Threat of rain doesn't stop Prairie Tuesday crew

The potting shed, dirt pile and small crew. Want to join us?

We wondered how many plants we would get potted before the rain ran us out of the potting shed at Sheldon Lake.

Turns out the weather only threatened a washout. We got about 320 pots of Gamagrass, Switchgrass and miscellaneous grasses and forbs potted during the three-hour morning session.

Our goal on Prairie Tuesdays is to prepare 300 pots to keep up with the planters and build an inventory for volunteer groups that come in the spring to plant and the fall Plant-a-Thon.

We got a bit damp but were gone before the steady rain started. As we left the pots to get a soaking, I was thinking it would be a good afternoon for a nap. But I think that almost every afternoon.

Lining up pots in groups of 100.
