Seedlings that had been started early in the new year have been moved out of the greenhouse and into a shadehouse.This means there is more room in the greenhouse to start some more seedlings. I am told we are now starting black spruce.
In the picture is the seeding machine with Mindy, again. If you have been following this blog you will have seen her near the seeding machine a number of times.
What is going on in the picture? The sheet (insert) of jiffy pellets is placed on the conveyor. A template is place on top before the inserts continues under the seeder. A "cruchunk" of the machine drops seeds into a tube which travels down to the jiffy pellet under the insert. It continues down the converyor where it gets watered before traveling another conveyor to the greenhouse bench.
The jiffy pellets will expand once watered to provide plenty of rome for roots.
Mindy - did I get it right? Dan you are looking good!!

Hi Mark, well, after much ado I finally found how to send this comment to you. Well, we'll see if it works, let me know. I had to go on and sign up, then I couldn't remember my password, so got another. Hope you all have a great weekend, enjoying the great outdoors.
