bigugli Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Here I sit in Thorold watching the snow fall. Apparently winter is not done with us yet. Good thing we finished harvesting the last of the pussy willows back at the beginning of the week. Now we can focus on the seedlings on our nice warm grow benches and get the grow house all sealed up. Next week I hunt for crappie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Is that a real thing? The auction or "clock" is a Dutch system that has been in place in Toronto around 50 years. It brings flowers direct to the wholesale buyers without the need to have 2-300 small scale growers going from shop to shop selling their crops At one time large enough to be sole North American distributor of indoor potted flowers to Lowes USA, and one of a handful of nationwide distributors to Home Depot USA. That was back when our dollar was below $.70 US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they have the furry part on them at this time of the year? Mine don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Would they have the furry part on them at this time of the year? Mine don't. They are partially open already. We force them to be fully open for auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 There is no sign of open water anywhere in our area, most years we have ice out somewhere between April 1 and 15th. I have a feeling it is going to be a lot closer to the end of April this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
