The season begins!

Being one of the largest year round greenhouse operations in NE has it's perks even though oil isn't cheap. I have been storing and taking care of all the sample plants for a company doing trade shows around me and the salesmen gave me all of them this morning after the last expo. Doesn't look like much, but considering each tray holds 98 to 324 plants that retail from .99 to 6 bucks a piece... I was stoked.

A lot of mixed trays of new hybrids.

Non-stop Begonias and Geraniums.

Finished transplanting the Dracaena and Fed-Ex pulled in with this.

About 7,500 cuttings from Israel(Cohen Nurseries) and 12,000 from Cali(Selecta First Class).

Turned on the water heated rooting beds which Roofus immediately chills on. I think this is his favorite time of year.

Spent the rest of the day sticking cuttings. All by hand in 98 cell trays. Would prefer growing everything from seed, but all the good stuff now is copyrighted like media and have to come from the original vendor. Thus paying a royalty on every plant, but you get what you pay for.

Calibrachoa or "million bells".

One of the varieties of Helichrysum.

Lobelia, one of the few plants that has a true blue flower.

On the heat.

Cover them with newspaper for the first 72 hours or so w/ a over head water/capsule mix misting system that hits them ever 15 min during the day. Got through a quarter of the shipment and called it a day.

Farmer, it still amazes me how you're able to manage your whole business so well at your age. It seems like you're the young buck out there, would you agree with this? Do people give you funny looks when you tell them that it's your farm? I always expected some 50 year old man in overalls to be the farmer type, but you're clearly the exception to this rule.

I'm over a quarter century old:) and my girlfriend helps ALOT when she is not at her "real" job. Especially with the stuff I don't like dealing with like scheduling employees and accounting.

[tvshooter]

farmer- great to see others doin what they love to do, even if it's called a "job". Z- keep those pic's coming when u can...

Trying to dig out from today's snowstorm. Screw the shovel, I'm gonna need the snowblower.

Got me some good help...

...and some dogs.

Future snow cave. Almost big enough, but needs more freezing before we can carve it out.

and, WIWT.

[haploid]

Dope fit man! Good looking dogs + kid too. Will you post pics of the snow cave?

[zissou]

Thanks, man. Yeah, I'm saving that for the Stronghold WT pics.

[almostnice]

I know, I know ( I am old, too) I only bust it out when we have heavy snow (3-4x a winter). Otherwise, it takes me 3 hours to break my back shoveling my long driveway and three sidewalks.

pictures v2.0, dinner edition. This meal was interesting enough to shoot the entire thing...oysters and ovary from previous post also from this meal...

had to get a photo of the masses outside of Shibuya station

ate an amazing meal at this place...in the f-ing attic. being 6'5" really didn't help during this meal. mixed bag of great tempura, and lots of random animal nasty bits and innards that i was eager to try. enough Asahi and sake to make it a good night!

some pate made from fish parts. creamy and good

soup made with fresh roe, fish stock, and a bunch of stuff i don't remember

tempura tripe

skulls during dinner

wife and our friend Keiko-san

many more to come folks...i'm trying to edit through all 1,200 photo's i took while i was there, taking me quite a while. if the quality is shit on these it's because i'm lazy and using flikr to downsize the photos from their enormous original size, they seem to be ok though. now i'm rambling, night SUFU-ers!

[riff]

Great stuff -Z-! Looking forward to seeing more! Damn, I love Japan - can hardly wait for my next trip!

[almostnice]

seconded.always love your quality updates,keep them coming!
