Spring fever has taken over! 2017 Version

Spring fever has taken over! 2017 Version

Our greenhouses are overflowing – no more room! So our carrot washing building has been taken over by tiny, gorgeous seedlings.

The fanciest carpet this room will ever see!

Every available flat-ish surface is being pressed into service.

Seedlings, wherever there is room!

And I mean EVERY flat-ish surface!

Can you see more seedlings hiding in there?

Even the carrot pit is full!

No carrots to wash right now, so why not!

And the conveyors…

Green staircase!

And they just keep on coming!

Another full load to try and fit in!

Some days are more fun than others.

Nice work guys!

They are lovely aren’t they?

Gorgeous!
