New plant babies!

It seems like fall was just starting and I was looking forward to that 'long winters nap.' Did it happen already? Flats and flats of new plants are already going for this year. We will continue to plant for the next month.
Finding space, is all about transformation. In the spring, the space that was used last as the flower shop, now transforms into the seedling house. (it is really a garage stall) Soon, we will put up the hoop house on the end of it, for 6 weeks, then that comes back down as the plants move out to the field or potted for sale. Then the 'space' is transformed back to the flower shop, and on and on. The hoop house on the 'space' is great for daytime, but as soon as the sun drops, so does the temp and quickly. My routine is to bring them in the 'space' at night, and back out in the morning. Sounds easy right? Well, it takes 45-60 minutes. Lots to move and find space for. Not looking forward to that part of spring!
