last time I floated the coleus cuttings on top of polymer gels until they were planted... but this batch shouldn't be too bad to get potted up

Thanks,
Needless to say I can move these duties to Friday.

i'm not ready! i'm not ready! oh well, i guess i'd better get ready!

I got all my trays ready last night....Oh I can't wait

I am still deciding what I am rooting them in... they are so darn tiny .. hate taking up a lot of room with the small stuff... maybe just a communal flat again.. they won't be in there that long

One year I had so much going on that I just took small butter containers and poked a few holes in the bottom. I wrote each coleus name on the outside and then stuck them in. That gave me the time I needed to get other things in order and then put them all in their trays. It worked well and I probably could have left them in those containers.

I'm rushed today... taking my Aunt for oral surgery and then I'll be staying with her until her son can get there this evening. Man, I'm so happy they didn't ship cuttings yesterday. I would have been in a huge mess. LOL That's when I would have been screaming ALLAN!!!!

Have a beautiful day everyone!

Coleus Roaring Fire

Well shoot! That pic looks awful. Hmmmm... looked better when I was viewing it.

Maybe this one will be better.

love that... try & take it easy today... and tomorrow.. I found a couple of plug trays... guess I will use those

SSShhhheeeeeeeeew!
The gazillion I got from SoHappy/eBay have arrived! A little disheveled, but still healthy.
And more than expected.
The sparkle rose impatiens, which had no flower picture are a great shade of coral/deep pink.
I am blown away.
Now, when are your planes landing??? Air Port is less than 15 minutes from here.
I can use some help!
I believe I will use brinda's several to a pot method for the tiny 280 Picotee Geraniums. Like thimble size!
Impatiens like wise.
I will get them done as to be ready for the cuttings. Gebhart shipped yesterday too.

Hello everyone, just checked in to see what is going on. My a lot. So sorry pheadra. Brinda the house is awesome. I am so happy for you. I am snowed under with all the plants Sandy has purchased from school for me. This is such a fun time of the year. Every one have a great time with all your babies. I am going to set some more today. Here is a pic of my haul to start me off. shirleyt

Here is more and the front porch of the house has even more. The girl went crazy. The box is now filled with zinnas.

I actually saved three types this year. Amazing for me. I will learn to do it I will I will. I am going to make babies from this mother plant. She survived and is doing great. I feel like a new mama. shirleyt

Hi Shirley, I love your photos. Don't you just love Spring.

you have some nice looking plants there!!

Hi sweet lady!
Sandy sure has a great eye. Spoiling my mother was so much fun. I'm a little jealous of Sandy.
Busy, busy, busy.
Sidney

I'm READY

I'm sitting here with my front door open and all your boxes are strategically placed around the living room. All I have to do is sort, stuff the boxes and print labels. Yippeeeeeeee!

Strangely I did not get an email from them with tracking number but they did charge my account yesterday so they must be on the way. They're guaranteed to be here by 10:30 this morning.

Is everyone ready?

hey Sidney yeah too busy. I got a lot to do today.Everyone should have a daughter like Sandy. Everyone just loves her. She delivered plants to a long list of friends. I just wanted to say hello to everyone and yes I just love Spring. I wish it would last all year. I love the breeze and the temperature. It will get very hot here much too soon. Have a great day. I have a long list of things to do today. shirleyt

Ready

So did they get there??? Or are you too busy sorting and packing to get online? Curious minds want to know. Will I need to wait with my door open tomorrow?
Better get my flats ready, yikes! I'm still working on taxes...
But looking forward to coleus and clematis brightens my day

They are all sorted and in their little ziploc baggies and in boxes now. I'm getting ready to print out shipping labels and then I'm out the door to the post office.

Many of you will get an email from usps.com that they have been shipped along with tracking numbers. I'll also post tracking numbers later today in case you do not get an email.

Hurry Cindi and get those taxes done (I filed an extension) so you'll be ready for these babies when they get there.

I was surprised this year with the cuttings. Many of them are much bigger than prior years.
