Cut the gaura back to an inch or so high. Replace the PVC irrigation pipes with ABS or something designed specifically for irrigation. That will be something that can expand with water freezing. Get an air compressor and blow your lines out or install irrigation drains at low points and eld of lines,

I drain from the low points... I think there are a couple of "valleys" where the water pooled in a few places.

Child labor is in 👏

i worked at a commercial greenhouse and we wood put a little burlap on the dirt in the pots so that water could pass through but weeds couldnt,it worked great

My beautiful decade old garden was ravaged by a one year-old Belgium, German Shepherd for three months. I feel your pain son I feel your pain. Thank God my daughter took her doggy back.❤😂 My old doggy doesn’t do anything but lay out there and catch sun shine

Growing the business also means growing the amount of work. Hundreds and hundreds of pots that need weeding, trimming, up potting, on and on. Makes me tired just thinking of it. But, like you I'm up to the challenge. If I were nearby I'd volunteer. The good thing is the ground hog predicted an early spring. So maybe you'll get some good weather early enough to get you started before the big opening.

Greit video. Yes spring is comming and I'm sure you going to be ready in time for the opening and having tons of plants ready for sale.

Rose of Sharon are one of my favorites

Too bad I'm so far away or I would love to volunteer to help weed and/or plant plus it would be so fun being around the kids!!

You could call the checkout Hut "pay station" kind of like PlayStation but without the L. It's not very cute or creative but there won't be any confusion.

You look a lot like the guy in Tennessee who had a little back yard growing plants to sell in his driveway. I wonder what happened to him? Educational and inspirational!

Looking forward to it too! Mulch situation has been resolved... got a load last week. Hope no more problems there.

As far as your broken irrigation pipe goes, as long as you’re going to patch it up, I’d put a draining spigot right where it burst. That’s probably a low point and you have water collecting there. Next year, after you’ve drained your irrigation, leave the spigots open so any residually collecting water can find its way out. Hope that helps 👍

Love the reality of your business! It’s not always the beautiful picture people like to show you. Well done 👏

Weeds,weeds and more weeds. I know what your talking about, I work at a Garden Center and all our pots always have to be weeded. You have a lot to do and so,sometimes it’s overwhelming. Thanks for sharing your videos.

Looks like you need extra hands. Yahoo spring. Bring it on. Lol. Hope you find those pallet supply soon. Those and cinder blocks make excellent tables for trays.

You e got a TON of work ahead ! Good video to show people how much work and re-work you have to do everyday. If me I would make sure the checkout bldg has enough room for people to be in the shade while waiting to checkout so not sweating when hot out. I would think getting that irrigation in all the areas would be top of priority list so that when your done potting or cleaning up potted plants you’re essentially done having to spend additional time daily with them ? Your family is doing great and an inspiration ! We still have more praying on whether we want to expand our propogation and nursery efforts to a real biz for this fall and next year. God bless and keep on keeping on the seemingly sunami of growth work will level out soon.

Now I'm tired just listening to you. Good luck with all you are doing

You need to use a weed inhibitor in your pots to help stop your weed problem

Hi all Gura not hardy down to minus 10 hopefully you be lucky

Weed suggestion help...all natural, and will help cut back on time spent doing tedious work. Use PREEN in established plants. It stops weed seeds. Do not use it in seedling mix, or your seeds won't grow. But for established plants, it's good. It also has a shelf life in the dirt of 3 months. I'm thinking for your gravel walk areas and your already established planters. It will not hurt plants already grown. Hope this helps.
