Yes I was at the Calgary Show. This year I had the opportunity to work in the administration area at the back. I was there Friday night (the pre show for members who volunteer at the show) then again on Saturday until 2pm. This year was the absolute best! I overspent like usual but got some really nice plants. I would like to come see your show in Edmonton but I don't get to Edmonton much at all. One day I will for sure. I wonder if I saw you at the show in Calgary?

I water once per week. What I do is, I empty the old water out of the saucer, then I flush the medium out well and allow it to drain. Finally I place the pot back in its saucer and water it again, allowing the drained water to collect in the saucer. I fertilize every other week (or every other watering) at 1/4 strength, adding a little tap water to the fertilizer mixture. The fertilizing process is the same as the normal watering process.
This was actually my first time at the Calgary show. I overspent too  . You probably did see me as I was there from an hour and a half before opening (waiting in the car like the addict I am) to an hour or so before closing (we ended up waiting for some relatives in Calgary to show up and go through the show with us). I went through the sales area at least 5 times and the show area at least 3 times, I would say. I was a young guy carrying around a bunch of plants (at least until I got them to the "hotel"). Definately a day to remember - I got some pretty rare plants! |
