May 30-June 4

This week was pretty good weather but a little overcast.  Because of this business was pretty steady, which was really nice.  I helped again with receiving shipments of annual color.  We got a lot of really beautiful petunias in tons of different colors.  We also got a lot of really interesting succulents and cactus.  I helped work a lot of them into endocarps around the fountains(above).  I also learned how to create succulent planters.  I think next week I will do a picture step by step of how to do it.

Tidbits of info:
-Zucchini is a summer squash

-Eversweet is the most popular variety of strawberry, they are small and squishy but very flavorful.  Quinalti is probably the second most popular.  They are a little bit firmer.

- Ligularia have bright yellow bloom spikes that come in summer.  Because of this they are a great choice for brightening up a shady location.

- Coral Bells/ Heuchera can come with a variety of leaf colors.  We had some come in that where orange and also had some that were obsidian black.  There are so many cool ones.
