awaiting my order. sort of scared.... i ordered rosy dawn and gebharts to ship at the same time- yesterday... and just found out i had to work on saturday... have potting mix and pots ready... now just need a 25th or 26th hour to pot them up! i hope they survive! between work, my two little boys, and my little bun in the oven, why do i do this to myself? oh lavina:( i hope the rest of your coleus do well. last year a lost only a few RDG, but mostly i think it was my fault for not potting up right away. i watered, but who knows, i might have overdone it and rotted enough roots to kill the poor babies. first time ordering gebhart's directly, so i'm excited...
i just finally repotted my seedlings from collected 2009 seed on mother's day... so maybe it was a blessing in disguise that all but 5 cuttings of my North Carolina Farms order died??
can you say addict? i can't wait until the weather is steadily warmer so i don't have to keep shuttling the trays of larger coleus plants inside and back outside. that must be a hilarious sight for the neighbors who might see me do that around 6:00am in the morning.
I couldn't tell from the pics here, but are they using the same rooter pot (Ellepot) or is it a foam plug? i'm not a fan of foam-plug rooted plants, never had much luck with them... but maybe it's just me. this year to save a mess in the ktichen while rooting larger cuttings i used peat pellets, which i usually hate, but so far so good this year...
every year is a different gardening adventure (or misadventure). perhaps that's where the addiction lies?
ok, now i'm being silly.
gotta jet and finish filing home records before 2am hits.
take care all:)
joy
