Valentines Day

I saw this on the Internet. It is a wonderful photo of yellow gerberas being grown in Israel. It is Valentines Day this week, and we are unable to supply to our florists their needs. In fact the wholesalers are unable to provide all that the florists need. Valentines Day, and Mothers Day are two big periods for florists. We hope ours are back in action by Mothers Day.

Different Gerberas.

I am doing a house sit at the moment - not far from home. The house owners are from South Africa - and of course are very familiar with Gerbera flowers. They have some in their garden - the original variety. One is a pretty double - shall have to take a photo of it.

I think we have at long last killed the bugs in hot house number one, but they still seem to survive well in number two. Another spray yesterday. We must get on top of it.

With Valentine's Day next week our production is down - in fact there seems to be a shortage of flowers all round.
