Plug Connection

This is always a nice stop because Plug Connection is always taking chances to bring new and interesting products from the fringe to the mainstream. They told me we will be getting a full catalog for this next year, which will be great as they carry a full product line plus many unique items to fill the box with.
Oxalis Allure
Saw these at the MSU garden in Lansing this past summer and they looked really nice, but I didn't know where we could source them from. They look and perform exactly the same if not a bit better than the PW Charmed series, plus it is a less expensive input too.







Mighty-Mato
Grafted Heirloom Tomato. We were told that this program was in today's issue of the Wall Street Journal... Not to shabby. I am starting to buy the hype. This is a really expensive input at $2+ for a 102 liner. But this gives you all the heirloom varieties with unmatched size, vigor and yield.




PC promised me that they are not using Umpa-Lumpa labor to do these tiny grafts, but I have no clue how anybody could be this delicate. I struggle buttoning the cuffs on my shirts.




Make sure you plant the graft above the soil line!!! Or the scion will send out stem roots and the benefit of the special root stock will be eliminated.
These gallon pots are 5 weeks planted from a 102 liner. With a good marketing message this should be a $12 retail gallon.



Landscape Gerbera Everglades
Not a huge market, but caught my eye.



That's my hand. These flowers are huge!
