As forewarned, we started to plant the Lily bulbs today.
First step is to remove the bulbs from the peat moss that they are shipped in, as volunteer Mardi is doing. She now has no butt.....she worked it off today.
Then plant them in the pots as they move down the line to the dirt machine that fills the pots.
Insert the tags.
This was just one of the jobs that Sean took on during the day. He was everybody's helper. That's David doing the boss job in the background.
And then, as the conveyor belts move the trays along, they are placed on the floor. That's David doing the work in the background.
In a few months they turn into beautiful Lilies that are given away. Oh wait, that was last year. Hopefully, 2021 will be a bit more normal.
But, a token amount may be given away. It's a tradition after all!

After work, I headed to Queenston Stationery for a card and some stamps. Couldn't walk when I got out of the car.
Took two rye and cokes to fix that problem!

Stay well. Think good thoughts.
