new nursery, I don't have a lot of big equipment for potting plants.  I do it the old fashioned back breaking way - by hand and shovel - one pot at a time.  I can usually get about 100-150 done a day.  I'm hoping to be able to get a potting machine in the coming year so I can do 1000 a day or more.    I also expanded and created a new pad of plants on the other side of the yard.  I will be needing a new irrigation system soon for this reason.  I wonder if anyone has suggestions as to which potting machines and electronic irrigation timer systems work best?

I just brought in a large shipment of mums yesterday.  A local farmer is bringing in pumpkins tomorrow so we are gearing up for fall.  Maybe we should fix the place up for Halloween!  Hopefully it will not pass by as quickly as summer!
