Petunia Planting

Around 13, 508 Petunia plants!

1 1/2 miles!

Lots of hard work. Thanks for the steamers on a cool day, Aunty Kim!

Exhaustion.

Two semi's loaded with the flowers.

Isaac marks holes about 8" apart.

Waving to passerbys.

Nine colors - White, Hoola Hoop Blue, Red, Yellow, Plum, Burgandy, Pink, Strawberry, Red Frost.

Giant game of leapfrog - after you've planted your set of four.

One guy full time picking up garbage.

Hosanna and Karen arranged the flower design and helped plant some as well.

Long day.  Tired People. Need sleep.

  1. You are very energetic and dedicated! I helped our pastor's wife plant a few trays of begonias at the church--nothing compared to your project!

  4. Wow, you are so much farther ahead weather-wise than we are! Hopefully it will warm up next week. The petunias will look so nice.

    Are you heading to Prairie Days in June?
