Of particular interest interest to our group was the Automatic Seed Planting Machine, and this plants 512 seeds in one tray, at a time. The greenhouses are all heated by steam. Seeds are started at different times of year, pansies in Nov., begonias, Dec. but most varieties Jan. and Feb. This operation hires many people in area and they estimate they grow and sell between 3 and 4 million plants each year. John then showed us the various cooling-off greenhouses greenhouses where the plants are hardened and prepared for your gardens. A very interesting interesting new garden idea was the "Grow Bag". These plastic plastic bags are already filled with a blend of composted soil, high quality peats and essential nutriments. Holes are cut in the top of the bags and established plants are then set in to grow. They will provide ideal growth and save space. Ideal for patios, gardens or Sven verandahs. f^John was thanked by group for such an interesting interesting tour and he then presented presented everyone present, with a pretty mum.
