What do you do with Plug plants? Parts 1 & 2

[veggiechicken]

Nice try rary! I'll send you a photo of my blooms (not bloomers) FOC

They'll be rooted Begonias as the plugs are only about a half inch square.

Much the same BM, keep the foliage dry and water from the base, as at that size its difficult to control the watering they are best sitting on a damp mat such as capillary matting, or a damp gravel bed

I bought some bedding begonias like these last year, pulled them up at the end of the year and put the root balls in a trough under the staging. Didn't pot them up, hardly watered them, and they kept flowering through the winter. They've just been potted up for this year. Even the tubs of geraniums survived under the staging so I don't need to buy new plants this year

[veggiechicken]

Two lots potted on (172 + 174 plugs of each) and 2 more to go. Running out of modules now

VC,

would you like me order 600 sweet aperitif tomato plants for you (I have your address ..so no other details needed)

[veggiechicken]

Thanks for the thought Elfeda, but I'll give it a miss, if you don't mind

3rd tray of begonias now potted on. These had leaves on long stalks and got a bit tangled up when I pushed them out of their little cells - so I "lost" a few Might have been a blessing really as I'm scratching around for things to pot them into
The remaining 170+ can wait until tomorrow. Its so cold in the GH, I'm frozen!

36, 36!! A mere 36 hardly worth getting the compost out for!

I just tried to order those but they have all gone

[veggiechicken]

The 680 ones, SP?

[Small pumpkin]

The 680 ones, SP?

Yes the 680 ones

[veggiechicken]

That was quick Only had the offer yesterday. Must be very popular

[veggiechicken]

I just tried adding them to my basket and it seemed to be OK. Had to empty it quickly before I bought them

[Small pumpkin]

Woo woo I've just tried again and I've now got 680 plug plants on the way
Thanks VC
It was very odd, I clicked on buy and the basket drop down box thing said total £0.00' delivery free, total £0.00 and basket was still empty. I tried it several times and this happened. So I assumed they were out of stock.
So if anyone else wants them keep trying there website must be very busy or having a senior moment

[veggiechicken]

Brilliant!! I was very pleased with my 680 begonias. The trays they send have 180 plugs in each, although there may be a few empty cells.
Drat - I want them now too
