On 12/11/2013 my Plant Propagation Unit was with Lisa Short in the nursery. The first plant that I pricked out and potted on 20 tubes is Viola edible flower and botanical name : Viola comuta. A colourful across the rainbow blend of mid-sized and round face types. An attractive garnish for the culinary delights. The plants are compact with a profusion of flowers in spring and autumn.
After lunch break I pricked out and potted on Snowdrift Marigold in Rx90 around 18 tubes. It looks exciting by the cream-coloured flowers in late spring. End up the day with tidy up the greenhouse.
